Purpose The study aimed to analyze the relationship between MET gene variants and clinicopathologi-cal features in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Next-generation sequencing technology was used to detect MET gene variants in NSCLC specimens.The association between MET gene variant status and clini-copathological features was then analyzed.Results Among 1 633 cases of NSCLC,the overall MET mutation rate was 4.53％(74/1 633).Variants were mainly observed in male patients,never-smokers,those older than 60 years,ade-nocarcinoma histology,and patients with TNM stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ disease(P＜0.05).MET gene variant status showed no significant assocication with patient age,sex,smoking history,or pathological subtype(P＞0.05),but was statistical-ly correlated with clinical stage and presence of distant metastasis(P＜0.05).The two major variant types were MET exon 14 skipping and MET amplification,which together accounted for 71.62％of all variants.In addition,MET am-plification was positively correlated with EGFR(P=0.003,rs=0.340)and TP53 mutations(P=0.002,rs=0.362),but showed no correlation with KRAS or ALK gene mutations.In contrast,MET exon 14 skipping was nega-tively correlated with EGFR gene mutations(P＜0.001,rs=-0.409),and showed no significant correlation with KRAS,ALK,or TP53 mutations.Conclusion Different types of MET gene variants(amplification,exon 14 skip-ping,fusion,and others)are significantly associated with clinical advanced clinical stage and distant metastasis in NSCLC,but are independent of patient age,sex,smoking history,and pathological subtype.MET amplification fre-quently co-occur with EGFR and TP53 co-mutations.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective: To discover molecular markers associated with lung adenocarcinoma diagnosis/prognosis and drug resistance through screening of differentially expressed genes based on published chip data in gene expression databases using bioinformatics methods. Methods: Comprehensive analysis was performed in available mRNA microarray datasets including lung adenocarcinoma tissues dataset GSE32863 and lung adenocarcinoma taxane-platin resistance dataset GSE77209 from the gene expression omnibus(GEO) database. Gene ontology enrichment analysis, gene pathway enrichment analysis and protein interaction network analysis were performed based on significantly correlated genes. The expression level of genes was validated in the cancer genome atlas(TCGA) dataset. Survival differences were assessed by the log-rank test in TCGA lung adenocarcinoma dataset. Based on the publications genomics of drug sensitivity in cancer(GDSC) database in CellMiner cross database(CellMiner CDB), Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between differentially expressed genes and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50) of anticancer drugs. Results : There were a total of 77 genes which had a different expression in resistance lung adenocarcinoma cells and lung adenocarcinoma cancer tissues. The functional enrichment analysis showed that these co-different expression genes were mainly enriched in microtubule, extracellular exosome, cell cycle and signaling by nuclear receptors. Protein-protein interactions(PPI) network screened 6 most connected genes as molecular complex(MCODE). Among the MCODE, overexpressed ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 T(UBE2T), kinesin family member 20A(KIF20A), PCNA clamp associated factor(KIAA0101), pituitary tumor-transforming gene 1(PTTG1) and NIMA related kinase 2(NEK2) were associated with poor outcomes. Survival analysis results showed that these five genes were upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and drug-resistant cells and were significantly associated with poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma patients. Drug sensitivity analysis results suggested that high expression of PTTG1 and UBE2T was significantly associated with sensitivity to multiple anticancer drugs, including paclitaxel and docetaxel. RT-PCR validation showed that PTTG1 andUBE2T were highly expressed in docetaxel-resistant cells A549-TXR and H358-TXR. Conclusion PTTG1 andUBE2T holds the potential to be chemoresistance markers in lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture combined with low-frequency electrical pulse in the treatment of neurogenic bladder (NB) caused by spinal cord injury (SCI); To explore its effects on urodynamics.Methods:A randomized controlled trial study was conducted. A total of 116 patients with NB caused by SCI in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine from January 2022 to June 2024 were selected as the observation objects and divided into 2 groups with random number table method, with 58 cases in each group. On the basis of conventional bladder function training, the control group was given low-frequency electronic pulse therapy, while the observation group was treated with the Tongdu Tiaoshen method on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated continuously for 3 months. The urination conditions of the patients were observed before and after the treatment respectively, and the residual urine volume, single urine volume within 24 hours, the number of urine leaks within 24 hours, and the number of urinations within 24 hours were recorded; urodynamic parameters such as bladder volume, urine flow rate, detrusor pressure, bladder compliance, and detrusor contractility were measured using a urodynamic analyzer; the severity of NB symptoms was evaluated using the Chinese version of the Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Scale (NBSS), and the quality of life was evaluated using the Chinese version of the Short Form Health Assessment Scale (SF-Qualiveen). The levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by ELISA. Adverse reactions were recorded during the treatment period and the clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:The total effective rate was 91.38% (53/58) in the observation group and 75.86% (44/58) in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=5.10, P=0.024). After treatment, the residual urine volume, single urine volume within 24 hours, frequency of urine leakage within 24 hours, and frequency of urination within 24 hours in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( t values were -15.68, 3.75, -3.81, and -7.54 respectively, P<0.01). The bladder capacity, urine flow rate, detrusor pressure, bladder compliance and detrusor contractility were higher than those of the control group ( t values were 11.04, 7.49, 9.76, 5.65 and 4.36 respectively, P<0.01), while the NBSS score and SF-Qualiveen score were lower than those of the control group ( t values were -10.82 and -9.83 respectively, P<0.01). No obvious adverse reactions occurred in either group during the treatment period. Conclusion:Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture combined with low-frequency electrical pulses can improve the bladder function of NB caused by SCI, restore urodynamics, and improve the quality of life. Its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of inflammatory responses.

In May 2023, the Chinese Stomatological Association promulgated the group standard of "Standard on Clinical Dental Treatment for Children under General Anesthesia Orsedation". These specifications were formulated through broad-based expert consultation, iterative revisions, and a comprehensive review of relevant literature, incorporating the collective expertise of nationally recognized authorities in the field. The standard establishes a unified evaluation system and clinical guidelines tailored to China's medical context, aiming to regulate related medical practices. This paper aims to provide an in-depth interpretation of the standard, integrating the clinical research and experiences from the Pediatric Dentistry Department of West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, in performing dental treatments under general anesthesia in last 12 years.

Objective To establish a cellular model of Parkinson disease by treating retinoic acid(RA)-differentiated SH-SY5Y cells with α-synuclein preformed fibrils(α-Syn PFF).Methods SH-SY5Y cells were divided into undifferentiated and RA-differentiated groups.The expression levels of tyrosine hydroxylase(TH),dopamine transporter(DAT),lymphocyte activation gene 3(LAG3),and Nestin proteins in the cells were detected using Western blotting,whereas those of microtubule-associated protein 2(MAP2)and neu-ronal nuclei(NeuN)were detected using immunofluorescence staining.Furthermore,RA-treated SH-SY5Y cells were divided into control and α-Syn PFF groups,and their levels of chromatin condensation were detected using Hoechst 33342 staining.Nitric oxide(NO)levels were measured using a NO assay kit.Additionally,the protein levels of TH,poly(ADP-ribose)(PAR),and poly(ADP-ribose)poly-merase(PARP)in these cells were detected using Western blotting,whereas their expression levels of phosphorylated α-Syn(pS129-α-Syn)and phosphorylated histone H2AX(γH2AX)were detected using immunofluorescence staining.Results Treatment with RA resulted in a reduction in cell body size and the elongation of protrusions in SH-SY5Y cells.The results of Western blotting showed that RA treatment could increase the TH,DAT,and LAG3 levels and decrease the Nestin level in SH-SY5Y cells(P＜0.05).α-Syn PFF treat-ment decreased the TH protein level and increased the PAR,PARP-l,and cleaved PARP-1 levels in differentiated SH-SY5Y cells(P＜0.05).According to the immunofluorescence results,RA treatment increased the expression levels of MAP2 and NeuN in SH-SY5Y cells(P＜0.001).The α-Syn PFF treatment increased the expression levels of γH2AX and pS129-α-Syn in RA-differentiated SH-SY5Y cells(P＜0.01).The Hoechst 33342 staining results showed that α-Syn PFF treatment led to chromatin condensation in the differentiated SH-SY5Y cells(P＜0.001)and increased the NO levels(P＜0.01).Conclusion A cellular model of Parkinson disease can be established by treating RA-differentiated SH-SY5Y cells with α-Syn PFF.

The method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis holds a significant position in the theoretical frame-work of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)for cancer treatment.However,the impact of blood-activating and stasis-eliminating herbs on tumor metastasis remains a subject of clinical uncertainty,which has drawn considerable attention to research on their effects.Based on TCM's understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of tumors,this article elaborates on the molecular mechanisms through which blood-activating and stasis-eliminating Chinese herbs and their active components influence tumor metastasis.This in-cludes their roles in affecting tumor angiogenesis,inducing normalization of tumor blood vessels,and interfering with the Warburg effect in tumor cells.The findings provide a scientific basis for the anti-tumor theory of the blood-activating and stasis-eliminating ap-proach.
