Tumor drug resistance is an important problem in the failure of chemotherapy and targeted drug therapy, which is a complex process involving chromatin remodeling. SWI/SNF is one of the most studied ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes in tumorigenesis, which plays an important role in the coordination of chromatin structural stability, gene expression, and post-translation modification. However, its mechanism in tumor drug resistance has not been systematically combed. SWI/SNF can be divided into 3 types according to its subunit composition: BAF, PBAF, and ncBAF. These 3 subtypes all contain two mutually exclusive ATPase catalytic subunits (SMARCA2 or SMARCA4), core subunits (SMARCC1 and SMARCD1), and regulatory subunits (ARID1A, PBRM1, and ACTB, etc.), which can control gene expression by regulating chromatin structure. The change of SWI/SNF complex subunits is one of the important factors of tumor drug resistance and progress. SMARCA4 and ARID1A are the most widely studied subunits in tumor drug resistance. Low expression of SMARCA4 can lead to the deletion of the transcription inhibitor of the BCL2L1 gene in mantle cell lymphoma, which will result in transcription up-regulation and significant resistance to the combination therapy of ibrutinib and venetoclax. Low expression of SMARCA4 and high expression of SMARCA2 can activate the FGFR1-pERK1/2 signaling pathway in ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma cells, which induces the overexpression of anti-apoptosis gene BCL2 and results in carboplatin resistance. SMARCA4 deletion can up-regulate epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by activating YAP1 gene expression in triple-negative breast cancer. It can also reduce the expression of Ca²⁺ channel IP3R3 in ovarian and lung cancer, resulting in the transfer of Ca²⁺ needed to induce apoptosis from endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria damage. Thus, these two tumors are resistant to cisplatin. It has been found that verteporfin can overcome the drug resistance induced by SMARCA4 deletion. However, this inhibitor has not been applied in clinical practice. Therefore, it is a promising research direction to develop SWI/SNF ATPase targeted drugs with high oral bioavailability to treat patients with tumor resistance induced by low expression or deletion of SMARCA4. ARID1A deletion can activate the expression of ANXA1 protein in HER2+ breast cancer cells or down-regulate the expression of progesterone receptor B protein in endometrial cancer cells. The drug resistance of these two tumor cells to trastuzumab or progesterone is induced by activating AKT pathway. ARID1A deletion in ovarian cancer can increase the expression of MRP2 protein and make it resistant to carboplatin and paclitaxel. ARID1A deletion also can up-regulate the phosphorylation levels of EGFR, ErbB2, and RAF1 oncogene proteins.The ErbB and VEGF pathway are activated and EMT is increased. As a result, lung adenocarcinoma is resistant to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). Although great progress has been made in the research on the mechanism of SWI/SNF complex inducing tumor drug resistance, most of the research is still at the protein level. It is necessary to comprehensively and deeply explore the detailed mechanism of drug resistance from gene, transcription, protein, and metabolite levels by using multi-omics techniques, which can provide sufficient theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of poor tumor prognosis caused by mutation or abnormal expression of SWI/SNF subunits in clinical practice.

BACKGROUND:Currently,spinal endoscopic technology has become the mainstream technology in minimally invasive spinal surgery.The specifications of the instruments for different operating systems are different,and the choice of specific surgical protocols needs to be combined with the actual situation of the patient and the choice of the clinical surgeon. OBJECTIVE:To compare the early efficacy of percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy for L5-S1 disc herniation under the iLESSYS Delta System and Endo-Surgi Plus System. METHODS:Totally 80 patients with L5-S1 disc herniation were treated with percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy.Patients were divided into two groups based on the endoscopic system used.Among them,37 cases received the iLESSYS Delta System(Delta group)and 43 cases received the Endo-Surgi Plus System(Plus group).Patient demographic characteristics,perioperative indicators,and complications were analyzed between the two groups.Clinical outcomes were quantified using back and leg visual analog scale scores,Oswestry Disability Index,and Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores at 1 day,1,3,and 6 months after surgery.Patient satisfaction was assessed according to modified MacNab criteria at final follow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The operative time and number of arthroplasties in the Plus group were less than those in the Delta group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)Compared with the preoperative period,the visual analog scale scores,Oswestry Disability Index,and Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores of patients in both groups improved at all follow-up time points,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001).(3)There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of pain visual analog scale scores,Oswestry Disability Index,and Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores of patients in the two groups(P>0.05).(4)At 6-month follow-up after surgery,the MacNab standard excellent and good rates in the Delta group and Plus group were 81%and 79%,respectively,with no significant difference(P=0.823).(5)The incidence of complications was 3%in the Delta group and 2%in the Plus group,but there was no significant difference between the two groups(P=0.914).(6)It is concluded that both iLESSYS Delta and Endo-Surgi Plus surgical systems achieved satisfactory early clinical results in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation,with Endo-Surgi Plus surgical moulding being more efficient and safer.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors associated with the development of venous thromboembolism with abdominal infection following pancreatic cancer surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 70 patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from March 2020 to August 2024, of which 31 were male and 39 were female, aged (58.5±6.8) years. Two groups were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of venous thromboembolism with abdominal infection in the postoperative period: the complication group ( n=28) and the non-complication group ( n=42). The general data, laboratory indexes and surgery-related indexes of the two groups were recorded, and logistic regression model was used to analyse the risk factors for the occurrence of venous thromboembolism with abdominal cavity infection after pancreaticoduodenectomy, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the predictive value of the factors for the occurrence of venous thromboembolism with abdominal cavity infection after pancreatic cancer surgery. Results:Multifactorial analysis showed that the combination of diabetes mellitus ( OR=1.216, 95% CI: 1.225-1.657, P=0.035), occurrence of postoperative pancreatic fistula ( OR=1.292, 95% CI: 1.095-1.829, P=0.022), occurrence of postoperative biliary fistula ( OR=1.239, 95% CI: 1.171-2.618, P=0.005), high D-dimer ( OR=137.030, 95% CI: 3.214-5 843.128, P=0.010), prolonged operation time ( OR=1.058, 95% CI: 1.002-1.117, P=0.042), and low serum albumin ( OR=0.711, 95% CI: 0.508-0.995, P=0.046) in pancreatic cancer patients with a high risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism with the development of abdominal infection. ROC curve analysis showed that diabetes mellitus, pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, D-dimer, duration of surgery, serum albumin, and co-prediction had certain predictive value for the occurrence of postoperative venous thromboembolism with abdominal infection after pancreatic cancer surgery, in which, the area under the curve for co-prediction in assessing the occurrence of postoperative venous thromboembolism with abdominal infection after pancreatic cancer surgery was 0.993 (95% CI: 0.982-1.000), with a sensitivity of 1.000 and a specificity of 0.929. Conclusion:Comorbid diabetes mellitus, pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, D-dimer, prolonged duration of surgery, and serum albumin are independent risk factors for the development of postoperative venous thromboembolism with abdominal infection in patients with pancreatic cancer, all of which have diagnostic value and a high joint predictive value. The predictive value of co-prediction is relatively high.

Objective:To analyze the therapeutic effect of ganglioside combined with hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of cerebral hemorrhage. To investigate the effects of ganglioside combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy on serum inflammatory factors and neural injury markers in patients.Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted involving 98 patients with cerebral hemorrhage treated at Bayannur Hospital from January 2022 to January 2024. The patients were randomly assigned to either a control group or a combination group, with 49 cases in each group, using a random number table method. All patients received routine treatment. The control group received hyperbaric oxygen therapy, while the combination group received both hyperbaric oxygen therapy and ganglioside therapy. Both groups were treated for 20 days. The volume of cerebral edema, levels of serum inflammatory factors, and neural injury markers were compared between the two groups before and after treatment, and the efficacy of both groups was evaluated.Results:After treatment, the brain edema volume in the combination group [(12.31 ± 1.31) cm3]was significantly lower than that in the control group [(15.36 ± 1.62) cm3, t = 10.25, P < 0.05]. The Glasgow Coma Scale score in the combination group [(13.64 ± 1.37) points] was significantly higher than that in the control group [(11.42 ± 1.24) points, t = -8.41, P < 0.05]. The serum levels of interleukin-1β and interleukin-8 in the combination group were (5.48 ± 0.56) ng/L and (12.29 ± 1.33) ng/L, respectively, both of which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(6.42 ± 0.67) ng/L, (16.85 ± 1.71) ng/L, t = 7.54, 14.74, both P < 0.05]. The levels of soluble protein-100β (S100β) and high mobility group protein-1 in the combination group were (0.62 ± 0.07) μg/L and (4.17 ± 0.42) μg/L, respectively, both of which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(0.81 ± 0.09) μg/L, (5.59 ± 0.56) μg/L, t = 11.67, 14.20, both P < 0.05]. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score in the combination group [(11.47 ± 1.23) points]was significantly lower than that in the control group [(15.31 ± 1.62) points, t = 13.22, P < 0.05]. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Motor Recovery after Stroke score in the combination group [(63.58 ± 6.48) points] was significantly higher than that in the control group [(54.64 ± 5.71) points, t = -7.25, P < 0.05]. The total response rate in the combination group was 91.84% (45/49), which was significantly higher than that in the control group [73.47% (36/49), χ2 = 5.76, P < 0.05]. Conclusions:The use of gangliosides in combination with hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of cerebral hemorrhage can effectively reduce cerebral edema, lessen inflammatory responses, and minimize neural injury. This approach helps restore patients' neurological and motor functions and enhance overall treatment efficacy.

Objective:To explore the potential categories and influencing factors of medication compliance in patients with cardiometabolic multimorbidity, and provide a reference for formulating targeted intervention measures.Methods:A cross-sectional study design was adopted. From March to October 2024, the patients with cardiometabolic multimorbidity in the First Hospital Affiliated with Hunan Normal University (Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital) were selected by convenience sampling method as research objects. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS), Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), and Medication Literacy Questionnaire. The latent class analysis was used to explore the characteristics and classifications of medication compliance in cardiometabolic multimorbidity, and unordered multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of different latent classes.Results:A total of 421 subjects were included, consisting of 291 males and 130 females, aged (64.28±9.74) years old. The overall medication adherence score was 6.00 (5.00, 8.00) points, which could be divided into four categories: overall good adherence group (24.47%, 103/421), subjective perception-poor adherence group (15.91%, 67/421), forgetfulness-poor adherence group (37.53%, 158/421), and overall poor adherence group (22.09%, 93/421). The results showed that when taking the overall good adherence group as a reference, the inability to obtain pharmaceutical information from social media, medication literacy scores, social support scores were the influencing factors for the subjective perception-poor adherence group ( OR=4.210, 0.516, 0.733, all P<0.05). Occupational characteristics (employees in public institutions or government-affiliated institutions), age, social support scores were the influencing factors for the forgetfulness-poor adherence group( OR=0.173, 1.155, 0.781, all P<0.05). Occupational characteristics (employees in public institutions or government-affiliated institutions), failure to receive medication guidance from medical staff, medication literacy scores and social support scores were the influencing factors for the overall poor adherence group( OR values were 0.136-5.275, all P<0.05). When taking the overall poor adherence group as a reference, failure to receive medication guidance from medical staff and medication literacy scores were the influencing factors for the subjective perception-poor adherence group ( OR=0.310, 1.752, both P<0.05). Failure to receive medication guidance from medical staff, age, medication literacy scores and social support scores were the influencing factors for the forgetfulness-poor adherence group ( OR values were 0.315-2.554, all P<0.05). Conclusions:There is significant heterogeneity in medication adherence among patients with cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Healthcare professionals should consider individual characteristics in clinical practice and provide targeted, precise interventions to improve adherence in different patient categories.

Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease,and there is currently a lack of safe and effective vac-cines against the monkeypox virus.Therefore,screening and developing vaccine candidates is of signifi-cant practical importance.With the rapid advancement of molecular biology and plant genetic engineer-ing,plant bioreactors offer promising potential for producing vaccine proteins due to their advantages,in-cluding safety,cost-effectiveness,and scalability.In this study,we focused on the monkeypox protein B6R.The recombinant expression plasmid pFolia40108-B6R-Fer was successfully constructed using am-plification,enzyme digestion,and flexible linker tandem ferritin technology.A complete transient expres-sion system in Nicotiana benthamiana and a purification system for the recombinant monkeypox protein were established.The optimal expression time was determined to be 12-14 days,with a final purified pro-tein concentration of approximately 1 mg/mL and a yield of 0.85 mg/kg fresh weight.The purified B6R-Fer recombinant protein self-assembled into spherical virus-like particles(VLPs)with an average particle size of 24 nm.The B6R-Fer recombinant protein from this study shows promising potential for use in the development and screening of plant-derived monkeypox vaccine candidates.

Purpose To assess the utility of echocardiographic parameters in predicting adverse cardiovascular in patients with connective tissue disease.Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and echocardiographic records of patients with connective tissue disease from the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University(June 1st,2020 to June 1st,2023)who had complete medical data and at least twelve months of follow-up.Variables were screened based on univariate analysis,combined with clinical expertise and XGBoost feature weight analysis;this information was used to construct a Cox proportional hazards regression model designed to predict composite endpoint events of adverse cardiovascular outcomes.Internal validation was performed using the Bootstrap resampling method,and the model's performance was evaluated.Results The study included 123 participants.The incidence of positive events reached 39.02%(48/123).Mitral valve early diastolic annular velocity(reflecting left heart function)(HR=0.79,P=0.041)and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion(reflecting right heart function)(HR=0.92,P=0.044)emerged as significant predictors for adverse cardiovascular outcomes.Compared with the clinical model,the model combined with left heart function parameters showed significant improvements in both risk classification and absolute accuracy for short-term and medium-term adverse prognosis(NRI365=0.054,IDI365=0.060,NRI730=0.064,IDI730=0.079,all P<0.05)and optimized risk classification for long-term adverse prognosis(NRI1 095=0.256,P<0.05).In contrast,the model combined with right heart function parameters improved risk classification at all time points(NRI365=0.054,NRI730=0.000,NRI1 095=0.135,all P<0.05).Conclusion Mitral valve early diastolic annular velocity and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion,which reflect cardiac function,are factors for predicting adverse cardiovascular outcomes among individuals diagnosed with connective tissue disease.Multi-parameter combined models incorporating echocardiographic variables can provide incremental predictive value compared with clinical models.
