Objective To develop albumin-binding indocyanine green (ICG) and assess its potential for near-infrared fluorescence imaging and intraoperative navigation in lung cancer. Methods ABD-tri was recombinantly expressed by genetic engineering. Its albumin-binding capability was determined using size-exclusion chromatography, and its albumin-dependent binding to lung cancer cells was evaluated by flow cytometry. ICG was conjugated to ABD-tri to generate the fluorescent probe ABD-tri-ICG. The potential of ABD-tri-ICG for near-infrared fluorescence imaging and imaging-guided tumor resection was evaluated in mice bearing subcutaneous tumor grafts of lung cancer. Results ABD-tri was highly expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and was purified to homogeneity via a simple affinity chromatography. ABD-tri bound both human and murine serum albumin, contributing to its binding to lung cancer cells. ICG was effectively conjugated to ABD-tri to produce the fluorescence probe ABD-tri-ICG after mixing and incubation at room temperature for 1 h. In mice bearing lung cancer tumor grafts, intravenously injected ABD-tri-ICG enabled clear visualization of tumors with diameters ranging from 5 to 7 mm within 0.5-24 h post-injection. The tumor grafts were resected under the guidance of ABD-tri-ICG-mediated near-infrared fluorescence imaging. Conclusion Intravenous injection of ABD-tri-ICG allows rapid and sustained visualization of lung cancer tumor grafts and enables intraoperative navigation in mice, warranting further evaluation on the clinical translation of ABD-tri-ICG.

Against the backdrop of digital transformation in higher education， the traditional teaching model has become inadequate to meet the demands for cultivating new-quality nursing talents. Nursing ethics teaching confronts several dilemmas， such as unbalanced regional development， disconnection between theory and practice， scattered teaching resources， and fragmented knowledge points. With the iterative update of modern digital technologies， the knowledge graph， due to its structured， semantic， scalable， and multi-source integrative characteristics， offers a technological pathway to address these issues. Based on the construction foundation of the Ministry of Education’s first batch of virtual teaching and research platforms for humanistic nursing courses， the nursing ethics artificial intelligence（Al）course was developed around the“thinking-research-teaching-learning”framework. By strengthening ideological and political guidance， constructing a curriculum knowledge graph， and promoting the deep integration of humanistic care and professional knowledge，the course realized intelligent support for research，learning，and teaching. This innovative education model provides a replicable paradigm for cultivating outstanding nursing talents equipped with humanistic literacy， digital competence， and advanced ethical thinking， while also offering references for the digital transformation of higher nursing education.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia,which long-term loss of control can lead to complications of blood vessels of heart,renal and other multi-system,and even threaten the patient's life.Monitoring for blood glucose is crucial for adjusting treatment and preventing complications.Traditional invasive glucose monitoring technology requires frequent blood collection,which not only leads to significant pain in patients,but also poses the risk of infection at the puncture site,coupled with the reduced compliance brought about by cumbersome operation,which seriously restricts the effectiveness and continuity of blood glucose management.The non-invasive monitoring technique for blood glucose can enhance frequency of monitoring,and comfort level through optical method,biosensing method,etc.,which has key values in optimizing glycemic control,reducing risk of complications,and decreasing medical cost.It is becoming a hot point of research.This review summarized a noninvasive monitoring technique system included sample analysis method,optical method and physiological process-based method,which analyzed principles,advantages,and limitations of its development of each detection method.The review also concluded the challenges of noninvasive monitoring technique for blood glucose in some aspects included overcoming individual differences,enhancing precision of measurement,and improving accuracy and stability.In addition,it proposed some developing directions of noninvasive monitoring technique in future,such as continuous monitoring equipment with low cost,establishment of standardized database,and individual validation,so as to promote implementation of noninvasive monitoring technique for blood glucose,and realize accurate management for diabetes mellitus.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the quality and management of cleaning and disinfection of soft endoscopes in Wuxi hospitals,to analyze the existing problems and put forward suggestions for improvement,and to provide references for endoscope-related infection in hospitals.METHODS From Sep.to Nov.2024,the cleaning and disin-fection status and managements of soft endoscopes were investigated.Endoscopes were sampling for adenosine triphosphate(ATP)biofluorescence and bacteriological testing;final rinsing water,hands of disinfection person-nels,disinfectants and environmental surfaces were collected for bacteriological testing.RESULTS Totally 68.18％of hospitals performed daily leaks test before cleaning,and 81.82％used o-Phthalaldehyde;81.25％of hospitals used peracetic acid in endoscopy sterilization,with only 1 hospital using glutaraldehyde.Totally 86.36％of hospi-tals monitored the concentration of disinfectants before daily works.There were statistically significant differ-ences in full-time,education levels,age and working experience of personnels among different levels of hospitals(P＜0.05).The pass rate of the 60 endoscope ATP specimens was 88.33％,and there were statistically signifi-cant differences in the pass rate of gastroscopic ATP testing among different levels of hospitals(P=0.032).The qualification status differed significantly in the types of endoscopes and the time length of enzyme washing(P＜0.05).All 60 endoscopic bacteriological samples were qualified,while 141 environmental bacteriological samples were with a pass rate of 94.33％.Unqualified samples were mainly for disinfection personnel's hands,rinse tank faucets,final rinse water.Rolestonella piercei and Staphylococcus wolffii were detected in one failed final rinse wa-ter by mass spectrometry.CONCLUSIONS The overall equipment and staffing of the surveyed endoscope centers(rooms)basically meet operational needs and generally follow endoscope cleaning and disinfection guidelines.However,there are still deficiencies in cleaning and disinfection management,equipment maintenance,disinfect-ant concentration monitoring and personnel training.Further efforts are needed to strengthen the disinfection quali-ty monitoring of endoscope and related factors.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Vibrio vulnificus ( Vv) quorum-sensing protein LuxS on the homeostasis of pulmonary innate immune cells in sepsis-induced acute lung injury. Methods:This study constructed luxS knockout and complemented Vv strains. The time required for wild type, luxS knockout, and complemented Vv strains to grow to an absorbance of 600 nm in liquid medium was measured using a spectrophotometer. Iron-overloaded mice were intraperitoneally infected with 1×10 5 CFU of the above three kinds of Vv strains, respectively. Clinical scoring for sepsis-induced dyspnea was used to evaluate the respiratory quality in mice. At 7 h after infection, the pathological changes in lung tissues were observed by HE staining; the bacterial loads in lung tissues were measured; the single-cell suspension of lung tissues was analyzed by flow cytometry. Uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) was used to reduce the dimension of the distribution of CD45 + immune cells in lung tissues of mice in the PBS control group and infection groups with different strains. The frequency and absolute number of innate immune cells in lung tissues were analyzed by multicolor flow cytometry. One-way analysis of variance and t test were used for statistical analysis. Results:There was no significant difference in the growth rate of wild type, luxS knockout, and complemented Vv strains in liquid medium. Compared with the mice infected with the wild type or complemented strain, the mice infected with the luxS knockout strain exhibited overall alleviated respiratory difficulty, decreased inflammatory cell infiltration in lung tissues, and reduced bacterial load in lung tissues ( P<0.05). Besides, there was no significant difference in clinical respiratory scores, inflammatory cell infiltration, or bacterial loads between the mice infected with the complemented strain and wild type strain. UMAP analysis showed that compared with the mice infected with the luxS knockout strain, the mice infected with the wild type or complemented strain showed increased proportions of neutrophils and eosinophils in lung tissues. Results of multicolor flow cytometry analysis further verified that the proportions of neutrophils and eosinophils were significantly lower in the mice infected with the luxS knockout strain than in the mice infected with wild type or complemented strain ( P<0.01, P<0.000 1), while the proportion of alveolar macrophages was significantly higher as compared with that in the mice infected with wild type or complemented strain ( P<0.01). Conclusion:During Vv infection, LuxS may promote acute lung injury by affecting the homeostasis of neutrophils, eosinophils and resident macrophages in lung tissues.

The overall adverse event rate was 90.48% (19/21), and the grade 3 adverse event rate was 28.57% (6/21). Conclusion:The combination of camrelizumab with S-1 and nab-paclitaxel for initially unresectable cholangiocarcinoma has favorable short-term efficacy, tolerable adverse reactions, and improved long-term survival for patients.

Objective:To analyze serum inflammatory factors associated with antihistamine resistance in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) .Methods:A total of 88 CSU patients were enrolled from Guangzhou Dermatology Hospital from January 2022 to December 2024. All patients received antihistamine treatment according to the "Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of urticaria in China (2022) " . Based on the 7-day urticaria activity score (UAS7) after 4-week treatment, these patients were divided into an antihistamine-sensitive group and an antihistamine-resistant group. Serum levels of inflammatory factors at the initial visit were analyzed using the Olink-targeted proteomics technology. Specific biomarkers associated with antihistamine resistance were identified, and Spearman correlation analysis was carried out to analyze correlations among differentially expressed proteins. A logistic regression model was constructed based on the Olink proteomics data, and the predictive performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median (lower quartile, upper quartile) .Results:The 88 CSU patients aged 12 to 81 (38.78 ± 13.89) years, with the disease duration being 18 (7.00, 60.00) months. There were 32 patients in the antihistamine-sensitive group and 56 in the antihistamine-resistant group. No significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of age, disease duration, gender, or history of allergic diseases (all P > 0.05) . After 4 weeks of antihistamine treatment, the UAS7 score was significantly higher in the antihistamine-resistant group (25.00 [15.25, 31.00] points) than in the antihistamine-sensitive group (0.50 [0.00, 4.00] points; Z = -7.08, P < 0.001) . The Olink-targeted proteomics identified 5 differentially expressed proteins between the two groups: compared with the antihistamine-sensitive group, the antihistamine-resistant group showed > 2-fold higher expression of fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) , interleukin-15 receptor subunit alpha (IL-15RA) , eotaxin (CCL11) , and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) ; in contrast, the expression of sulfotransferase 1A1 (ST1A1) in the antihistamine-sensitive group was 2.54 times that in the antihistamine-resistant group. Among the differentially expressed proteins, MCP-1 showed the highest specificity (1.00) for predicting antihistamine resistance, followed by CCL11 (0.97) . Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between MCP-1 and CCL11, and a significant negative correlation between IL-15RA and ST1A1. ROC curve analysis showed that MCP-1 and CCL11 had area under the curve values of 0.603 and 0.630, respectively, in predicting antihistamine resistance. Conclusion:MCP-1 and CCL11 may be potential biomarkers for predicting antihistamine resistance in CSU patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum level of pyruvate kinase M2(PKM2),galec-tin-3(Gal-3)and citrolinated histone H3(CitH3)and pulmonary infection in patients with mechanical ventilation(MV).Methods A total of 120 patients with MV admitted to Jinhua Central Hospital from October 2022 to March 2024 were included in the study.They were divided into pulmonary infection group(n=50)and non-pulmonary in-fection group(n=70).Serum level of PKM2,Gal-3 and CitH3 was detected by ELISA.The patients were divided into good prognosis group(n=79)and bad prognosis group(n=41).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors affecting the adverse prognosis of MV patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of serum PKM2,Gal-3 and CitH3 for poor prognosis in pa-tients undergoing MV.Results Compared with non-pulmonary infection group,serum level of PKM2,Gal-3 and CitH3 in pulmonary infection group was increased(P<0.05).The level of serum PKM2,Gal-3 and CitH3 in the poor prognosis group was increased(P<0.05).The Clinical Pulmonary Infection score(CPIS)of the poor progno-sis group was higher than that of the good prognosis group(P<0.05).PKM2,Gal-3 and CitH3 were all risk factors for poor prognosis in MV patients(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of PKM2,Gal-3,CitH3 and com-bined prediction of poor prognosis were 0.712,0.839,0.779 and 0.925,respectively.AUC of combined diagnosis of PKM2,GAL-3,CITH3 and combined diagnosis was better than that of single detection(Z=4.261,2.521,3.676,P<0.001,0.05,0.001).Conclusions The serum level of PKM2,Gal-3,and CitH3 in MV patients with concurrent pulmonary infections is found to be higher than those in those without pulmonary infections,so these three factors have potential predictive value for poor prognosis of MV patients.
