AIM:To evaluate the safety and toler-ability of single dose oral BTK inhibitor YZJ-3058 tablets under fasting conditions in healthy adults,as well as the pharmacokinetic and pharmacologi-cal characteristics of YZJ-3058 and its metabolites.METHODS:A total of 22 healthy subjects were en-rolled in this experiment and administered a single dose orally.They were divided into three groups:50 mg,100 mg,and 200 mg.Among them,2 sub-jects were enrolled in the 50 mg dose group,and 10 subjects were enrolled in the 100 mg and 200 mg dose groups,respectively.RESULTS:In healthy subjects,YZJ-3058 tablets were administered orally on an empty stomach at doses of 50,100,and 200 mg,with a median Tmax of 1.25 to 2.00 hours and an average Cmax of 62.85,89.44,and 99.20 ng/mL,re-spectively.The average AUC0-t was 183.87,297.72,and 453.98 h·ng-1·mL,respectively.The average AUC0-∞ was 189.30,321.33,and 551.44 h·ng-1·mL,and the median t1/2 was 1.16,5.06,and 7.97 hours,respectively.After a single oral administration of 50,100,and 200 mg YZJ-3058 tablets,the highest target occupancy rate was achieved at 4 hours.The average BTK occupancy rates at 24 hours after ad-ministration were 88.95％,96.73％,and 99.24％,re-spectively.The average BTK occupancy rates at 48 hours after administration were 75.65％,89.80％,and 96.68％,respectively.No serious adverse events or adverse events leading to withdrawal oc-curred,and all subjects had good tolerability.CON-CLUSION:YZJ-3058 tablets have good safety and tolerability for single oral administration on an empty stomach in healthy subjects within the dose range of 50-200 mg.Cmax and AUC increase with dose,with fast absorption and saturation.The ter-minal elimination rate gradually slows down with dose increase,and it has a significant and sus-tained occupying effect on BTK targets.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous suture and base ball suture in transumbilical single-port laparoscopic myomectomy.Methods A total of 103 underwent transumbilical single-port laparoscopic myomectomy patients in Jiaxing Maternal and Child from October 2021 to October 2023 were selected as subjects.The observation group(n=51)adopted baseball suture and the control group(n=52)adopted continuous suture.Baseline characteristics,intraoperative performance,and postoperative recovery were compared between two groups.Results The operation time in observation group patients was shorter than that in control group,and postoperative body temperature in observation group patients was lower than that in control group.Exhaust time in observation group patients was shorter than that in control group,differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Transumbilical single-port laparoscopic myomectomy baseball suture is safe and feasible,with shorter operation time,less postoperative fever and faster postoperative recovery.

Objective Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)is a global respiratory disorder characterized by chron-ic inflammation and airflow limitation.Dysregulation of lipid metabolism plays a pivotal role in its progression.This study aimed to explore the expression of the lipid metabolism-related gene GRIM-12 in COPD,and assess the therapeutic potential of its in-hibitor,Danthron.Methods Gene expression datasets GSE10006 and GSE11784 from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)were analyzed to identify GRIM-12 as a lipid metabolism-related gene upregulated in the small airway epithelium(SAE)of COPD patients.Human airway epithelial cells(16HBE)were stimulated in vitro with cigarette smoke extract(CSE)to evaluate GRIM-12 expression and the regulatory effects of Danthron.IL-6 level was assessed by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),while reactive oxygen species(ROS)level was quantified via fluorescence probe assays.The involvement of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway was also investigated.Results GRIM-12 expression was significantly upregulated in the SAE of COPD patients and in CSE-treated 16HBE cells.Molecular docking analysis showed that Danthron had a high binding affinity with GRIM-12,and inhibited its function through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction.Danthron treatment significantly suppressed CSE-induced GRIM-12 overexpression in v itro,reduced IL-6 secretion,and attenuated ROS production,alleviated oxidative stress and inflammatory responses.Mechanistic studies further revealed that Danthron enhanced cellular antioxidant defenses by activating Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway,thereby mitigating CSE-induced oxidative damage and inflammation.It is proved that Danthron regulated COPD-related pathological changes by targeting and inhibiting GRIM-12 expression.Conclusion Danthron effectively alleviates oxidative stress and inflammation in COPD by GRIM-12 expression inhibition and Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway activation,offering a promising therapeutic strategy for COPD management.

Objective:To explore and compare the clinical application value of 8-channel head phased-array coil, an 8-channel temporomandibular joint (TMJ)-specific surface coil, and a single-channel surface coil in TMJ MRI examinations.Methods:A total of 600 temporomandibular disorders (TMD) patients (1 200 joints) who underwent TMJ MRI examination in the First People′s Hospital of Jinzhong from June 2020 to January 2025 were retrospectively screened. Based on inclusion/exclusion criteria, 120 TMD patients (240 joints) with closed-mouth oblique sagittal proton density weighted imaging (OSag PDWI), coronal T2 fat-suppression weighted imaging (OCor fs T2WI) and open-mouth oblique sagittal proton density weighted imaging (OSag PDWI) were included. Patients were divided into groups A, B, and C, with 40 cases in each group. Group A (31female, 9male, median age 24 years old), underwent 8-channel head phased-array coil imaging. Group B (29 female, 11male, median age 23.5 years old) underwent TMJ imaging with an 8-channel surface coil. Group C (29 female, 11male, median age 22.5 years old) underwent single-channel surface coil imaging. There were no significant differences in age, gender, type or disease types among groups ( P>0.05). Six healthy volunteers without TMD (4 female, 2 male, range 19 to 45 years old) underwent imaging with all three coils as self-control. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and image quality were compared for five regions of interest (ROI) in both patients and volunteers. Results:Under the same sequence and the same parameters, SNR and CNR in group B were higher than those in group A, and SNR and CNR in group C were also higher than those in group A, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). However, there were significant differences in SNR and CNR between group B and group C in the closed and open positions of ROI1, the open positions of ROI3 and the open positions of ROI5 ( P<0.05), and there were no significant differences in other positions ( P>0.05). Group B had the best image quality, followed by group C and group A had the worst image quality. There were significant differences in the visualization of OSag PDWI in the closed mouth position, OCor T2WI in the coronal position, and OSag PDWI in the open mouth position, such as condyle, anterior attachment, joint disc, double lamina area, joint cavity and lateral pterygoid muscle ( P<0.05). There were significant differences between group B and group C in showing the joint cavity in the closed mouth position and showing the structure of the bilaminar area in the open mouth position ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in other regions of interest ( P>0.05). The subjective scores of condyle, anterior attachment, articular disc, bilaminar area, articular cavity, lateral pterygos muscle and other structures were medium to high in group A, high in group B, and high or high in group C by two radiologists independently. In the five rois, the 8-channel TMJ surface coil showed more details, especially in the articular disc, condyle and lateral pterygoid muscle regions, and had more advantages in both volunteers and patients. Conclusions:The 8-channel TMJ-specific surface coil provides significantly clearer visualization of critical anatomical details within the ROIs, demonstrating the highest clinical application value and is recommended as the preferred choice.

Objective:To evaluate the levels and source of cadmium exposure by dietary pathway among middle-aged and elderly people ≥40 in cadmium-contaminated areas of China.Methods:A total of 7 193 people aged 40-89 years from four typical cadmium-contaminated areas in China were selected as the study subjects. Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), Total Diet Study (TDS) and a 3-day-24-hour dietary recall survey were conducted. Dietary cadmium intake and food sources through dietary pathways were assessed based on cadmium content in foods, consumption amounts and intake frequencies.Results:The mean age of the participants was 63.39±12.21 years, with 50.05% being males. The average monthly dietary cadmium intake was 7.39 μg/(kg·BW). Staple foods and vegetables were the primary sources of dietary cadmium intake, accounting for 57.51% and 32.48%, respectively. The monthly dietary cadmium intake in all surveyed regions did not exceed the Provisional Tolerable Monthly Intake (PTMI) recommended by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA).Conclusion:The monthly dietary cadmium intake among middle-aged and elderly people in cadmium-contaminated areas of China is relatively low, with the risk remaining at an acceptable level. Staple foods and vegetables are the most significant contributors to dietary cadmium intake.

[Objective]To investigate the demyelination induced by Angiostrongylus cantonensis(AC)infection in the brain of Balb/c mice and analyze the untargeted metabolomic changes in the corpus callosum,aiming to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.[Methods]Balb/c mice were randomly assigned to a control group(n=6)and an infection group(n=6).The infection group was orally administered 30 third-stage larvae of AC,while the control group received an equal volume of saline.Body weight,visual function,and behavioral scores were measured on post-infection 3,6,9,12,15,18,and 21 days to assess neurological alterations.After 21 days,brain tissues were harvested for immunofluorescence staining,hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining,and transmission electron microscopy to examine morphological changes in brain myelin and retina.Metabolomics analysis was performed,and differential metabolites were identified using volcano plots and heatmaps.The distribution of fold changes and bar charts were used to profile the key metabolites.These differential metabolites were then subjected to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis and regulatory network analysis.[Results]On the 9th day after AC infection,Balb/c mice showed a decline in neurological behavioral scores(P<0.05).By day 15,visual scores decreased(P<0.05),and by day 21,significant weight loss(P＜0.001)and mortality were observed.Concurrently,transmission electron microscopy and immunofluorescence staining revealed significant myelin damage in the corpus callosum and a marked reduction in oligodendrocytes(P<0.001).HE staining showed severe retinal ganglion cell damage.Metabolomic analysis revealed that glycerophospholipids were the most abundant differential metabolites,with steroids and sphingolipids being relatively less abundant.Cholesteryl ester CE(20:2)was significantly upregulated(P<0.001),while phosphatidylmethanol(18:0_18:1)was significantly downregulated(P<0.01).KEGG enrichment and regulatory network analyses demonstrated that the differential metabolites were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways like steroid biosynthesis,bile secretion,and cholesterol metabolism,and were involved in key metabolic pathways such as sphingolipid metabolism,neural signal regulation,and glycerophospholipid metabolism.[Conclusions]AC infection affects the metabolic state of mice via multiple pathways,modifying the levels of metabolites crucial for myelination and myelin stability.Demyelination may be closely linked to the disruption of these key metabolic pathways,particularly the dysregulation of cholesterol and sphingolipid metabolism,potentially playing a central role in demyelination onset.Furthermore,alterations in phospholipid metabolism and abnormal nerve signaling regulation may exacerbate myelin damage.

[Objective] To compare the diagnostic accuracy of three imaging modalities, inlducing CT urography (CTU), contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI), and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the qualitative diagnosis of renal space-occupying lesions. [Methods] A retrospective analysis was performed on 542 patients with renal lesions confirmed by surgical pathology in our hospital during Jan.2019 and May 2024.The diagnostic results of CTU, CE-MRI and CEUS were compared and analyzed based on the patients' clinical and pathological data. [Results] The diagnostic accuracy rate of CTU, CE-MRI and CEUS were 84.50%, 83.14% and 86.14%, respectively.For the 161 patients who underwent all three examinations, CEUS was significantly more accurate than CTU (84.16% vs. 77.02%, P=0.018), while there was no significant difference between CTU or CEUS and CE-MRI (79.81%) (P>0.05). Further analysis found that for lesions ≤4 cm, the accuracy of the three examinations was as follows: CEUS=CTU 79.55%, CE-MRI 76.14%, with no significant difference (P>0.05). However, for lesions >4 cm, CEUS ranked the first, followed by CE-MRI and CTU (89.73% vs. 84.25% vs. 73.97%), and CEUS and CE-MRI were better than CTU (P<0.05). Additionally, for the diagnosis of clear cell renal carcinoma and benign renal space-occupying lesions, there was no statistically significant difference among the three imaging modalities (P>0.05), while for the qualitative diagnosis of non-clear cell renal carcinoma, CEUS ranked the first, followed by CE-MRI and CTU (83.87% vs. 74.19% vs. 56.45%), and CE-MRI and CEUS were better than CTU (P<0.05). [Conclusion] All of them have important diagnostic value, and the appropriate selection should be based on patients' specifc conditions.CEUS and CE-MRI are more accurate in the qualitative diagnosis of renal space-occupying lesions than CTU, especially for large lesions and non-clear cell carcinoma.

BACKGROUND:The mechanisms underlying the occurrence of pressure injuries are complex,and it is not entirely clear which factors play a central role in the development of pressure injuries and how these factors operate. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship between Piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1(Piezo1)and the occurrence of pressure injuries. METHODS:(1)Cellular experiment:Human immortalized keratinocytes(HaCaT)were treated with Yoda1,a Piezo1 agonist,at different concentrations.Cell viability,calcium ion influx,Piezo1,and apoptosis-related protein expression were detected.(2)Animal experiment:Twelve Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group and three experimental groups,with three rats in each group.The control group was not subjected to pressure,while in the three experimental groups,magnets with a thickness of 1,2,and 3 mm were used to press on both sides of the rats'back for 1 hour,respectively,to establish the animal models of pressure injuries.After modeling,all traumatic tissues were excised and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin,Masson,immunofluorescence staining and western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Cellular experiments:The results of live/dead cell staining showed that HaCaT cell apoptosis increased with the increase of Yoda1 concentration(0,2.5,5,and 10 μmol/L),and calcium ion influx increased with the increase of Yoda1 concentration(0,5,and 10 μmol/L),as well as with the prolongation of treatment time.Western blot assay results showed an increase in the expression of BAX,TG2,and PIEZO1 and a decrease in the expression of the expression of Bcl-2 protein in HaCaT cells in 5 and 10 μmol/L Yoda1 groups compared with the control group(0 μmol/L Yoda1).Animal experiments:The results of hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining showed that the skin structure of the three experimental groups was damaged at the compression site,there was subcutaneous fat liquefaction and necrosis,and collagen was sparse and disorganized,and damage to the skin structure at the compression site was aggravated with the increase of magnet thickness.Immunofluorescence staining and western blot results showed that compared with the control group,the expression of BAX,TG2,Yap1 and PIEZO1 proteins was elevated,and the expression of Bcl-2 proteins was lowered in the three experimental groups.Moreover,the expression of related proteins showed more significant changes with the increase of magnet thickness(pressure).To conclude,skin compression activates PIEZO1,leading to a significant influx of calcium ions.As the pressure increases,this ultimately results in cell apoptosis due to calcium overload.

To address the current issues of data imbalance and scarcity in photoplethysmography (PPG) data for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) prediction, this study proposes an improved conditional Wasserstein generative adversarial network with gradient penalty (CWGAN-GP). The algorithm integrated gated recurrent unit (GRU) networks and self-attention mechanisms to construct a generator, aiming to produce high-quality PPG signals. Various data augmentation methods, including the improved CWGAN-GP, were employed to expand the PPG dataset, and multiple classifiers were applied for T2DM prediction analysis. Experimental results showed that the model trained on data generated by the improved CWGAN-GP achieved the optimal prediction performance. The highest accuracy reached 0.895 0, and compared with other data enhancement methods, this approach exhibited significant advantages in terms of precision and F1-score. The generated data notably enhances the accuracy and generalization ability of T2DM prediction models, providing a more reliable technical basis for non-invasive early T2DM screening based on PPG signals.
