1.Detection and analysis of MSX1 gene mutations in two families with non-syndromic tooth agenesis
Journal of Prevention and Treatment for Stomatological Diseases 2025;33(5):359-367
Objective :
To screen and analyze mutations in two families with non-syndromic tooth agenesis, providing a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of tooth agenesis
Methods:
This study was reviewed and approved by the Medical Ethics Committee, and informed consent was obtained from patients. Information and blood samples from two core families with non-syndromic congenital tooth agenesis were collected, along with blood samples from 100 normal controls. Pathogenic gene mutations were explored through whole exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing. The pathogenicity of the identified mutations was analyzed using prediction software Polyphen-2, CADD, and FAMMTH. The impact of the mutations on protein stability was predicted using Mupro, DUET, and I-Mutant software. Conservation analysis and protein 2D/3D structure analysis were used to predict the impact of mutations on protein function. The impact of the mutant proteins on subcellular localization was predicted using DeepLoc 2.1 software.
Results:
We identified two novel mutations in the muscle segment homeobox 1 (MSX1) gene: c.547C>A (p.Gln183Lys) and c.854T>C(p.Val285Ala) in the two families. Polyphen-2, CADD, and FATHMM predicted these mutations to be pathogenic, and ACMG classified these mutations as likely pathogenic. Conservation analysis showed that the two mutation sites (Gln183 and Val285) are located in highly conserved regions during evolution. Protein stability predictions indicated that these mutations influence protein stability. Protein 2D structure analysis indicated that these two mutations affect the 2D structure of the protein. 3D structure analysis showed that these two mutations can cause changes in the 3D structure. Software predictions indicated that these mutations do not affect the subcellular localization of the protein.
Conclusion
This study is the first to report two novel mutations in the MSX1 gene (c.547C>A and c.854T>C) associated with tooth agenesis, providing a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of congenital tooth loss.

6.Traumatic myocardial infarction, liver rupture and inferior vena cava thrombosis: a case report
World Journal of Emergency Medicine 2025;16(3):289-291
Severe trauma has high morbidity and mortality rates, being the leading cause of death in young adults. Among all traumas, traffic injuries are particularly lethal.[1-2] The injury severity score (ISS) can be used to assess trauma severity, with ISS of <9, 9-15, 16-24, and ≥25 indicating minor, moderate, severe, and critical trauma, respectively. The ISS is correlated with mortality, morbidity, and hospitalization duration after injury.[3-4] Here, we report one patient who was admitted to our emergency intensive care unit (EICU) due to traumatic liver rupture and traumatic myocardial infarction complicated with inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis.

[摘 要] 目的:探究长链非编码RNA葡萄糖醛酸酶β假基因11(GUSBP11)调节miR-339-5p/小鼠双分钟同源物2(MDM2)轴对胃癌细胞AGS增殖、迁移和侵袭的影响。方法:收集2023年12月至2024年6月期间在广州中医药大学附属佛山中医院手术治疗的25例胃癌患者的癌旁组织及癌组织。常规培养胃癌细胞AGS和正常胃黏膜上皮细胞GES-1,用转染试剂将对照质粒和敲减质粒转染AGS细胞,分为Ctrl组、sh-NC、sh-GUSBP11、sh-GUSBP11 + anti-NC、sh-GUSBP11 + anti-miR-339-5p。qPCR法检测胃癌组织及各组细胞中GUSBP11、miR-339-5p和MDM2 mRNA的表达;双萤光素酶报告基因实验检测GUSBP11或MDM2与miR-339-5p间的靶向关系;EdU法检、Transwell小室实验、划痕愈合实验和WB法分别检测各组AGS的增殖、迁移和侵袭能力和细胞中CDK1、MMP-2、MMP-9蛋白的表达;AGS细胞移植瘤实验检测敲减GUSBP11对移植瘤生长的影响。结果:胃癌组织和细胞中GUSBP11、MDM2 mRNA均呈高表达(均P < 0.05),miR-339-5p呈低表达(P < 0.05)。GUSBP11与miR-339-5p和MDM2与miR-339-5p间存在靶向关系。在AGS细胞中敲减GUSBP11可明显抑制MDM2蛋白、促进miR-339-5p的表达而抑制miR-339-5p则可促进MDM2蛋白表达。敲减GUSBP11可抑制AGS细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭能力而抑制miR-339-5p则可逆转此作用。敲减GUSBP11可明显抑制CDK1、MMP-2和MMP-9蛋白的表达而抑制miR-339-5p则可逆转此作用。敲减GUSBP11可明显抑制AGS细胞移植瘤的生长。结论:GUSBP11在胃癌组织和细胞中呈高表达,敲减GUSBP11表达可能通过调控miR-339-5p/MDM2轴抑制胃癌细胞的恶性生物学行为。

Objective To compare the mid- and long-term clinical results of mitral valve plasty (MVP) and mitral valve replacement (MVR) in the treatment of functional mitral regurgitation (FMR). Methods Patients with FMR who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from 2012 to 2021 were collected. The patients who underwent MVP were divided into a MVP group, and those who underwent MVR into a MVR group. The clinical data and mid-term follow-up efficacy of two groups were compared. Results Finally 236 patients were included. There were 100 patients in the MVP group, including 53 males and 47 females, with an average age of (61.80±8.03) years. There were 136 patients in the MVR group, including 72 males and 64 females, with an average age of (61.29±8.97) years. There was no statistical difference in baseline data between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in the extracorporeal circulation time, aortic occlusion time, postoperative hospital and ICU stay, intraoperative blood loss, or hospitalization death (P>0.05), but the time of mechanical ventilation in the MVP group was significantly shorter than that in the MVR group (P=0.022). The total follow-up rate was 100.0%, the longest follow-up was 10 years, and the average follow-up time was (3.60±2.55) years. There were statistical differences in the left atrial diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, left ventricular end-systolic diameter and cardiac function between the two groups compared with those before surgery (P<0.05). The postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction in the MVP group was statistically higher than that before surgery (P=0.002), but there was no statistical difference in the MVR group before and after surgery (P=0.658). The left atrial diameter in the MVP group was reduced compared with the MVR group (P=0.026). The recurrence rate of mitral regurgitation in the MVP group was higher than that in the MVR group, and the difference was statistically significant (10.0% vs. 1.5%, P=0.003). There were 14 deaths in the MVP group and 19 in the MVR group. The cumulative survival rate (P=0.605) and cardiovascular events-free survival rate (P=0.875) were not statistically significant between the two groups by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Conclusion The safety, and mid- and long-term clinical efficacy of MVP in the treatment of FMR patients are better than MVR, and the left atrial and left ventricular diameters are statistically reduced, and cardiac function is statistically improved. However, the surgeon needs to be well aware of the indications for the MVP procedure to reduce the rate of mitral regurgitation recurrence.

With the widespread adoption of low-dose CT screening and the extensive application of high-resolution CT, the detection rate of sub-centimeter lung nodules has significantly increased. How to scientifically manage these nodules while avoiding overtreatment and diagnostic delays has become an important clinical issue. Among them, lung nodules with a consolidation tumor ratio less than 0.25, dominated by ground-glass shadows, are particularly worthy of attention. The therapeutic challenge for this group is how to achieve precise and complete resection of nodules during surgery while maximizing the preservation of the patient39;s lung function. The "watershed topography map" is a new technology based on big data and artificial intelligence algorithms. This method uses Dicom data from conventional dose CT scans, combined with microscopic (22-24 levels) capillary network anatomical watershed features, to generate high-precision simulated natural segmentation planes of lung sub-segments through specific textures and forms. This technology forms fluorescent watershed boundaries on the lung surface, which highly fit the actual lung anatomical structure. By analyzing the adjacent relationship between the nodule and the watershed boundary, real-time, visually accurate positioning of the nodule can be achieved. This innovative technology provides a new solution for the intraoperative positioning and resection of lung nodules. This consensus was led by four major domestic societies, jointly with expert teams in related fields, oriented to clinical practical needs, referring to domestic and foreign guidelines and consensus, and finally formed after multiple rounds of consultation, discussion, and voting. The main content covers the theoretical basis of the "watershed topography map" technology, indications, operation procedures, surgical planning details, and postoperative evaluation standards, aiming to provide scientific guidance and exploration directions for clinical peers who are currently or plan to carry out lung nodule resection using the fluorescent microscope watershed analysis method.
