[摘 要] 目的：通过多组学整合分析，解析肠道菌群在胆管癌（CCA）发生发展中的潜在作用机制并识别相关关键基因。方法：基于SRA数据库的16S rRNA测序数据，比较CCA患者与健康对照者的肠道菌群组成；采用孟德尔随机化（MR）分析评估菌群与CCA风险的遗传关联。通过gutMGene和GeneCards数据库获取相关代谢物与基因，进行代谢和功能富集分析。整合GEO单细胞转录组数据（GSE213452），解析肿瘤微环境的细胞组成，重点关注T细胞亚群及其功能状态，并结合TCGA-CHOL数据集验证关键候选基因的表达差异。结果：与健康对照组相比，CCA患者肠道菌群组成发生显著改变，变形菌门下菌群异常富集（LDA > 4）。MR分析进一步证实，肠杆菌目与肠杆菌科的遗传易感性均与CCA风险呈正向关联。代谢通路富集分析提示，菌群相关代谢物主要参与嘌呤代谢及糖酵解/糖异生等通路；功能富集分析显示，相关基因显著富集于NOD样受体、IL-17、Toll样受体及NF-κB信号通路等炎症免疫通路。单细胞转录组分析结果显示，CCA组织中肿瘤细胞比例显著升高（P < 0.05），T细胞比例由20.7%增至39.2%；拟时序分析结果表明，MKI67⁺ T细胞处于分化末期并呈高增殖特征，其差异基因与菌群相关基因存在交集，其中SERPINA1和IFNG表达在肿瘤免疫微环境中显著变化（P < 0.001），可能发挥核心调控作用。TCGA-CHOL数据集验证显示，SERPINA1在CCA肿瘤组织中显著下调（P < 0.001），而IFNG在肿瘤与正常组织间无显著差异（P > 0.05）。结论：肠道菌群失衡（尤其是肠杆菌科异常增殖）可能通过代谢-免疫调控网络促进CCA进展，T细胞功能变化与关键基因（SERPINA1和IFNG）在MKI67+ T细胞中的差异化表达模式密切相关。

ObjectiveTo investigate the pathogenic spectrum and epidemiological characteristics of diarrheal disease in Fengxian District of Shanghai, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of diarrheal diseases. MethodsBasic information of the initial adult cases visited diarrheal disease surveillance sentinel hospital in Fengxian District, Shanghai, was collected from August 2013 to 2023, and fecal samples were collected at 1∶5 sampling intervals to isolate and identify 5 kinds of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC), Salmonella (SAL), Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Campylobacter, Vibrio cholerae, Shigella and Yersinia enterocolitica (YE). Simultaneously, nucleic acid detection was performed for 3 kinds of rotavirus, 2 kinds of norovirus, intestinal adenovirus, astrovirus and sapovirus. ResultsA total of 1 861 cases of newly diagnosed diarrheal disease were reported, with the peak in July to August. Additionally, 704 surveillance samples were detected, with a total positive detection rate of 50.57%. The detection rates of bacterial, viral and mixed infection were 25.14%, 21.02% and 4.40%, respectively. Among the pathogens detected, DEC accounted for the highest (17.61%, 124/704), followed by norovirus (16.48%, 116/704), rotavirus (6.39%, 45/704), SAL (5.97%, 42/704) and Campylobacter (3.84%, 27/704). DEC detected were mainly enteroaggregative Escherichia coli and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, with no detection of Vibrio cholerae, Shigella and YE. The highest total pathogen detection rate was observed from June to September, and the detection peaks of norovirus were from March to June and from October to December, whereas that of DEC was from June to October. The detection rate of rotavirus peaked from January to February, but which was not detected between 2020‒2023. The SAL positive rate peak was in September, whereas that of Campylobacter was from July to September. ConclusionThe main pathogens detected in Fengxian District from 2013‒2019 are DEC, norovirus, rotavirus, SAL and Campylobacter. Different pathogens have different detection peaks, with bacteria predominating in summer and viruses in winter and spring. Prevention and control measures should be carried out according to the epidemiological characteristics of different seasons.

Objective To explore the characteristics of gastric emptying in the whole process of drinking water for colonoscopy in the elderly,and to develop an elderly-friendly drinking water program,thereby improving the comfort and the quality of bowel preparation.Methods From April to September 2024,gastric ultrasound was used to monitor gastric emptying indicators in the whole process of drinking water for colonoscopy in the elderly,summa-rizing its physiological features.On this basis,in October 2024,through literature review and expert argumentation,a bowel preparation drinking water program that meets the characteristics of gastric emptying in the elderly was de-veloped.A convenience sample of 90 elderly patients scheduled for colonoscopy at 2 tertiary hospitals in Beijing was enrolled from November 2024 to January 2025.A non-concurrent controlled trial was conducted:an experimen-tal group from December 2024 to January 2025 received the new elderly-friendly drinking water program,while a control group in November 2024 followed the conventional program.Outcomes included drinking comfort assessed via Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),adverse events,total fluid intake volume and bowel preparation quality via Boston Bowel Preparation Scale(BBPS).Results The experimental group demonstrated superior VAS score(P＜0.05),bowel preparation quality(P＜0.05),total fluid intake(P＜0.05),and higher compliance with optimal stool consistency(P＜0.05),compared to the control group.The experimental group also exhibited a lower incidence of adverse events(P＜0.05).No significant difference was observed in total bowel preparation duration between 2 groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The bowel preparation drinking water program based on the characteristics of gastric emptying in the elderly improved solution intake tolerance and bowel preparation quality,with practical implications for clinical implementation.

BACKGROUND:Much of the current research on M2 macrophage-derived exosomes focuses on their effects on wound healing and osteoblast proliferation and differentiation,while few studies have focused on their role in regulating microglia phenotype.OBJECTIVE:To discuss the role and molecular mechanisms of M2 macrophage-derived exosomes in the phenotypic regulation of microglia.MERHODS:(1)Bone marrow primary macrophages were extracted and then stimulated with 50 ng/mL interleukin 4 for 24 hours to promote macrophage M2-type polarization.Flow cytometry and cellular immunofluorescence were used to identify the M2-type macrophage marker CD206.(2)M2 macrophage-derived exosomes were extracted and identified.(3)Microglia BV2 were randomly divided into three groups:control group,lipopolysaccharide group,and treatment group.No treatment was done in the control group.500 ng/mL lipopolysaccharide was added to the intervention for 24 hours in the lipopolysaccharide group.500 ng/mL lipopolysaccharide and 25 μg/mL M2 macrophage-derived exosomes were added simultaneously to the treatment group for 24 hours.ELISA was performed to detect the secretion of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 10 in the culture supernatant.qRT-PCR was performed to detect the mRNA expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase,arginase 1,interleukin 1β,and interleukin 10 in the cells.Western blot assay was performed to detect the protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase,arginase 1,and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway related protein expression.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)ELISA results showed that the secretion of tumor necrosis factor α was significantly increased in the lipopolysaccharide group compared with the control group.The secretion of tumor necrosis factor α was reduced and the secretion of interleukin 10 was increased in the treatment group compared with the lipopolysaccharide group.(2)The qRT-PCR results showed that compared with the control group,the mRNA expression of interleukin 1β and inducible nitric oxide synthase increased in the lipopolysaccharide group.Compared with the lipopolysaccharide group,the mRNA expression of interleukin 1β and inducible nitric oxide synthase decreased,and the mRNA expression of interleukin 10 and arginase 1 increased in the treatment group.(3)Western blot assay results showed that the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase protein was increased in the lipopolysaccharide group compared with the control group.The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase protein was decreased and the expression of arginase 1 protein was elevated in the treatment group compared with the lipopolysaccharide group.(4)Compared with the control group,the expression of p65 and p-IκB-α proteins in the nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway was reduced in the lipopolysaccharide group,whereas the expression of p65 and p-IκB-α proteins was elevated in the treatment group compared with the lipopolysaccharide group.The results showed that M2-type macrophage-derived exosomes could significantly inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory responses in microglia,enhance the expression of the anti-inflammatory factor interleukin 10,suppress the expression of the pro-inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 1β,and promote microglial cell phenotypes polarized from the M1-type to the M2-type.The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway activation by M2-type macrophage-derived exosomes.

Objective:To explore the surgical efficacy of cervical cerclage with cervical length (CL) <10 mm and emergency cerclage.Methods:From January 2013 to June 2022, a total of 98 singleton pregnant women who underwent ultrasound-indicated cervical cerclage because of CL<10 mm in the second trimester and underwent emergency cervical cerclage because of cervical dilation found by physical examination in Peking University First Hospital were enrolled. The differences in clinical data between the <34 weeks delivery group (25 cases) and the ≥34 weeks delivery group (73 cases) were compared. Meanwhile, according to different cervical status, they were divided into CL<10 mm group (43 cases) and cervical dilatation group (55 cases), and the cervical dilatation group was further divided into cervical dilatation <4 cm group and cervical dilatation ≥4 cm group. The clinical data and pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women with different cervical status were compared.Results:(1) There were significant differences in the proportion of preoperative CL<10 mm and the degree of preoperative cervical dilation between the <34 weeks delivery group and the ≥34 weeks delivery group (all P<0.05). (2) After cervical cerclage, compared with women in the cervical dilatation group, the prolonged gestational age in the CL<10 mm group was longer [(10.5±4.6) vs (14.3±3.4) weeks], the gestational age at delivery was later (median: 35.7 vs 38.0 weeks), the preterm birth rates before 37 and 34 weeks were lower, the late abortion rate was lower [9% (5/55) vs 0 (0/43)], and the newborn birth weight was higher, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (3) Compared with the cervical dilation ≥4 cm group, the prolonged gestational age of the cervical dilatation <4 cm group was longer [(7.5±5.3) vs (11.1±4.2) weeks], the gestational age at delivery was later (median: 29.2 vs 36.0 weeks), and the birth weight of the newborn was higher (all P<0.05). The late abortion rate of cervical dilatation <4 cm group was lower than that of cervical dilatation ≥4 cm group [7% (3/45) vs 2/10; P=0.220]. Conclusions:Timely cervical cerclage in individuals with CL<10 mm could reduce preterm birth rate before 34 weeks gestation, and the pregnancy outcome is better than that of individuals with cervical dilation. Moreover, the pregnancy outcome of cervical cerclage in women with cervical dilation <4 cm is significantly better than that in women with cervical dilatation ≥4 cm.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in combination with tadalafil in patients with thin endometrium undergoing artificial cycle frozen-thawed embryo transfer(FET).Methods A prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted involving sixty patients with thin endo-metrium who underwent artificial cycle FET at the Reproductive Center of Qinhuangdao First Hospital between January 2021 and October 2023.The patients were randomly assigned to two groups:the control group(n=30)received tadalafil,while the study group(n=30)received granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in addition to tadalafil.Endometrial ultrasound characteristics,uterine artery blood flow parameters,and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results Before treatment,no significant differ-ences were observed between the research group and the control group in terms of endometrial thickness or endome-trial volume(P>0.05).Ultrasound assessments were repeated after 8 and 14 days of treatment.Compared with baseline measurements,both endometrial thickness and volume exhibited significant increases in both groups(all P<0.05).By day 14 post-treatment,the research group demonstrated significantly greater endometrial thickness and volume compared to the control group(P<0.05).With regard to endometrial patterns,no significant differences were noted between the two groups prior to treatment(P>0.05).After 14 days of treatment,the proportion of patients exhibiting a Type A endometrial pattern in the research group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Prior to treatment,no statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of pulsatility index(PI),resistance index(RI),systolic/diastolic ratio(S/D),vascularization index(VI),flow index(FI),or Vascularization Flow Index(VFI)(all P>0.05).Following 14 days of treatment,both groups showed significant increases in VI,FI,and VFI compared to baseline values(all P<0.05),along with significant reductions in PI,RI,and S/D(all P<0.05).At 14 days post-treatment,the S/D ratio in the research group was significantly lower compared to the control group,while the VFI was significantly higher(P<0.05).However,statistical analysis showed no significant differences between the two groups in terms of embryo implanta-tion rate,clinical pregnancy rate,early miscarriage rate,and live birth rate(P>0.05).Conclusion For patients with thin endometrium undergoing FET,the combination of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and tadalafil is more effective than tadalafil alone in improving endometrial receptivity and uterine blood perfusion.

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a group of autoimmune bullous diseases characterized by life-threatening intradermal blisters. Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) is a kind of autoimmune disease with abnormal increase of thyroid peroxidase autoantibody (TPOAb), which is the thyroid specific antibody, leading to hypothyroidism. In recent years, the probability of HT in patients with PV is increasing, and the co-disease may be related to the effect of TPOAb autoantibody on oral keratinocytes. This article reviews the epidemiological relationship between PV and HT and the mechanism of TPOAb in their co-disease, in order to provide ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of both.

BACKGROUND:In previous studies,the equivalent structure of three-dimensional cell reconstruction of tissue engineering oral mucosa is similar to normal oral mucosa,including epithelial-like structure,lamina propria-like structure,and vascular lumen-like structure,and has initially achieved the establishment of vascular equivalent,but its vascularization characteristics are not very clear.OBJECTIVE:Vascular-like structures of vascularized oral mucosa equivalent were obtained by targeting vascular endothelial cells specific marker expression profiles correlated with laser capture microdissection system,and their vascularization ability was evaluated to reveal their vascularization characteristics.METHODS:Human gingival epithelial cells were cultured from human gingival epithelium and human gingival fibroblasts,human gingival mesenchymal stem cells were cultured from human gingival lamina propria.Human gingival mesenchymal stem cells were induced to differentiate into vascular endothelial-like cells after monoclonal expansion culture.Human gingival epithelial cells,human gingival fibroblasts,and vascular endothelial-like cells were loaded with acellular vascular matrix-0.25%human-like collagen type Ⅰ scaffold to construct the vascularized oral mucosa equivalent.The layered structure of oral mucosa equivalent(experimental group)and the acellular vascular matrix-0.25%human-like collagen type Ⅰ scaffold(control group)were implanted subcutaneously into the back of nude mice,respectively.14 days later,the incision surface of the two groups was coated with biogel.The biogel surface of the experimental group was inoculated with human gingival epithelial cells,while the control group was not inoculated with cells.The samples were collected after 14 days of feeding.The layered structure of oral mucosa equivalent was observed by morphology.The neovascular-like structures in oral mucosa equivalents were labeled by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence with a more comprehensive expression profile of vascular endothelial cells,and the vascularization characteristics were analyzed.A laser capture microdissection system was used to capture the neovascularization structures in the oral mucosa equivalents specifically labeled by immunohistochemistry and analyze their vascularization characteristics.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The morphology showed that the cell level of oral mucosa equivalent was clear,and the structure was similar to that of normal oral mucosa,that is,there were epithelioid structures,lamina-like structures,and vascular cavelike structures,and there were scattered erythrocytes in the vascular cavelike structures.(2)The results of EdU Apollo tracer seed cells in the oral mucosa equivalent group showed that human gingival epithelial cells labeled with EdU Apollo 488 showed green fluorescence expression.DAPI labeled human gingival fibroblasts showed blue fluorescence expression and formed lamina-like structures in vivo.EdU Apollo 567 labeled vascular endothelial-like cells showed red fluorescence expression and formed a vascular-like structure in vivo.(3)Vascular endothelial cell specific marker expression profile immunofluorescence labeling of vascular structure showed that compared with normal oral mucosa,the expressions of CD31,CD51,CD54,CD105,Tie-2,VWF,vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1,and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 in oral mucosa equivalents were increased(P<0.000 1).There were no significant changes in CD34 expression(P>0.05).(4)Compared with the specifically labeled oral mucosal vascular structures,the expression levels of CD51,CD54,CD105,Tie-2,VWF,vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1,and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 of the oral mucosa equivalents targeted by the laser capture microdissection system were increased(P<0.000 1).There were no significant changes in expression of CD31 and CD34(P>0.05).(5)The results showed that the oral mucosa equivalent reconstructed by three-dimensional cell stratification could achieve good vascularization,and its vascularization characteristics were consistent with the immunological function and characteristics of neovascularization.Vascularization helps three-dimensional cell layer reconstruction of oral mucosa equivalent regeneration.

Objective:To develop the Discharge Readiness Scale for Patients with Chronic Skin Wounds and evaluate its reliability and validity.Methods:The Discharge Readiness Scale for Patients with Chronic Skin Wounds was developed through literature review, semi-structured interviews, Delphi expert consultation, and a pre-survey. Convenience sampling was employed to select 320 patients with chronic skin wounds hospitalized at Chongming Hospital, Shanghai University of Medicine and Health Sciences and Qingdao Municipal Hospital from June 2023 to December 2024 for formal investigation, conducting scale reliability and validity analysis. The critical ratio method and correlation coefficient method were used for project analysis. Content validity of the scale was assessed using item-level content validity index and average scale-level content validity index, and construct validity was evaluated through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability analysis employed Cronbach's α coefficient.Results:A total of 320 questionnaires were distributed, and 304 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 95.0%. The average scale-level content validity index was 0.91, and the item-level content validity index ranged from 0.80 to 1.00. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the cumulative variance contribution rate of the five common factors was 67.483%. The overall Cronbach's α coefficient for the scale was 0.831. The final constructed scale comprised five dimensions of trajectory stage cognition, wound self-care skills, symptom management, psychosocial adaptation, and health information acquisition and resource utilization, with a total of 26 items.Conclusions:The Discharge Readiness Scale for Patients with Chronic Skin Wounds demonstrates good reliability and validity, providing clinical healthcare professionals with a standardized assessment tool.
