Objective:To investigate the metabolic pathways and potential molecular targets associated with dapagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:Plasma samples from patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were collected before and after 12 months of dapagliflozin treatment and analyzed using UPLC-VION IMS Q-Tof-based metabolomics and timsTOF Pro2 diaPASEF-based proteomics. Multivariate statistical analyses were performed to identify significant differences pre- and post-treatment. Correlation analysis was then conducted to assess relationships between differentially expressed metabolites and proteins closely associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Gene Ontology(GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) enrichment analyses were used to construct metabolic pathway maps and predict therapeutic targets.Results:After 12 months of dapagliflozin treatment, 162 differential metabolites were identified, with 59 upregulated and 103 downregulated. A total of 440 differentially expressed proteins were detected, of which 272 were upregulated and 168 were downregulated. The main classes of differential metabolites included sphingolipids, glycerophospholipids, and glycosphingolipids. Key differentially expressed proteins included importin subunit alpha-11, synemin, Janus kinase 1, and far upstream element-binding protein 2. Correlation analysis revealed 98 shared enriched pathways between differential metabolites and proteins, involving neurotrophin signaling, chemokine signaling, and B cell receptor signaling pathways. Metabolic pathway analysis suggested that dapagliflozin might regulate insulin secretion by modulating glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, and diacylglycerol levels.Conclusion:Dapagliflozin may exert therapeutic effects in type 2 diabetes mellitus through multiple mechanisms, including the modulation of metabolic and proteomic profiles, participation in key cellular signaling pathways, and regulation of insulin secretion.

Objective:To investigate the application value of laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplantation.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 9 pairs of donors and recipients who underwent laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplanta-tion in People′s Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January to April 2024 were collected. Of the donors, there were 8 males and 1 female, aged (39±18)years and with body mass index (BMI) of (20±4)kg/m 2. Of the recipients, there were 7 males and 2 females, aged (41±13)years and with BMI of (24±4)kg/m 2. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical conditions. Of the 9 recipients, 7 recipients underwent laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplantation successfully, 1 recipient with severe portal hypertension converted to open surgery with reverse L-shaped incision due to the hemorrhage during the dissection of the first hepatic portal after completing liver mobilization under laparoscopy, and 1 recipient underwent trans-umbilical extension incision through the middle of the epigastric region due to the limited space for operation in the implantation of the donor liver. The total operation time for 7 recipients who successfully underwent laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplantation was (648±31)minutes, with a time of anhepatic phase of (57±5)minutes, the volume of intraoperative blood loss of (1 322±627)mL, the donor liver mass of (1 195±232)g, and the ratio of donor liver mass to recipient body mass of 1.86%±0.42%. The operation time for laparoscopic liver dissection and porta hepatis dissection in 8 recipients during surgery was (212±35)minutes. (2) Postoperative conditions. All 9 recipients recovered smoothly after surgery, without any vascular or biliary related complications, and the surgical incision recovered well. The duration of postoperative hospital stay of 7 recipients who successfully underwent laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplantation was (14.2±2.0)days. (3) Follow-up. All 9 recipients were followed up for 3 months after surgery. During the follow-up period, there was no vascular or bile duct related complication.Conclusion:Laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplantation can be applied to recipients who meet surgical conditions and achieve good short-term clinical efficacy.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous screw fixation combined with minimally invasive transpedicular bone grafting and non-bone grafting in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures. METHODS: From Janury 2021 to June 2022, 40 patients with thoracolumbar fracture were divided into the experimental group and the control group. There were 26 patients in the experimental group, including 21 males and 5 females with an aberage age of (47.3±12.3) years old, who underwent percutaneous pedicle screw fixation combined with transpedicular autogenous bone grafting. In the control group, 14 patients received percutaneous pedicle screw fixation only. including 7 makes and 7 females with an average age of (50.2±11.2) years old. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, anterior height ratio of injured vertebrae, Cobb angle, visual analogue score (VAS), MacNab scores, loosening or broken of the implants. were compared and analyzed. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, VAS and anterior height ratio of injured vertebrae between the two groups. Compared with the preoperative results, VAS and anterior height ratio of injured vertebrae were improved statistically(P<0.05). For Cobb angle of injured vertebra, there was no significant difference between the two groups before surgery (P=0.766). While at 1 week, 3 months and 12 months after surgery, there were statistically differences between the two groups (P values were 0.042, 0.007 and 0.039, respectively). The Cobb angle of injured vertebrae one year after operation was statistically decreased in both groups compared with that before surgery (P<0.001). One year after surgery, the excellent and good rate of Macnab scores was 96.15% in the experimental group and 92.86% in the control group, and there was no statistical differences between the two groups (P=0.648). There was one patient in the control group suffering superficial wound infection on the third day, which was cured by dressing change and anti-infection treatment. There were no postoperative screw loosening and broken in both groups. CONCLUSION The two surgical methods have the advantages of less trauma, less pain and quicker recovery, which can restore the height of the injured vertebra, reconstruct the spinal sequence and reduce the fracture of the vertebral body. Transpedicular autogenous bone grafting can increase the stability of the fractured vertebra and maintain the height of the vertebra better after surgery, thus reducing the possibility of complications such as kyphosis, screw loosening and broken.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between food-specific IgG (sIgG) antibodies and phenotypes of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) .Methods:Serum samples were collected from outpatients with active CSU, symptomatic dermographism (SD) , or acute urticaria (AU) , and healthy controls from 5 third-grade class-A hospitals such as the First Hospital of China Medical University between April 2014 and March 2015. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was conducted to detect serum levels of 90 food-sIgG antibodies and total IgE, Western blot analysis to detect levels of 20 allergen-specific IgE antibodies, and chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay to detect levels of anti-thyroid peroxidase IgG antibodies and anti-thyroglobulin IgG antibodies. Comparisons of normally distributed quantitative data between two groups and among several groups were performed by t test and one-way analysis of variance, respectively; comparisons of non-normally distributed quantitative data between two groups were performed by Mann-Whitney U test; for comparisons of proportions, chi-square test and Fisher′s exact test were used. Results:A total of 248 patients with CSU, 22 with SD, 15 with AU and 13 healthy controls were recruited. The cut-off level for sIgG positivity was 100 U/ml (at least 2+) , and the positive rate of food-sIgG antibodies was slightly higher in the patients with CSU (176/248, 70.97%) , SD (15/22, 68.18%) and AU (11/15) than in the healthy controls (7/13; χ2 = 1.80, P = 0.615) . Among the 248 CSU patients, the proportion of patients with family history of allergic diseases was significantly higher in the sIgG-positive group (71/176, 40.34%) than in the sIgG-negative group (19/72, 26.39%; χ2 = 4.30, P = 0.042) , while no significant difference was observed in the 1-day urticaria activity score (UASday) between the two groups ( Z = 0.18, P = 0.859) . Totally, 177 CSU patients completed 12- to 40-week treatment; their condition could be completely controlled by second-generation H1-antihistamines, and there was no significant difference in the required dosage of second-generation H1-antihistamines between the sIgG-positive group (128 cases) and sIgG-negative group (49 cases; Z = -1.06, P = 0.298) . Conclusions:The prevalence of family history of allergic diseases was relatively high in food-sIgG-positive patients with CSU. However, food-sIgG could not be used as an indicator to reflect the disease activity of CSU and treatment response.
