Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of combining targeted therapy and immunotherapy with standard chemotherapy in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.Methods:This is a single-center retrospective cohort study. A total of 123 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who received first-line systemic treatment at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University between January 2022 and December 2024 were retrospectively enrolled. There were 65 males and 58 females,with a mean age of (65.1±10.1) years (range:22 to 88 years). According to whether targeted therapy combined with immunotherapy was added to chemotherapy,patients were divided into a triplet group ( n=46) and a standard chemotherapy group ( n=77). The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints included radiological efficacy indicators (objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR),clinical benefit rate,etc.) and treatment-related adverse events. Propensity score matching (PSM,caliper=0.2) was used to balance baseline characteristics between groups. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to estimate survival,and Cox regression models were applied to analyze factors influencing OS and PFS. Results:In the original cohort,the median OS was 11 months in the triplet group and 8 months in the chemotherapy group,with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.056). The median PFS was 5 months in the triplet group and 3 months in the chemotherapy group,also without statistical significance ( P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that the triplet regimen was an independent prognostic factor for both OS and PFS ( P<0.05). After PSM,baseline balance between groups was good. The median OS was 10.0 months in the triplet group and 7.0 months in the chemotherapy group, with no significant difference ( P=0.094). In terms of efficacy, the ORR was 26.1% (12/46) in the triplet group versus 7.8% (6/77) in the chemotherapy group,with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=6.320, P=0.012). The DCR was 54.3% (25/46) in the triplet group and 33.8% (26/77) in the chemotherapy group,also statistically significant ( χ2=4.214, P=0.037). The incidence of adverse events was similar between groups,mostly grade 1 to 2. Conclusions:The triplet regimen of chemotherapy,targeted therapy,and immunotherapy shows potential in improving efficacy and prolonging survival with acceptable safety in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. However, its definitive benefits require further investigation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11） expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma （ESCC） and clinical prognosis， and to determine its effects on ESCC cell growth， migration， and other biological activities. MethodsSLC7A11 protein expression was measured in 310 ESCC tissues and 259 adjacent normal tissues using immunohistochemistry to statistically assess the association of SLC7A11 with clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis in ESCC patients. The expression of SLC7A11 in ESCC cell lines was suppressed through siRNA-mediated knockdown. The specific effects of SLC7A11 knockdown on proliferation and migration were evaluated using CCK-8， clonogenic assay， and Transwell assays. Adenosine triphosphate （ATP）， lactic acid and pyruvate assays were used to measure ESCC metabolism. ResultsSLC7A11 protein expression was localized predominantly in the cytoplasm of ESCC tissues. Significantly higher SLC7A11 expression levels were observed in ESCC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues （P<0.001）. High SLC7A11 expression was associated with poorer differentiation in patients （P<0.01）. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated significantly shorter overall survival in patients with high SLC7A11 expression compared to those with low expression （P<0.05）. CCK-8 and colony formation assays demonstrated that the knockdown of SLC7A11 expression significantly suppressed the proliferative capacity of tumor cells （P<0.001）. Furthermore， Transwell assays revealed a marked decline in tumor cell migration capacity following SLC7A11 suppression （P<0.001）. Critically， SLC7A11 knockdown also reduced intracellular levels of ATP， lactate， and pyruvate， demonstrating that SLC7A11 modulated metabolic activity in ESCC cells（P<0.001）. ConclusionThe expression level of SLC7A11 is relatively high in ESCC and is strongly associated with poor prognosis. Silencing SLC7A11 significantly inhibits esophageal cancer cell growth and migration. SLC7A11 has the ability to regulate glucose， lactic acid and ATP metabolism levels in ESCC， thereby affecting the metabolic microenvironment of ESCC.

Objective: To investigate factors influencing perioperative blood transfusion in patients with scarred uterus during pregnancy undergoing cesarean section, construct and validate a transfusion risk prediction model, and provide evidence for preoperative assessment and blood management. Methods: Clinical data of 405 patients undergoing cesarean section for scarred uterus during pregnancy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2020 to December 2024 were retrospectively collected. The dataset was randomly divided into a training set (n=284) and a validation set (n=121) at a 7∶3 ratio. Within the training set, Firth-penalized logistic regression was employed for multivariate analysis to identify independent factors influencing perioperative blood transfusion and construct a predictive model. Model performance was evaluated in the validation set. Results: Multivariate Firth regression analysis showed that severe placenta previa (OR=75.566, 95%CI: 8.603-9979.174) and placenta accreta (OR=4.591, 95%CI: 1.120-19.416) were independent risk factors for perioperative blood transfusion, while preoperative red blood cell count (OR=0.189, 95%CI: 0.083-0.405) and fibrinogen levels (OR=0.588, 95%CI: 0.395-0.855) were protective factors. The predictive model constructed based on these four variables demonstrated good discriminatory performance, with areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of 0.803 (95%CI: 0.740-0.867) and 0.753 (95%CI: 0.644-0.862) in the training and validation sets, respectively. Conclusion: For patients with scarred uterus during pregnancy undergoing cesarean section, severe placenta previa and placenta accreta significantly increase the risk of transfusion, while higher preoperative red blood cell count and fibrinogen levels exert a protective effect. The predictive model established in this study facilitates the identification of patients requiring transfusion, thereby enabling preoperative blood preparation and optimized blood management.

ObjectiveTo investigate the ability of clinically isolated， Helicobacter pylori （H. pylori）-specific gene polymerase chain reaction （PCR）-positive gastric， vaginal， and fecal Candida to release H. pylori. MethodsResuscitate 4 strains of H. pylori -specific 16S rDNA and ureA gene PCR-positive Candida strains isolated in laboratory from clinical sources， including 1 strain of gastric Candida， 1 strain of fecal Candida， 2 strains of vaginal Candida and the standard Candida albicans strain ATCC10231 （Ca10231）. The presence of H. pylori-specific ureA in the 5 strains of Candida isolates was confirmed by PCR. The aforementioned strains of Candida and H.pylori were inoculated into urea medium and cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 37 ℃. The color change of the medium was observed daily. A change in the medium's color from yellow to red indicated the presence of urease activity. Then， the five strains of Candida and H. pylori were co-incubated with the magnetic beads coated with H. pylori antibodies respectively. Scanning electron microscopy （SEM） was employed to observe the presence of bacilli adsorbed on the surface of the magnetic beads. PCR was used to detect the presence of H.pylori-specific 16S rDNA and ureA genes on magnetic beads. ResultsThe PCR analysis of the ureA gene in the four Candida isolates was positive， whereas the Ca10231 strain tested negative. Upon culturing the four Candida isolates on urea medium， the medium color changed from yellow to red which was determined to be urease positive， while the medium containing Ca10231 remained unchanged， which was urease negative. SEM revealed that bacilli could be observed on the surface of magnetic beads co-incubated with the 4 strains of Candida of clinical origin and H.pylori isolate. Specifically， PCR testing of the magnetic beads co-incubated with one vaginal Candida， one gastric Candida and H.pylori isolate showed positive results for the 16S rDNA and ureA genes of H. pylori； however， the PCR tests for the two genes were negative for the magnetic beads co-incubated with the other two Candida isolate. ConclusionThis study demonstrates that H. pylori-specific genes Candida can release H. pylori.

At present,the drug substitutes represented by new psychoactive substances are gradually be-coming popular,leading to an increasing demand for identifying novel drugs with unknown structures in drug investigation.Nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)spectroscopy is an important tool for ana-lyzing molecular structures.In the absence of standard substances,quantitative NMR(qNMR)can un-dertake the quantitative analysis of target substances in complex mixtures and has unique advantages in the research of new drugs and their precursor drugs.Due to the limitations of the site and mainte-nance costs,as well as relatively complex operation,high-field superconducting NMR is less com-monly applied in drug research.The desktop low-field NMR developed in recent years provides a new alternative solution.Due to the use of permanent magnets,its size is reduced,and the operation and maintenance costs are lowered.It has been widely used in various research fields.This article reviews the development of low-field NMR technology,summarizes the application of desktop low-field NMR in screening and identification of suspicious substances,rapid content determination,analysis of drug manufacturing processes and synthetic routes,and correlation traceability.It also looks forward to the prospects and development directions of this technology in drug research,aiming to provide a reference for researchers who work in analytical chemistry and drug research.

Objective:To investigate the effect of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) on bladder cancer by regulating phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway via tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein epsilon peptide (YWHAE) and to examine its mechanism.Methods:The gene expression profiling interactive analysis (GEPIA) database was used to analyze HER2 expression in 408 bladder cancer tissues and 19 adjacent normal tissues. HER2 expression was then compared between 215 tumor protein 53 ( TP53) mutant and 193 TP53 non-mutant bladder cancer tissues. Tissue samples were obtained from patients who underwent surgical resection for bladder cancer in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital between June 2010 and March 2015. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were performed to validate HER2 and p53 protein expression, as well as analyze their correlation. Bladder cancer T24 cells were transfected with short hairpin RNA targeting HER2 (shHER2) control (shCon) or shHER2, designated as shCon and shHER2 groups. Bladder cancer UMUC3 cells were transfected with overexpression control (oeCon), HER2 overexpression (oeHER2), oeYWHAE, or short hairpin RNA targeting murine double minute 2 (MDM2) (shMDM2), and were designated as the oeCon, oeHER2, oeYWHAE and shMDM2 groups, respectively. UMUC3 cells were then treated with either 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide or 100 mmol/L dihydrotestosterone and designated as the solvent control and dihydrotestosterone groups, respectively. Additionally, oeCon and oeYWHAE UMUC3 cells were treated with the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (25 μmol/L), designated as the LY294002 and LY294002+oeYWHAE groups. On this basis, shHER2 was transfected into the oeCon and oeYWHAE groups, which were then designated as the shHER2-2 and shHER2-2+oeYWHAE groups. The relative expression levels of HER2, YWHAE mRNA, and HER2, p53, YWHAE, MDM2, phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), and Akt proteins were determined using quantitative reverse transcription PCR and Western blotting. Cell Counting Kit-8, Transwell, and wound-healing assays were performed to evaluate the impact of HER2 on the proliferation, invasion, and migration of bladder cancer cells. Mass spectrometry and co-immunoprecipitation assays were performed to confirm the interaction between YWHAE and HER2, and immunofluorescence was used to detect p53 expression. BALB/c nude mice were subcutaneously injected with 5×10 6 UMUC3 cells in the scapular region. According to the random number table method, they were divided into negative the control group and the transfection group, with 3 mice in each group, and transfected with oeCon and oeHER2, respectively. Tumor volume and weight were measured and calculated, and HER2 and p53 protein expression in bladder cancer tissues was validated by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the two groups. One-way analysis of variance or Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparison of multiple groups. Results:GEPIA database analysis demonstrated significantly higher levels of HER2 expression in bladder cancer tissues and in TP53 mutant bladder cancers compared with adjacent normal tissues (both P<0.01). HER2 expression was inversely correlated with p53 expression ( r=?0.6). Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting confirmed that p53 expression level in the bladder cancer tissues (5.32±0.11) was higher than that in the adjacent normal tissues (2.00±0.01), while HER2 expression level in the bladder cancer tissues (1.13±0.02) was lower than that in the adjacent normal tissues (6.20±0.06) (both P<0.01). HER2 mRNA and protein expression, absorbance at 450 nm wavelength ( A450) values, and cell invasion number and cell migration distance in the shHER2 group were all lower than those in the shCon group [0.25±0.01 vs 1.00±0.05, 1.00± 0.01 vs 3.26±0.09, 1.36±0.04 vs 1.65±0.06, (107.00±5.51) vs (202.70±11.61) cells, and (298.70±6.94) vs (454.30±7.84) μm] ( P<0.05, 0.01). HER2 mRNA and protein expression, absorbance ( A450) values, and cell invasion number and cell migration distance in the oeHER2 group were all higher than those in the oeCon group [0.78±0.02 vs 0.46±0.01, 2.05±0.02 vs 1.00±0.00, 1.23±0.06 vs 0.78±0.03, (136.30±5.24) vs (59.00±5.51) cells, and (153.70±7.27) vs (66.33±33.84) μm] ( P<0.05, 0.01). HER2 protein expression level in the dihydrotestosterone group was higher than that in the solvent control (1.83±0.19 vs 1.00±0.00), while p53 protein expression level in the dihydrotestosterone group was lower than that in the solvent control group (1.10±0.10 vs 1.53±0.15) (both P<0.01). The differentially expressed protein between the dihydrotestosterone group and solvent control group was YWHAE. The expression levels of YWHAE mRNA and protein in the dihydrotestosterone group (1.10±0.12 and 3.05±0.03) were higher than those in the solvent control group (0.30±0.12 and 1.00±0.00) (both P<0.01). YWHAE protein expression level in the oeHER2 group was higher than that in the oeCon group (1.37±0.08 vs 1.00±0.00) ( P<0.01) and YWHAE expression level in the bladder cancer tissues was higher than that in the adjacent normal tissues ( P<0.01). YWHAE expression positively correlated with HER2 expression ( r=0.4). Co-immunoprecipitation confirmed direct binding between HER2 and YWHAE. Overexpression of YWHAE significantly reduced p53 expression. The relative expression level of MDM2 protein in the oeYWHAE group (2.73±0.09) was lower than that in the oeCon group (3.43±0.12) ( P<0.01). The relative expression level of MDM2 protein in the shMDM2 group (1.00±0.00) was lower than that in the oeYWHAE group, and the relative expression level of p53 protein (2.00±0.00) was higher than that in the oeYWHAE group (1.07±0.07) (both P<0.01). The relative expression levels of YWHAE and p-Akt protein in the oeYWHAE group (1.23±0.09, 3.00±0.06) were higher than those in the oeCon group (1.00±0.00, 1.13±0.03) ( P<0.05, 0.01). The relative expression level of p-Akt protein in LY294002 group (2.20±0.06) was lower than that in the oeCon group (3.30±0.10), and the relative expression level of p53 protein (2.10±0.06) was higher than that in the oeCon group (1.00±0.00) (both P<0.01). The relative expression level of p-Akt protein in LY294002+oeYWHAE group (2.00±0.06) was lower than that in the oeYWHAE group (3.53±0.14), and the relative expression level of p53 protein (2.10±0.06) was higher than that in the oeYWHAE group (1.00±0.06) (both P<0.01). The relative expression levels levels of YWHAE, p-Akt and MDM2 protein in the shHER2-2 group (1.60±0.15, 1.70±0.06, 0.80±0.06) were lower than those in the oeCon group (2.30±0.06, 2.30±0.06, 1.13±0.09), and the relative expression level of p53 protein (1.83±0.12) was higher than that in the oeCon group (1.00±0.00) ( P<0.05, 0.01). The relative expression level of YWHAE protein in the shHER2-2+oeYWHAE group (2.00±0.06) was lower than that in the oeCon group ( P<0.01), and the relative expression levels of MDM2 and p53 protein (2.63±0.15, 1.13±0.03) were higher than those in the oeCon group ( P<0.05, 0.01). The tumor volume, tumor weight, and relative expression levels of HER2, YWHAE, p-Akt, and MDM2 proteins on day 28 in the transfection group [(5 133.0±185.6) mm 3, (0.65±0.12) g, 2.23±0.02, 4.00±0.12, 3.33±0.06 and 2.24±0.02] were higher than those in the negative control group [(2 633.0±88.2) mm 3, (0.33±0.07) g, 0.98±0.02, 1.27±0.03, 1.29±0.02 and 1.46±0.06] (all P<0.01). The relative expression level of p53 protein (1.21±0.04) was lower than that in the negative control group (3.29±0.04) ( P<0.01). Conclusions:HER2 may promote the malignant progression of bladder cancer by regulating the PI3K-Akt pathway via YWHAE, thereby facilitating MDM2 nuclear translocation and p53 degradation. This ultimately enhances the proliferative, migratory, and invasive capacities of bladder cancer cells.

Objective To compare perioperative outcomes of minimally invasive aortic valve surgery by a right anterior minithoracotomy (RAMT) and conventional sternotomy. Methods A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent isolated aortic valve surgeries in Central China Fuwai Hospital of Zhengzhou University between May 2021 and August 2023 with a minimal incision via the RAMT approach (a RAMT group) or conventional incision via the full sternotomy approach (a conventional group). A propensity score matching analysis was performed to balance preoperative data and compare perioperative data of the two groups. Results There were 58 patients in the RAMT group, including 46 males and 12 females with an average age of (52.0±14.1) years; 128 patients were enrolled in the conventional group, including 87 males and 41 females with an average age of (60.0±12.4) years. After propensity-score matching, there were 51 patients in each group. The RAMT group had a longer average operation time, cross-clamping time and cardiopulmonary bypass time compared to the conventional group (all P<0.05). However, ICU length of stay, ventilator-assisted time and postoperative hospital stay were significantly shorter in the RAMT group (all P<0.05). Patients in the RAMT group had lower 24 hour chest drain output (P<0.05). RAMT was associated with a trend towards a lower blood transfusion rate in comparison to the sternotomy group, although this was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The occurrence of all-cause death, and perioperative complications was also similar in both groups (P>0.05). Conclusion RAMT has less trauma, faster recovery, less postoperative drainage, and shorter hospital stay than conventional approach. RAMT in patients undergoing isolated aortic valve surgery is a safe approach.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),systemic immune-inflammatory index(SII),systemic inflammation response index(SIRI),and aggregate index of systemic inflammation(AISI)in chronic kidney disease(CKD)patients complicated with heart failure.Methods This study enrolled 190 CKD patients complicated with heart failure(case group)and 30 CKD patients without heart failure(control group)who treated in the outpatient and inpatient departments of Wenling Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2022 to December 2024.Differences in NLR,SII,SIRI,and AISI between the two groups were compared,and the relationship between these inflammatory markers and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome types in CKD patients complicated with heart failure was analyzed.Logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve were used for evaluating the predictive efficacy of NLR,SII,SIRI,and AISI for illness severity of CKD complicated with heart failure.Results(1)The levels of NLR,SII,SIRI,and AISI in the case group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.01).(2)In CKD patients complicated with heart failure,NLR,SII,SIRI,and AISI were positively correlated with N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)levels(P＜0.01).(3)Among the CKD patients complicated with heart failure of fundamentally deficiency syndromes,spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome was the most prevalent,followed by spleen-kidney qi-yin deficiency syndrome,spleen-kidney qi deficiency syndrome,and yin-yang deficiency syndrome.Among the CKD patients complicated with heart failure of incidentally excess syndromes,blood stasis syndrome was the most common,followed by damp-heat syndrome,urinary toxin retention syndrome,and water-damp syndrome.(4)In CKD patients complicated with heart failure of fundamentally deficiency syndromes,NLR,SII,SIRI,and AISI levels ranked in the decreasing sequence in the syndromes of yin-yang deficiency,spleen-kidney yang deficiency,spleen-kidney qi-yin deficiency,and spleen-kidney qi deficiency;in the patients with incidentally excess syndromes,the levels ranked in the decreasing sequence in urinary toxin retention,damp-heat syndrome,blood stasis syndrome,and water-damp syndrome(P＜0.05).(5)Multivariate logistic regression identified NLR,SII,SIRI,and AISI as independent risk factors for illness severity of CKD complicated with heart failure(P＜0.01).(6)ROC curve analysis demonstrated high values of NLR,SII,SIRI,and AISI in differentiating illness severity of CKD complicated with heart failure(P＜0.01).Conclusion Inflammatory markers of NLR,SII,SIRI,and AISI exhibit significant correlation with illness severity of CKD complicated with heart failure,suggesting their potentiality as biological markers for TCM syndrome differentiation and disease progression assessment in this population.

Objective To investigate the correlation between insulin resistance markers[triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index],inflammatory indicators[neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),C-reactive protein(CRP)],and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndromes in patients with diabetic kidney disease(DKD)complicated by carotid atherosclerosis(CAS).Methods This retrospective study enrolled 300 DKD patients with CAS(case group)and 30 DKD patients without CAS(control group).Differences in TyG index,NLR,and CRP levels were compared between groups.The relationships between these markers and carotid intima-media thickness(IMT)/plaque area were analyzed,along with their variations across TCM syndromes.Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analyses were performed to evaluate the predictive value of TyG index,NLR,and CRP for plaque stability and prognosis.Results(1)The TyG index,NLR,and CRP levels in patients with DKD and CAS were significantly higher than those in patients with DKD alone(P＜0.01).(2)The TyG index,NLR,and CRP were significantly positively correlated with IMT and plaque area(P＜0.01).(3)In patients with DKD combined with CAS,the TyG index,NLR,and CRP levels in those with unstable plaques were significantly higher than those with stable plaques(P＜0.01).(4)Among the distribution of TCM syndromes in patients with DKD combined with CAS,the qi and yin deficiency syndrome had the highest proportion(33.33％),followed by spleen and kidney yang deficiency syndrome(28.67％),yin and yang deficiency syndrome(22.00％),and turbid toxin and stasis obstruction syndrome(16.00％).(5)Among patients with DKD and CAS,the TyG index,NLR,and CRP levels in patients with different TCM syndromes decreased in the following order:turbid toxin and stasis obstruction syndrome,yin and yang deficiency syndrome,spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome,and qi and yin deficiency syndrome.(6)Logistic regression analysis results showed that TyG index,NLR,and CRP levels were closely associated with plaque stability in patients with DKD combined with CAS(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(7)ROC analysis showed that these markers have high prognostic value in DKD-CAS(P＜0.01).Conclusion TyG index,NLR,and CRP may serve as potential biomarkers for TCM syndrome differentiation and prognosis assessment in DKD-CAS.
