This study aimed to investigate the effects of the peptide secreted protein isthmin-1 (ISM1) on the proliferation and apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. ISM1 expression in NSCLC was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). ISM1 was overexpressed in lung cancer cell lines by transient transfection of ISM1 plasmids, or establishing ISM1 overexpression stable cell lines, or by treating cells with recombined ISM1 (rISM1). CCK-8 was used to examine cell growth. The intracellular signal transduction pathways regulated by rISM1 were analyzed by transcriptome sequencing, and verified by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The levels of intracellular ROS and apoptosis were further detected using the kit. The results showed that the expression of ISM1 was decreased in human NSCLC tissue samples compared to normal lung tissue samples. Overexpression of ISM1 or rISM1 treatment significantly suppressed the growth of lung cancer cells. RNA sequencing revealed that rISM1 mainly regulated the FoxO signaling pathway. rISM1 treatment decreased the expression of FoxO3 and FoxO1, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and induced cell apoptosis. These results suggest that ISM1 can inhibit the growth of NSCLC by regulating the FoxO signaling pathway. These findings provide new strategies for cancer therapy.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) combined with limb rehabilitation therapy in improving limb function of patients with hemiplegia due to stroke.Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted on 110 patients with hemiplegia due to stroke admitted to the 987 Hospital of the PLA Joint Logistic Support Force from January 2021 to January 2023. These patients were divided into a control group and an observation group, with 55 cases each, using a random number table method. The control group received conventional rehabilitation therapy, while the observation group received NMES combined with limb rehabilitation therapy. All patients were treated for 3 months. The Trunk Impairment Scale, Brunnstrom Motor Function Scale, Surface Electromyography, Brunel Balance Scale, Simple Gait Test Scale, and Modified Ashworth Scale were used to evaluate trunk control function, limb control function, neuromuscular disorders, balance control function (forward-backward inclination angle, left-right inclination angle), gait temporal-spatial parameters, symmetry parameters, and muscle tone recovery in both groups before and after treatment.Results:After treatment, the Total Impairment Scale and Brunnstrom scores for upper and lower limbs in the observation group were higher than those in the control group [(18.31 ± 1.61) vs. (14.38 ± 1.42), (3.78 ± 0.41) vs. (3.01 ± 0.63), (3.75 ± 0.42) vs. (3.28 ± 0.63), t = 13.58, 7.60, 4.60, all P < 0.05]. Additionally, the scores for tibialis anterior, fibularis brevis, fibularis longus, medial gastrocnemius, lateral gastrocnemius muscle control were higher in the observation group compared with the control group. The scores for Berg Balance Scale, forward-backward inclination angle, left-right inclination angle, step frequency, step length, step speed, and step width in the observation group were also superior to those in the control group. All differences were statistically significant ( t = 17.88, 20.15, 24.62, 19.53, 22.80, 3.31, 8.66, 7.88, 6.08, 4.21, 7.43, 3.35, all P < 0.05). Furthermore, the deviations in step length, the ratio of support on the affected side to the unaffected side, and the ratio of swing on the affected side to the unaffected side in the observation group were lower than those in the control group [(3.53 ± 2.55) vs. (5.35 ± 3.21), (1.11 ± 0.04) vs. (1.14 ± 0.03), (1.10 ± 0.06) vs. (1.24 ± 0.09), t = 3.29, 4.45, 9.60, all P < 0.05]. Additionally, the level of muscle tone recovery in the observation group was higher than that in the control group ( Z = 2.53, P = 0.011). Conclusions:In the treatment of hemiplegia due to stroke, NMES combined with limb rehabilitation therapy can effectively improve patients' trunk and limb control, enhance balance function, and greatly promote muscle strength recovery.

Objective:To explore the CT manifestation characteristics of peripancreatic aneurysms related to pancreatitis (PRPA).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 15 patients with pancreatitis-related aneurysms collected in Deyang People's Hospital from June 2017 to February 2025. Among them, there were 11 males and 4 females, with an age of (56.5±16.9) years. Record the CT manifestations of the patients, and observe the PRPA tumor-carrying arteries, morphology, quantity, bleeding, calcification, dynamic changes, etc.Results:The CT results showed that there were a total of 26 PRPAs in 15 patients. The aneurysm walls of the PRPAs had no calcification, among which 12 cases were single and 1 case was double. Two cases were multiple. The patients were pancreatitis complicated with muscle fiber dysplasia. Among them, one case had 5 PRPAs and the other had 7 PRPAs. Of the 26 PRPAs, 12 were sac-like, 8 were beaded, 4 were fusiform, and 2 were columnar in shape. The numbers of aneurysm-carrying arteries and PRPA were as follows: 8 in the pancreaticoduodenal artery, 7 in the hepatic artery and its branches, 6 in the splenic artery and its branches, 2 in the left gastric artery, 1 in the gastroduodenal artery, 1 in the middle colonic artery, and 1 in the ileocolonic artery. The CT diagnosis report missed 16 PRPAs, with a missed diagnosis rate of 61.5% (16/26). Among the 11 ruptured PRPAs, 4 were missed, with a missed diagnosis rate of 36.4%. Three missed aneurysms were diagnosed by digital subtraction angiography, and one was retrospectively analyzed by CT. Among the 15 unruptured PRPAs, 12 were missed, with a missed diagnosis rate of 80.0%. All the missed aneurysms were detected by retrospective CT analysis. There were 2 images without re-examination and 24 images with re-examination. Among the PRPAs with re-examination images, 4 disappeared after interventional embolization on the same day, 1 relapsed after interventional embolization on the same day, with a reduction in volume and disappeared after 3 days. Three cases underwent elective interventional embolization, among which two shranked and one enlarged before interventional embolization. Among the 16 cases that did not receive interventional treatment, 7 disappeared on their own, 1 was completely liquefied, 5 shrank but did not disappear, 2 remained stable in size without any change, and 1 increased. Among the re-examined PRPA images, 7 showed signs of enlargement.Conclusion:The main characteristics of PRPA are high rupture rate, prone to missed diagnosis and dynamic changes in size.

Objective:To predict pre-treatment clinical parameters that are associated with poor response and prognosis to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and to use second-line treatment drugs in the early stages to delay the progression of the disease so that patients can benefit from early-stage treatment.Methods:Patients diagnosed with PBC at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from 2013 to 2022 were collected. Two hundred fifty-seven cases were screened in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The response and prognosis conditions one year after treatment were followed up in outpatient and inpatient departments, as well as through telephone calls. Statistical analyses were performed using t-tests, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, Fisher's exact test, and logistic regression analysis according to different data. Results:A total of 257 PBC cases were included, with 223 females (86.80%) and 34 males (13.20%). Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses showed that baseline high albumin levels [odds ratio ( OR): 0.882, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 0.805~0.967, P=0.008] were a protective factor for PBC patients' response to UDCA treatment after adjusting for different confounding factors, while baseline high alkaline phosphatase ( OR: 1.012, 95% CI: 1.008~1.016, P<0.001) and baseline high neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) level ( OR: 1.462, 95% CI:1.079~1.981, P=0.014) were risk factors for a poor response to UDCA. Trend analysis showed that the baseline NLR quantile was positively correlated with the risk of poor response to UDCA ( OR: 5.512, 95% CI: 1.040~29.216, P=0.045) in patients with PBC. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis identified that age [hazard ratio ( HR): 1.050, 95% CI: 1.019~1.082] and NLR value ( HR:1.089, 95% CI:1.021~1.161) were independent influencing risk factors for all-cause mortality in PBC patients ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Baseline high albumin levels are protective factors against a poor biochemical response to UDCA, while baseline high alkaline phosphatase levels and high NLR are risk factors for a poor biochemical response to UDCA in patients with PBC. Additionally, baseline high NLR values are positively correlated with poor biochemical response to UDCA treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effects of the expanded lateral thoracic artery perforator flap in the reconstruction of breast scar contracture deformity after burns in minor females.Methods:The study was a retrospective observational study. From July 2018 to October 2023, 8 female children aged 4 to 12 years and with breast scar contracture deformity after burns, who met the inclusion criteria, were admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital of Jinan University. The skin and soft tissue expander (hereinafter referred to as expander) was placed in the first stage. The contracture scar was removed and released in the second stage, and the wound formed after the scar was removed measured between 9 cm×8 cm and 15 cm×10 cm. The expanded lateral thoracic artery perforator flap was designed and transferred to repair the wound with resected flap area of 10 cm×9 cm to 16 cm×11 cm, and the wound at the flap donor area was directly sutured. The complications such as incision infection, hematoma, and expander exposure were observed after stage Ⅰ surgery. After stage Ⅱ surgery, the survival of the flap and the wound healing at the flap donor area were observed. During the 1-year follow-up after the stage Ⅱ surgery, the breast development was evaluated according to tanner staging performance of female pubertal breast development, the aesthetic effect of the affected breast was evaluated by using the aesthetic effect evaluation standard after breast surgery, the Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used to score the scar condition at the flap donor and recipient areas, and the satisfaction of the children's families with the surgical outcomes was investigated by using a self-made scale.Results:After stage Ⅰ surgery, no incision infection, hematoma, expander exposure, or other complications occurred in 8 children. After stage Ⅱ surgery, only one child had tissue necrosis at the distal end of the flap with a size of about 2 cm×1 cm, which healed after dressing change, and the flap in other children had good blood supply, soft texture, moderate thickness, and similar color to the skin at the recipient area. The wounds at all flap donor areas healed well. During the 1-year follow-up after stage Ⅱ surgery, 7 children had normal breast development, with their breast volume, height, and shape being almost the same as or similar to the healthy side, with the aesthetic effect of all being grade Ⅰ; the breast in one child had not yet developed, and these indicators were not evaluated. The locations of nipple areola complex in 8 children were almost the same as or similar to those in the healthy side, and their skin color, integrity, texture, and elasticity of the partial breast repaired by the transferred flap were similar to those in the healthy side, with the aesthetic effect of all being grade Ⅰ. The shapes of nipple and areola in 5 children were inconsistent with those in the healthy side because of the original scar, with the aesthetic effect of all being grade Ⅱ, and the shapes of nipple and areola in the other 3 children were consistent with those in the healthy side, with the aesthetic effect of all being grade Ⅰ. The VSS score of the scar at the flap recipient area was 2-5, and the VSS score of the scar at the flap donor area was 1-3. Seven children's families were satisfied with the surgical effect, and one child's family was basically satisfied with the surgical effect.Conclusions:For the breast scar contracture deformity of minor females after burns, the expanded lateral thoracic artery perforator flap is used for reconstruction before puberty, which results in fewer postoperative complications, good breast shape, and hidden scar at the flap donor area. It is beneficial for the normal development of adolescent breasts, and is one of the safe and effective methods for the treatment of breast scar contracture deformity in minor females after burns.
