Recent research from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that breast cancer is the most prevalent malignant tumor among women, posing a significant threat to women's health. Surgery remains the primary therapeutic modality for breast cancer. Recently, endoscopic and robotic breast surgical techniques have gained acceptance among both surgeons and patients. However, considerable variation exists in surgical approaches and outcomes. To standardize these techniques, facilitate their broader clinical adoption, and ultimately improve patient care, the Endoscopic-robotic Breast Surgery Clinical Trials Consortium (ErBSCTC) of China has developed this guideline. This document encompasses the technologies and instrumentation utilized in endoscopic and robotic breast surgery, surgical techniques, perioperative management, complication handling, long-term follow-up, and oncologic outcomes, aiming to provide evidence-based guidance for healthcare professionals involved in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of breast diseases.

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor among women in China, with surgery being one of the primary treatment modalities. Endoscopic/robotic breast surgery (ErBS) is gaining widespread acceptance among patients and surgeons alike due to its advantages of minimal invasiveness, superior cosmetic outcomes, and accelerated recovery. However, substantial heterogeneity currently exists across China regarding patient selection, standardized operative techniques, perioperative management, and complication handling, underscoring the urgent need for evidence-based consensus guidelines. To promote standardization and ensure consistent quality of ErBS, the Chinese Endoscopic-Robotic Breast Surgery Clinical Trials Consortium (CErBSCTC) has systematically reviewed the latest high-quality evidence and formulated the "Protocol for China Endoscopic and Robotic Breast Surgery Guidelines (2026 edition)", which outlines a comprehensive methodology for guideline development.

The liver regenerative capacity is crucial for patients with end-stage liver disease following partial hepatectomy (PHx). The specific bacteria and mechanisms regulating liver regeneration post-PHx remain unclear. This study demonstrated dynamic changes in the abundance of Parabacteroides distasonis (P. distasonis) post-PHx, correlating with hepatocyte proliferation. Treatment with live P. distasonis significantly promoted hepatocyte proliferation and liver regeneration after PHx. Targeted metabolomics revealed a significant positive correlation between P. distasonis and β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB), as well as hyodeoxycholic acid and 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid in the gut after PHx. Notably, treatment with BHB, but not hyodeoxycholic acid or 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, significantly promoted hepatocyte proliferation and liver regeneration in mice after PHx. Moreover, STAT3 inhibitor Stattic attenuated the promotive effects of BHB on cell proliferation and liver regeneration both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, P. distasonis upregulated the expression of fatty acid oxidation-related proteins, and increased BHB levels in the liver, and then BHB activated the STAT3 signaling pathway to promote liver regeneration. This study, for the first time, identifies the involvement of P. distasonis and its associated metabolite BHB in promoting liver regeneration after PHx, providing new insights for considering P. distasonis and BHB as potential strategies for promoting hepatic regeneration.

This study aims to explore the mechanism of Shenling Baizhu San(SLBZS)in the treat-ment of ulcerative colitis(UC)based on systematic network pharmacology and in vivo experimen-tal verification.Systematic network pharmacology was used to predict the core targets and key pathways of the SLBZS in the treatment of UC,it was further validated in UC model of BALB/c mice which were established with DSS[3.5%(w/v)],and SLBZS was given orally for treatment at the same time.Network analysis of SLBZS identified 153 active compounds and 68 compound-re-lated targets correlated with UC.Additionally,5 core active compounds were obtained,such as rob-inin,luteolin,kaempferol,quercetin,denudatin B.Most of the compounds have proven to have phar-macological activities.Based on PPI network and pathway enrichment studies,SLBZS may exert anti-inflammatory,immunological regulation,and participate in the process of apoptosis through regulating IL6,TNF,IL1B,PTGS2,TP53,STAT3,CASP3,IL10,CXCL8,IL2,PPARG,PTPRC,IFNG,MTOR,MMP9,so as to affect cell differentiation,TNF signaling,cancer signaling,IL-17 signaling,NF-Kappa B signaling of Th17 cell.The results of in vivo animal experiments showed that SBP could significantly improve the clinical symptoms and colonic pathological changes of UC mice,regulate the abnormal changes of blood routine indexes,increase the serum inflammatory factors IL-4 and IL-10,and reduce the contents of IL-6,IL-2,IL-1β and TNF-α.These results indi-cates that SBP can treat ulcerative colitis through TNF signaling pathway and NF-Kappa B signa-ling pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of robot-assisted laparoscopic technology via abdominal approach for patients with primary retroperitoneal tumors.Methods:A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted for the clinical data of 71 patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic resection of primary retroperitoneal tumor via abdominal approach at the Department of Urology of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2015 to December 2023. There were 35 male and 36 female patients. The age ( M(IQR)) was 56(21) years (range: 21 to 83 years). The median tumor diameter was 46 (31) mm (range: 15 to 134 mm). Postoperative pathology revealed 58 benign and 13 malignant cases. Patients were divided into non-adherent group ( n=47) and adherent group ( n=24) based on whether the tumor was adhered to major organs or vessels. Perioperative and postoperative situation were compared between the two groups. Data comparisons were conducted using independent samples t-test for normally distributed continuous variables, Mann-Whitney U tests for non-normally distributed data, χ2 test or Fisher′s exact test for categorical variables. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was employed to estimate 3-year recurrence or metastasis rate and 3-year mortality rate. Results:Operative time was 120(60) minutes (range: 45 to 440 minutes), intraoperative blood loss was 50 (80) ml (range: 10 to 2 000 ml). The median change of intraoperative mean arterial pressure was 40 (19) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)(range: 10 to 112 mmHg). Intraoperative blood transfusion was required in 7 cases, whereas 64 cases did not necessitate transfusion. The change in hemoglobin levels before and after surgery was (17.9±13.6) g/L (range:-16 to 53 g/L), and the median change in serum creatinine levels was 2.0 (14.5) μmol/L (range:-71.0 to 100.4 μmol/L). Postoperative fasting duration was 2.0 (1.5) days (range: 1 to 6 days), and the median hospital stay was 10.0 (7.5) days (range: 4 to 24 days). No perioperative mortality occurred in any of the patients. The non-adherent group had shorter operation time, less estimated blood loss, lower blood transfusion rate, smaller delta value of hemoglobin before and after surgery, larger delta value of creatinine before and after surgery, fewer postoperative complications, shorter postoperative fasting time, and shorter length of hospital stay than the adherent group(all P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in mean arterial pressure fluctuation between the two groups ( P>0.05). Follow-up data were available for 69 patients, with a median follow-up duration of 39 (43) months (range: 4 to 88 months). Among these patients, 40 completed the 3-year follow-up. The 3-year recurrence or metastasis rate was 10.14%, and the 3-year mortality rate was 2.90%. Conclusions:Robot-assisted laparoscopic technology via abdominal approach for resection of primary retroperitoneal tumors is safe and feasible. It can also achieve secure surgical outcome for primary retroperitoneal tumors adherent to surrounding organs or vessels, albeit with increased surgical complexity and slower postoperative recovery compared to non-adherent cases.

Objective To investigate the correlation between peripheral blood CD14+CD16+monocytes and IgG N-glycosyl levels and disease activity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).Methods A total of 109 SLE patients admitted to Xingtai Cental Hospital from August 2021 to November 2024 were retrospectively selected as the study objects.According to SLE disease activity index(SLE-DAI),the patients were divided into active group(n=52)and stable group(n=57).In addition,56 patients who underwent physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group.Clinical data of patients were collected,CD14+CD16+mononuclear cells were detected by flow cytometry(FCM),and IgG N-glycosyl levels were detected by hydrophilic interaction chromatography-mass spectrometry.Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the influencing factors of SLE-DAI,and multicollinearity test[variance inflation factor(VIF)]was performed for independent variables.The prediction model of disease activity was constructed.The effectiveness of the predictive model was evaluated by describing the recviver operator characteristic(ROC)curve and calculating the area under the curve(AUC)value.Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test predicted the calibration degree of the model.Results The levels of WBC,Hb,PLT,ALB,complement C3 and complement C4 in control group were higher than those in SLE group(t=8.917~22.171),and the levels of CRP were lower than those in SLE group(t=-17.359),with differences were statistical significance(all P<0.05).The CRP level and the proportion of CD14+CD16+mononuclear cells in the active group were higher than those in the stable group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=5.449,11.112,all P<0.05).The IgG glycosylation characteristics of galactosylation,sialylation and N-acetylglucosamine modification were lower than those in the stable group,and the differences were statistical significance(Z=-2.432~-0.158,all P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the proportion of CD14+CD16+monocytes was significantly negatively correlated with IgG galactosylation,sialylation level and bisection N-acetylglucosamine modification(r=-0.656,-0.531,-0.608,all P<0.01).CD14+CD16+monocyte ratio was positively correlated with SLE-DIA(r=0.581,all P<0.01).IgG galactosylation,sialylation levels and bisection N-acetylglucosamine modification were negatively correlated with SLE-DIA(r=-0.645,-0.609,-0.503,all P<0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that CRP>8.21mg/L,CD14+CD16+≥16.17%,sialylation<22.05%and isotropic N-acetylglucosamine modification<16.53%were independent risk factors for disease activity in SLE patients(Wald χ2=4.471~12.811,all P<0.05).The VIF values of the above independent variables were all less than 10.By establishing the Logistic regression prediction model and drawing the ROC curve,the AUC value for diagnosing SLE disease activity was 0.821(95%CI:0.733~0.905),the sensitivity,specificity and the Yodon index were 85.37%,75.67%,0.677,respectively.and the P values of Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test models were 0.568,respectively.Conclusion The proportion of CD14+CD16+monocytes in peripheral blood of SLE patients increase significantly,and the level of IgG glycosylation characteristics decrease,both of which are correlated with SLE-DIA.The predictive model constructed based on the two had a good ability to distinguish SLE-DIA from inactive state,with high sensitivity and moderate specificity conducive to early clinical recognition,and the model fitting effect is good.SLE-DIA can be evaluated more accurately.
