Objective To analyze the economic cost of self-monitoring of gestational diabetes mellitus, and provide a basis for measuring the economic burden of gestational diabetes mellitus, and to provide a reference for the formulation of intervention development and the adjustment of resource allocation. Methods The individual economic cost of self-monitoring for gestational diabetes mellitus was measured based on a decision tree model, and the total economic cost of self-monitoring for gestational diabetes mellitus in Beijing was estimated. The uncertainty of the model parameters was analyzed using one-way sensitivity analysis. Results The average individual economic cost of gestational diabetes self-monitoring was 1184 RMB, and the individual cost incurred by choosing different types of blood glucose meters ranged from 403 to 18 000 RMB. The average individual economic cost of finger-stick blood glucose monitoring was 606 RMB and the average individual economic cost of continuous glucose monitoring was 2 374 RMB. The total economic cost of gestational diabetes self-monitoring in Beijing was 23.818 0 million RMB, and the total economic cost incurred by choosing different types of blood glucose meters ranged from 0.292 5 to 9.027 9 million RMB. The proportion of the finger-stick blood glucose monitoring had the greatest impact on the robustness of the results. Conclusion Finger-stick blood glucose monitoring is still the dominant self-monitoring method and is less costly than continuous glucose monitoring. Self-monitoring of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus incurs certain economic cost and causes an economic burden on society.

Dyslipidemia is one of the common metabolic disorders in type 2 diabetes mellitus,often coexisting with insulin resistance and central obesity to form metabolic syndrome,significantly increasing the risk of macrovascular and microvascular complications in diabetic patients.Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(non-HDL-C)refers to the sum of cholesterol contained in other lipopro-teins except high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C).In recent years,the importance of non-HDL-C in the management of diabetic complications has garnered increasing attention,and it has been established as a major lipid-lowering target along with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)in the latest expert consensus on lipid management for Chinese diabetic patients.Clinical studies have demonstrated that non-HDL-C is closely associated with residual cardiovascular risk and recurrent stroke risk in diabetic patients,as well as carotid plaque vulnerability and the development of peripher-al arterial disease.Additionally,non-HDL-C is also closely related to diabetic nephropathy and reti-nopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus,and achieving long-term control of non-HDL-C levels can reduce the risk of chronic kidney disease.This article summarized the relationship between non-HDL-C and complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus and elucidated its significance as a future clinical therapeutic target.

Objective:
To explore the value of nomogram based on DCE-MRI radiomics combined with clinical-ra- diological features in predicting HR status in breast cancer with Her-2 low expression.
Methods:
A total of 198 pa- tients of Her-2 low expression breast cancer who underwent standardized breast MRI in our hospital from January 2019 to February 2025 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into HR ( + ) group ( n = 137) and HR ( -) group ( n = 61) .The cases were divided into a training set ( 138 cases) and a testing set ( 60 cases) in a 7 ∶ 3 ratio.Clinical-radiological model was based on clinical and traditional radiological features,radiomics model was based on DCE-MRI,and combined model was constructed,respectively.The nomogram was drawn,and re- ceiver operating characteristic curve was used to compare the performance of different models in predicting HR sta- tus.
Results:
The DCE-MRI radiomics score ( Radscore) between the HR ( + ) group and the HR ( -) group showed statistical differences in both the training and testing sets ( both P<0. 001) .The AUC of the clinical-radio- logical model based on lesion mobility,Ki67,TIC type,enhancement pattern and maximum diameter for predicting HR status in the training set and testing set were 0. 643 and 0. 616,respectively.The AUC of the DEC-MRI ra- diomics model in the training set and testing set were 0. 897 and 0. 860,respectively.The nomogram drawn by combining clinical-radiological features and Radscore showed better predictive performance in both the training set ( AUC = 0. 913) and testing set ( AUC = 0. 898) than the clinical-radiological model ( all P<0. 05) .
Conclusion
The nomogram combined by DCE-MRI radiomics and clinical-radiological features can effectively predict HR sta-tus of breast cancer with low Her-2 expression,which is helpful to the building of individualized treatment plan for breast cancer patients.

Lymphatic metastasis is the main metastatic route for colorectal cancer, which increases the risk of cancer recurrence and distant metastasis. The properties of the lymph node metastatic colorectal cancer (LNM-CRC) cells are poorly understood, and effective therapies are still lacking. Here, we found that hypoxia-induced fibroblast activation protein alpha (FAPα) expression in LNM-CRC cells. Gain- or loss-function experiments demonstrated that FAPα enhanced tumor cell migration, invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, stemness, and lymphangiogenesis via activation of the STAT3 pathway. In addition, FAPα in tumor cells induced extracellular matrix remodeling and established an immunosuppressive environment via recruiting regulatory T cells, to promote colorectal cancer lymph node metastasis (CRCLNM). Z-GP-DAVLBH, a FAPα-activated prodrug, inhibited CRCLNM by targeting FAPα-positive LNM-CRC cells. Our study highlights the role of FAPα in tumor cells in CRCLNM and provides a potential therapeutic target and promising strategy for CRCLNM.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics and distribution of monoclonal gammopathy in clinical patients.Methods:A total of 936 171 patients (508 449 males and 427 722 females) who received capillary zone electrophoresis in Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from January 2012 to December 2021 were selected, from which 14 945 patients with abnormal bands were screened as the study subjects, including 10 173 males and 4 772 females and the age 21-102 (65±13) years old. According to the age, patients were divided into 8 groups: 21-30 years old (168 cases), 31-40 years old (405 cases), 41-50 years old (1 326 cases), 51-60 years old (3 068 cases), 61-70 years old (4 985 cases), 71-80 years old (3 288 cases), 81-90 years old (1 519 cases), and≥91 years old (186 cases). The diagnostic results of the 14 945 patients with abnormal bands were collected and were divided into tumor group (5 196 cases) and non-tumor disease group (9 749 cases) according to the presence of tumor. The distribution of abnormal bands in different gender, age, and disease groups were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 14 945 patients, 4 988 cases underwent immunofixation electrophoresis, excluding 336 negative cases and 412 cases of double clonal bands reaction, and 4 240 patients with monoclonal immunoglobulin (M protein) reaction were selected as the study subjects, including 2 794 males and 1 446 females aged 21-102 (67±12) years old. They were divided into 8 groups according to the age: 21-30 years old (18 cases), 31-40 years old (91 cases), 41-50 years old (364 cases), 51-60 years old (862 cases), 61-70 years old (1 455 cases), 71-80 years old (904 cases), 81-90 years old (486 cases), and≥91 years old (60 cases). The diagnostic results and immunoglobin subtypes (IgA-κ, IgA-λ, IgG-κ, IgG-λ, IgM-κ, IgM-λ, κ, λ) of patients were collected, and the distribution of monoclonal gammopathy in different gender, age and disease groups were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among 936 171 patients, 14 945 cases showed abnormal bands in electropherograms with a detection rate of 1.60%; the detection rates of abnormal bands in males and females were 2.00% (10 173/508 449) and 1.12% (4 772/427 722), respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.01). There was a significant difference in the detection rate of abnormal bands among different age groups ( P<0.01); among them, the highest detection rate of abnormal band in group of ≥91 years old was 5.98%, and the ratio of male to female was 1.67∶1. Among the 14 945 cases of abnormal bands, patients aged 51-60, 61-70 and 71-80 accounted for 20.53% (3 068 cases), 33.36% (4 985 cases) and 22.00% (3 288 cases), respectively, and the differences among the age groups were statistically significant (χ 2=115.82, P<0.01). In the tumor group, the top 3 tumors with abnormal bands were plasmacytoma with 1 123 cases, lymphoma with 289 cases, and leukemia with 49 cases. The detection rate of abnormal bands in electropherograms of plasmacytoma was 89.92% (1 123/1 249), which was higher than that in lymphoma and leukemia [6.73% (289/4 296) and 6.40% (49/766), respectively, P<0.01]. Among 4 240 patients with positive M protein, the proportion of 51-60, 61-70 and 71-80 years old patients were 20.33% (862/4 240), 34.32% (1 455/4 240) and 21.32% (904/4 240), respectively, and the differences among age groups were statistically significant ( P<0.01). The results of M protein types showed that the proportion of IgG-κ type was the highest in both genders, with 32.28% (902/2 794) in males and 34.30% (496/1 446) in females. In the 21-30, 31-40, and 41-50 age groups, the proportion of IgG-λ was the highest, which were 38.89% (7/18), 36.26% (33/91) and 34.07% (124/364) in these groups respectively. However, the proportions of IgG-κ were the highest in either of the 51-60, 61-70, 71-80, 81-90 and ≥91 years old groups, which were 33.87% (292/862), 34.16% (497/1 455), 31.53% (285/904), 34.57% (168/486), 28.33% (17/60), respectively, and the differences among all age groups and gender groups had statistical significance ( P<0.01). Among patients with positive M protein in the tumor group, plasmacytoma accounted for 14.22% (603/4 240), followed by lymphoma 6.30% (267/4 240); among non-tumor diseases, M proteinemia accounted for the highest proportion (7.24%, 307/4 240), followed by pulmonary infection (5.47%, 232/4 240). Conclusions:The detection rate of abnormal bands in capillary zone electrophoresis may increase with age, and is higher in males than in females in the same age group; different malignant tumor diseases can also show abnormal bands in capillary zone electrophoresis, but they are still mainly hematological tumors. Among the positive results of M protein, 61-70 years old group accounts for the highest proportion; the most common type of monoclonal gammopathy is IgG type; in the age group of 21-50 years, the proportion of IgG-λ type is the highest; in the group of >50 years old, the proportion of IgG-κ type is the highest; in the diagnosis of positive monoclonal gammopathy, the top 3 diseases are all hematological diseases, including plasmacytoma, monoclonal gammopathies and lymphoma.

ObjectiveTo compare the effects and differences of Yiqi Liangxue Shengji Formula (益气凉血生肌方) and atorvastatin on the repair of vascular injury in rats from the perspective of metabolomics. MethodsTwenty-four male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-surgery, model, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and ator-vastatin groups, with 6 rats in each group. The rat model was established by balloon-induced abdominal aorta injury. Gavage was started on the day after surgery in all groups of rats. The sham and model groups were given with deio-nized water, TCM group received Yiqi Liangxue Shengji Formula 6 g/(kg·d), and the atorvastatin group treated with atorvastatin suspension 2 mg/(kg·d) for 4 weeks. HE staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of the injured segment of the abdominal aorta; ELISA detection was used to test serum nitric oxide (NO) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels; UPLC MS/MS technology was used for widely targeted metabolomics detection in serum, and multivariate statistical analysis was used to screen metabolic markers and pathways of two drugs; finally, compare serum levels of key metabolic markers of the above two medications in rats of each group. ResultsCompared with the sham-surgery group, the neointima significantly thickened, the level of NO decreased significantly and the level of CRP increased in serum of the model group (P<0.01); compared with the model group, the degree of arterial intimal hyperplasia in TCM group and atorvastatin group reduced, with an increase in NO levels and a decrease in CRP levels (P< 0.05 or P<0.01). The results of serum metabolomics showed that TCM group obtained 49 metabolic markers and 6 metabolic pathways, while atorvastatin group obtained 41 metabolic markers and 4 metabolic pathways. The two medications jointly regulated 38 metabolites. Glycerophospholipid metabolism and arginine-related metabolism were common metabolic pathways for both medications. Lysophosphatidylcholine (16∶1/0∶0) [LPC (16∶1/ 0∶0)], phosphatidylcholine (15∶0/15∶0) [PC (15∶0/15∶0)] were the key metabolites of glycerophospholipid metabolic pathway; ornithine, spermidine were the key metabolites of arginine-related metabolic pathway. The tricarboxylic acid cycle and glutathione metabolism were the unique metabolic pathways of Yiqi Liangxue Shengji Formula. Compared with the sham-surgery group, LPC (16∶1/0∶0), ornithine, and spermidine levels elevated and PC (15∶0/15∶0) levels decreased in the model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, LPC (16∶1/0∶0), ornithine, and spermidine levels decreased, and PC (15∶0/15∶0) levels increased in both TCM group and atorvastatin group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The degree of LPC reduction (16∶1/0∶0) was more significant in atorvastatin group compared with that in the TCM group (P<0.01). ConclusionsBoth sham-surgery and atorvastatin could regulate lipid metabolism and arginine-related metabolism, exert the characteristics of lipid-lowering, anti-inflammatory, improve arginine/NO bioavailability, and improve endothelial dysfunction. Atorvastatin showed more advantages in lipid-lowering and anti-inflammatory, while Yiqi Liangxue Shengji Formula has unique characteristics in regulating energy metabolism and improving oxidative stress.

Objective To investigate the relationship and potential pathways between metal(loid)exposure and the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)in women of childbearing age. Methods This case-control study included 200 patients with PCOS(cases)and 896 non-PCOS controls with the age of 25-37 years.The concentrations of 29 metal(loid)s in the follicular fluid(FF)and clinical indicators in the serum were measured in all participants.Logistic regression analysis and mediation analysis were conducted to evaluate the associations between metal(loid)exposure and PCOS risk and investigate the possible roles of clinical indicators,respectively. Results Logistic regression analysis revealed an association between high copper levels in FF and increased PCOS risk(highest vs.lowest quartile:adjusted odds ratio=2.94,95%confidence interval:1.83-4.72).A high luteinizing hormone/follicle-stimulating hormone ratio and elevated levels of testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH)were strongly associated with increased PCOS risk induced by high copper exposure.The mediation analysis indicated a mediating effect of AMH in the association between copper exposure and PCOS risk. Conclusion Copper may affect PCOS risk through the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis,mediated by AMH.Copper exposure and internal AMH levels are important indicators for early warning of PCOS development.

Organoids are three-dimensional cell complexes formed by stem cells or tumor cells cultured and self-organized in vitro,which have higher simulation in morphology and function than the traditional two-dimensional cell drug screening model.However,the conventional organoid culture technology based on matrigel dome in culture dish or well plate has the problems of low throughput and time-consuming,which limits the application of high-throughput organoid drug screening.Therefore,a series of microfluidic high-throughput organoid culture and drug screening technologies have been developed.From the perspective of microfluidic technology,this paper reviews the current application of high-throughput organoid drug screening in three aspects:organoid culture,drug delivery and result detection.According to the different forms of organoid culture units,organoid culture techniques are divided into three categories:microfluidic droplets,microwells,and micropillars.According to the structure and working mode of drug delivery system,drug delivery system is divided into microchannel network and drug droplet array.According to the different forms of information obtained,high-throughput results detection methods can be divided into four categories:microplate reader,microscope,high-content imaging analyzer and chip sensor.Based on the above technologies,the application of typical organoid drug screening is introduced.Finally,the summary and prospect of organoid drug screening are presented.
