Objective:To observe the effects of auricular point compression and exercise therapy on glycolipid metabolism,oxidative stress and sleep quality in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients with poor glycemic control.Methods:This study was a single-center randomized controlled study,86 T2DM patients with poor glycemic control who were treated in our hospital from June 2022 to June 2024 were divided into control group(received conventional treatment,n=43)and observation group(received auricular point compression and exercise therapy,n=43)by using the random number table method.The clinical efficacy,blood lipid indexes,blood glucose indexes,oxidative stress indexes and sleep quality were compared between the two groups.Results:The total clinical effective rate,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),superoxide dismutase(SOD)and Glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)of the observation group after treatment were higher than those of the control group,and the fasting blood glucose(FBG),glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance(HOMA-IR),total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),triglycerides(TG),reactive oxygen species(ROS),malondialdehyde(MDA)and Pittsburgh sleep Quality Index(PSQI)score were lower than those of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Auricular point compression and exercise therapy can regulate glycolipid metabolism in T2DM patients with poor glycemic control,improve the degree of oxidative stress and sleep quality.

CRM 197(cross-reacting material 197),a naturally occurring mutant of diphtheria toxin,is a safe and effective vaccine vector and extensively used on developing conjugate or combined vaccines.The mutant loses its enzymatic activity,but fully retains its receptor-binding ability and immunogenicity.In current work,the diphtheria toxin mutant CRM 197 and its fusion proteins with the receptor-binding do-main of botulinum neurotoxin serotype E(EHc)were developed using genetic engineering technology.These recombinant proteins were confirmed by Western blotting and SDS-PAGE.BALB/c mice were im-munized with the CRM197-EHc and EHc-CRM197 fusion proteins,and their immunogenicity was evalua-ted.These two fusion protein molecules,CRM197-EHc and EHc-CRM197,as subunit vaccines,elicited a robust humoral immune response targeting both CRM197 and EHc antigens in the immunized mice.Compared to the mixture of CRM197 and EHc,the mice vaccinated with the fusion proteins(CRM197-EHc and EHc-CRM197)induced higher levels of anti-CRM197 antibodies,and the mice vaccinated with EHc-CRM197 also generated strongest anti-EHc antibodies.Consequently,as a carrier molecule in the fusion protein vaccine,EHc enhances the immunogenicity of CRM197 molecules.Likewise,CRM197 boosts the immunogenicity of EHc in the EHc-CRM197 fusion protein.

Objective:To investigate the use of apolipoprotein B (ApoB) diagnostic algorithm for hyperlipidemia typing combined with whole exome sequencing in the precise diagnosis of familial hyperlipidemia.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted by collecting clinical information on all patients who attended our hospital, and had their lipid levels tested from January 2023 to May 2024, including 440 patients with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)>4.10 mmol/L. Family history, current lipid levels, medication use, and comorbidities were collected by telephone follow-ups. Among them, 10 patients had a family history of hyperlipidemia. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from patients with a family history of hyperlipidemia, and whole exome sequencing was performed.Results:According to the Fredrickson typing of WHO, 10 patients (P1 to P10) could be categorized into two groups, of which only type Ⅱa could be excluded in 6 cases, and the typing could not be determined in 4 cases. The ApoB diagnostic algorithm of hyperlipidemia typing could classify patients P1 and P2 as type Ⅱa, patients P3 to P7, P9 and P10 as type Ⅱb, and patient P8 as type Ⅴ, respectively. Whole exome sequencing detected mutations in LDLR, PCSK9, C5AR2, KIF12, ALMS1, ABCG5, COL4A3, and MTTP genes.Conclusion:The ApoB diagnostic algorithm for hyperlipidemia can be used for accurate typing of hyperlipidemia, and ApoB could be recommended as a routine lipid testing parameter. The ApoB diagnostic algorithm for hyperlipidemia combined with whole exome sequencing could be used for the accurate typing of patients with familial hyperlipidemia and defining the underlying gene mutations.

Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPD) poses a high risk of intraoperative bleeding due to the complex anatomy and rich blood supply in the pancreatic head region. This paper innovatively proposes a blood flow control technique system for LPD, adopting a strategy of “priority devascularization and pre-blocking”.By first addressing the peripheral collateral blood supply and the gastroduodenal artery, and then performing dual-system pre-blocking, the dorsal pancreatic artery and the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery are treated in situ through a combined middle and left posterior approach. This progressive blood flow control method enhances surgical safety and oncological radicality, offering a new paradigm for the development of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery.

Purpose To explore the clinicopathological and molecular genetic features of phytosterolemia(PTSL)with necrobiotic xanthogranuloma.Methods 4 cases of PTSL with necrobiotic xanthogranuloma as the primary mani-festation were reviewed.Gene mutations were detected by whole-exome sequencing and screened and verified by Sanger sequencing.The clinical manifestations,laboratory tests,genetic testing results,treatment and prognoses of the pa-tients were analyzed.Results All 4 patients developed subcutaneous masses on the face over a period of 3-13 years.Case 4 showed weakness of both lower limbs and an intracranial mass on MRI.Blood smear analysis revealed that the patients had platelets of varying sizes and were generally large,with increased stomatocytes.Total cholesterol(6.9-11.36 mmol/L)and low-density lipoprotein(4.45-7.08 mmol/L)were elevated in 4 patients.Genetic analysis re-vealed that cases 2 and 4 carried heterozygous mutations in the ABCG5 gene,and case 3 had a homozygous mutation in the ABCG8 gene.Conclusion Thrombocytopenia,stomatocytosis and splenomegaly are the special clinical manifesta-tions of patients with PTSL,and necrobiotic xanthogranuloma may be one of the late manifestations of the disease.Early genetic testing plays a critical role in the timely diagnosis and management of PTSL.
