Objective:To understand the characteristics of faculty in high-level public health schools in China, and analyze the differences in age, area and school level.Methods:Based on the internet information, the faculty information of 18 high-level public health schools was collected for a descriptive analysis on faculty characteristics.Results:There were 1 642 faculty members in the schools of public health in China, in whom 51.8% were women, 92.8% had doctorate, 32.4% had postdoctoral experience and 56.8% were former students staying to teach. The average age of the faculty members was (45.6±9.8) years. Meanwhile the top three study subjects were epidemiology and health statistics (31.0%), occupational health and environmental sanitation (16.5%), and health toxicology (16.3%). In the faculty members aged >40 years, 90.2% had doctorate, 62.6% were former students staying to teach, and 24.7% had no educational background of public health. The proportions of faculty members aged ≤40 years in the three groups mentioned above were 98.2%, 45.8% and 39.1% respectively. In terms of study subject, big data study were mainly conducted in the schools with top subject ranking and the schools in developed areas.Conclusions:The public health faculty was characterized by cross education background and high capability. The study subjects and sub-disciplines varied with schools and areas.

Cold tumors have a poor response to tumor immunotherapy due to low immune cell infiltration and the ability to evade immune attacks. Converting cold tumors into hot tumors can enhance the clinical effectiveness of anti-tumor immunotherapy. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) as a non-invasive treatment can damage tumors through mechanical effects, but there is a lack of research on its cytotoxic mechanisms at the cellular level and its role in inducing anti-immune responses. In this study, the role of HIFU in triggering tumor ferroptosis by disrupting the GSH/GSSG balance through mechanochemical action and the associated anti-tumor immune priming effect were investigated. The use of a nano-enhancer loaded with PFOB combined with HIFU could enhance ferroptosis in triple-negative breast cancer at a specific stage of tumor growth (UTGR = 0) while promoting the conversion of a cold tumor into a hot tumor, thereby improving the immune response. Overall, this provides valuable guidance for the clinical application of HIFU in tumor immunotherapy.

Objective To investigate the impact of immunohistochemical detection of omentin-1(omentin-1),secreted phosphoprotein 1(SPP1),and mismatch repair(MMR)protein expression status on the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of endometrial cancer(EC),in order to provide references for disease assessment,prognosis evaluation,and the development of molecular targeted therapies.Methods A total of 159 patients diagnosed with EC who were admitted to our hospital between December 2019 and December 2021 were enrolled as the study group.Additionally,152 samples of normal endometrial tissue were collected from patients undergoing hysterectomy due to benign uterine diseases and served as the control group.The expression levels of omentin-1,SPP1,and MMR proteins in endometrial tissues were compared among the study group,the control group,and EC patients with different clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic outcomes.Spearman correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the correlations among these biomarkers in EC tissues.The influencing factors of EC prognosis were analyzed through multivariate logistic regression.Kaplan-Meier survival curves were constructed to assess the association between the expression of these proteins and patient prognosis.Results The positive expression rate of SPP1 and the MMR deletion rate in endometrial tissues of the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05),while the positive expression rate of omentin-1 in endometrial tissues was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).In patients with EC exhibiting myometrial invasion≥1/2,the proportion of omentin-1 negativity was lower compared to omentin-1 positivity(P<0.05).Among EC patients with poorly differentiated tumors,the rates of SPP1 positivity and MMR deficiency were significantly increased(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis revealed that omentin-1 expression was negatively correlated with both MMR protein deletion and SPP1 overexpres-sion(P<0.05),whereas MMR deficiency was positively correlated with SPP1 overexpression(P<0.05).In the poor prognosis group,the positive expression rate of SPP1 and the deletion rate of MMR were elevated,while omentin-1 expression was reduced in endometrial tissues(P<0.05).The results of multivariate logistic analysis showed that omentin-1 negative,SPP1 positive,and MMR deletion were risk factors for the prognosis of EC patients(P<0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival curves were constructed based on follow-up data(Figures 1-3),indicating that patients with omentin-1 negativity,SPP1 positivity,and MMR deficiency had significantly worse prognoses(P<0.05).Conclusions With the development and progression of the clinicopathological features of EC,abnormalities were observed in the immunohistochemical expression of omentin-1,SPP1,and MMR proteins.Specifically,omentin-1 negativity,SPP1 positivity,and MMR protein deletion were associated with a poorer prognosis in EC patients.
