[Purpose]To analyze the incidence and mortality rates of female breast cancer in Henan Province in 2020 and the trends from 2010 to 2020.[Methods]Breast cancer incidence and mor-tality data stratified by urban and rural areas and age groups were collected from Henan Provincial tumor registry,and the province's household population statistics were used.The crude incidence/mortality rate,age-standardized incidence/mortality rate by Chinese standard population(ASIRC/ASMRC)and world standard population(ASIRW/ASMRW),cumulative rate(0～74 year old)were calculated.The annual percentage change(APC),average annual percentage change(AAPC)and 95％confidence interval(CI)were calculated using Joinpoint software to analyze the trends of the incidence and mortality from 2010 to 2020.[Results]In 2020,24 744 new cases and 4 989 deaths of female breast cancer were documented in Henan Province,with a crude incidence rate of 46.96/105,ASIRC of 38.43/105 and ASIRW of 35.71/105;a crude mortality rate of 9.47/105,ASMRC of 6.80/105 and ASMRW of 6.72/105,respectively.The above indicators in urban areas were signifi-cantly higher than those in rural areas.The highest incidence was observed in the age group of 50～54 years old,while the highest mortality reached in the age group of 85 years old and above.From 2010 to 2020,the overall incidence of female breast cancer showed a slow upward trend(AAPC=2.09％,95％CI:0.62％～3.58％,P=0.010),while the mortality rate exhibited a signif-icant downward trend(AAPC=-3.49％,95％CI:-5.62％～-1.30％,P=0.005).[Conclusion]The incidence and mortality rates of female breast cancer in Henan Province are still at a high level,and corresponding preventive measures and control strategies are needed to effectively reduce the health hazards of breast cancer to women.

Objective: To analyze the frequency and investigate the causes of unexpected antibodies in D-negative blood donors. Methods: From January 2022 to December 2024, 3 768 D-negative blood donors sent to our laboratory were selected as research subjects. D-negative confirmation test and RhCE phenotype detection were applied by saline tube method and microcolumn gel indirect antiglobulin test (IAT), respectively. Antibody screening and identification were performed using the polybrene method and IAT column agglutination methods. Anti-D, anti-C and anti-G specificities were identified by a two-step adsorption-elution method, and the genotypes of D-negative samples were determined by RHD gene amplification, Sanger sequencing, and PacBio Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing. Results: Among D-negative donors, ccee and Ccee phenotypes accounted for the highest proportion, 55.68% (2 098/3 768) and 29.56% (1 114/3 768), respectively, while CcEE and CCEe phenotypes were the least, with one case detected in each, accounting for 0.03% (1/3 768). A total of 165 cases with D variant phenotype were detected, and the proportion of D variant was 4.38% (165/3 768) in the donors detected by D-negative confirmation test. Antibody screening positive blood donors were identified in 93 cases with a proportion of 2.47% (93/3 768). Antibody specificity was determined in 84 blood donors, and 9 samples showed no clear specificity. Anti-D was detected most frequently (n=68), in which 6 of them were detected having multiple antibodies, anti-D + anti-C (n=2), anti-D + anti-G(n=1), and anti-D + anti-E(n=3). The other antibodies detected were anti-E (n=1), anti-M(n=9), anti-P1 (n=3), anti-Le (n=1), and anti-HI(n=2). Fourteen cases were detected with anti-D in serological D-negative donors with C+ or E+ phenotype, in which three of them were DVI type 3 individuals and 11 cases were D negative individuals. Conclusion: The incidence of unexpected antibodies was higher in D-negative blood donors than in the total donors, with anti-D being the most common. The data provide insights for prevention and monitoring hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) caused by anti-D. To ensure the safety of blood transfusion, routine unexpected antibody screening for RhD-negative blood donors is recommended to prevent the use of unexpected antibodies positive plasma in the clinic.

Objective:To investigate the role of microRNA-25-5p (miR-25-5p) in melanogenesis, and to explore its underlying mechanisms.Methods:Target genes of miR-25-5p were predicted using the TargetScan database. The interaction between miR-25-5p and the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of the RAB11B gene (a member of RAS oncogene family) was validated through a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) models were established in female C57BL/6J mice (6 - 8 weeks old) and female brown guinea pigs (4 - 6 weeks old) through daily broadband ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation on the dorsal skin of the mouse ear or shaved dorsal skin of guinea pigs, while untreated mice and untreated dorsal skin areas of guinea pigs served as control groups. During modeling, these experimental animals received intradermal injections of a miR-25-5p agomir or a miR control agomir. Changes in skin pigmentation were observed, and skin tissue samples were harvested for further analysis after modeling. Melanin content in skin tissues was evaluated using Masson-Fontana staining. Expression of RAB11B and tyrosinase (TYR) in skin tissues was determined using immunohistochemical staining and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). Primary human melanocytes were isolated from discarded normal foreskin tissues of healthy males after circumcision. Both primary human melanocytes and human MNT1 melanoma cells were transfected with miR-25-5p mimics or miR control mimics. Relative expression levels of miR-25-5p and RAB11B mRNA were quantified by qPCR using the 2 -ΔΔCt calculation method. In MNT1 cells, miR-25-5p and RAB11B were co-overexpressed to assess their effect on the mRNA expression of RAB11B and TYR. Statistical analysis was conducted using t test or one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey's post hoc test for multiple comparisons. Results:The bioinformatic prediction and dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed a binding site for miR-25-5p in the 3′ UTR of the RAB11B gene. In both animal models, the treatment with the miR-25-5p agomir significantly reduced local skin pigmentation compared to the control groups; Masson-Fontana staining showed a marked decrease in the density of melanin granules in the epidermis and dermis in the miR-25-5p agomir groups compared with the miR control agomir groups (mice: 0.050 ± 0.005 vs. 0.087 ± 0.008; guinea pigs: 0.067 ± 0.015 vs. 0.110 ± 0.013; both P < 0.05). Immunohistochemical staining revealed significantly lower expression of RAB11B in mouse skin tissues in the miR-25-5p agomir group than in those in the miR control agomir group (both P < 0.05). qPCR revealed significantly lower mRNA expression of RAB11B and TYR in skin tissues of guinea pigs in the miR-25-5p agomir group than in those in the miR control agomir group (both P < 0.05). Similarly, RAB11B mRNA expression significantly decreased in the miR-25-5p mimics group compared with the miR control mimics group in primary human melanocytes and MNT1 cells (both P < 0.05). In human MNT1 melanoma cells, miR-25-5p overexpression could suppress TYR mRNA expression, whereas co-overexpression of miR-25-5p and RAB11B could reverse this suppression. Conclusion:Overexpression of miR-25-5p could alleviate UVB-induced post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and inhibit melanogenesis, likely by targeted suppression of RAB11B expression.

Objectives:To investigate the protective effect of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD?) against noise-induced cochlear damage and preliminarily explore its underlying transcriptional and metabolic regulatory mechanisms.Methods:During the study period (January 2023-February 2025), an oxidative stress model was established using House Ear Institute-organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC1) cells, and cell viability was assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay. Flow cytometry was employed to analyze cell apoptosis. A mouse model of noise-induced hearing loss was developed, and the mice were divided into three groups: a noise-exposed saline group, a noise-exposed NAD? intervention group, and a noise-free control group. Hearing protection effects were evaluated by auditory brainstem response (ABR) and immunofluorescence. Metabolomics and transcriptomics were used to analyze the regulatory effects of NAD +on transcription and metabolism in mouse cochlea. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, quantitative real-time PCR, and western blot were used to verify the differential transcription and metabolic molecules and their functions. Data were statistically analyzed with GraphPad Prism 9.3.0. Results:NAD +at concentrations ranging from 10-80 μM effectively restored cell viability and reduced apoptosis induced by H?O? in HEI-OC1 cells. NAD? intervention significantly improved 16-32 kHz ABR thresholds after noise exposure ( P<0.05), reduced outer hair cell loss rates ( P<0.05), and attenuated ribbon synapse damage ( P<0.000 1). Metabolomics analysis revealed a significant downregulation in the glycerophospholipid metabolism pathway, with decreased levels of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and its related metabolites. ELISA results showed that LPA levels in the NAD? intervention group were significantly lower ( P<0.05). LPA inhibitor (ATX inhibitor 1) exhibited a cell protective effect similar to that of NAD?. Transcriptomics analysis indicated a significant upregulation of key genes related to potassium ion channels, such as Kcnq4. qPCR and Western blot further confirmed the significant upregulation of Kcnq4 and its encoded protein in the NAD? intervention group ( P<0.05). In the presence of the KCNQ4 inhibitor (ML252), the protective effect of NAD? was inhibited. Conclusions:NAD? exerts effective protective effects against noise-induced cochlear injury. Its protective mechanism may be closely related to the inhibition of LPA metabolic pathway and the up-regulation of KCNQ4 channel function.

HDAC7, a member of class IIa HDACs, plays a pivotal regulatory role in tumor, immune, fibrosis, and angiogenesis, rendering it a potential therapeutic target. Nevertheless, due to the high similarity in the enzyme active sites of class IIa HDACs, inhibitors encounter challenges in discerning differences among them. Furthermore, the substitution of key residue in the active pocket of class IIa HDACs renders them pseudo-enzymes, leading to a limited impact of enzymatic inhibitors on their function. In this study, proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology was employed to develop HDAC7 drugs. We developed an exceedingly selective HDAC7 PROTAC degrader B14 which showcased superior inhibitory effects on cell proliferation compared to TMP269 in various diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Subsequent investigations unveiled that B14 disrupts BCL6 forming a transcriptional inhibition complex by degrading HDAC7, thereby exerting proliferative inhibition in DLBCL. Our study broadened the understanding of the non-enzymatic functions of HDAC7 and underscored the importance of HDAC7 in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, particularly in DLBCL and AML.

Objective To investigate the DSA imaging characteristics and efficacy of interventional treatment for post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage(PPH),and to analyze the factors influencing recurrent bleeding following successful interventional hemostasis.Methods Clinical data of patients who underwent interventional treatment for PPH between January 2013 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent DSA examination,and interventional therapy was the primary treatment option for patients with positive findings.Statistical analysis was performed on DSA angiography manifestations,bleeding sites,success rate of interventional treatment and hemostasis effectiveness.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the independent risk factors for rebleeding after interventional treatment for PPH.Results A total of 139 patients with PPH were included in this study.All 139 patients underwent DSA examination,with a positive rate of 82.01％(114/139)in the first examination.Major angiographic manifestations included contrast agent extravasation,pseudoaneurysm,and disrupted vascular architecture;bleeding sites included gastroduodenal artery in 45 cases(39.47％),hepatic artery in 22 cases(19.30％),and superior mesenteric artery in 32 cases(28.07％).107 patients underwent interventional treatment(81 embolization and 26 stenting),with a success rate of 91.59％(98/107).The independent risk factors for recurrent bleeding after interventional treatment in patients with PPH included preoperative bleeding(P＜0.001)and pancreatic fistula(P=0.041).Conclusion Interventional procedures for PPH can be efficient in diagnosis and treatment,with a high success rate and effective hemostasis.However,it should be noted that some patients remain at risk of recurrent bleeding after successful interventional hemostasis.

Objective To explore the value of neutrophil extracellular trapping nets(neutrophil extracellular traps,NETs)in the diagnosis and monitoring of acute ischemic stroke(acute ischemic stroke,AIS).Methods From June 2023 to February 2024,63 patients newly diagnosed with AIS at the Ganmei Hospital Affiliated with Kunming Medical University were selected as the experimental group,and 58 non-AIS individuals matched in gender,age,and other characteristics were selected as the control group.The NETs levels of patients in the experimental group were detected before and 7-10 days after treatment,and general clinical data and related laboratory results were statistically analyzed.Results The experimental group showed significantly higher levels of NEUT,LYMPH,MONO,EO,FDP,D-dimer,and NETs compared to the control group(P<0.05).The NETs levels before treatment were significantly higher than those at 7～10 days after treatment and in the control group(P<0.05).The NETs levels 7～10 days after treatment were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).NEUT,MONO,FDP,D-dimer,and NIHSS scores were positively correlated with the pre-treatment NETs levels(P<0.05).Elevated serum NETs levels were associated with AIS risk factors(P<0.05).The combined diagnostic value of NEUT,D-dimer,and NETs for AIS was superior to other indicators.Conclusion NETs are highly expressed in the serum of patients with acute ischemic stroke,and serum NETs have certain value in the auxiliary diagnosis and monitoring of acute ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of patients with China Liver Cancer Staging(CNLC)stage Ⅲhepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)achieving five-year sustained complete remission(CR)after local treatment combined with systemic therapy,as well as potential contributing factors,and to provide a reference for optimizing the treatment of advanced HCC.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of six patients with CNLC stage Ⅲ HCC who were treated in Department of Interventional Radiology,The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University,from January 2016 to December 2019 and achieved five-year sustained CR.Baseline characteristics,treatment modalities,and follow-up data were summarized,and a literature review was performed.Results The six patients had a mean age of 58.3±10.1 years,among whom five had stage Ⅲa HCC and one had stage Ⅲb HCC,and all patients had a history of hepatitis.The mean preoperative MELD score was 8.2±0.8 for the six patients,and there were five patients with Child-Pugh class A liver function and one with Child-Pugh class B liver function.All patients underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization,followed by sequential targeted drug therapy after surgery,with sorafenib for four patients and lenvatinib for two patients.Four patients with main portal vein tumor thrombus also received 125I seed implantation,one patient with the single-nodule type underwent radiofrequency ablation,and three patients received immunotherapy with camrelizumab.The median time to AFP normalization was 6 months,the median time from treatment to CR was 5.5 months,and the median follow-up time was 63 months.Conclusion Good liver function at baseline,an early and rapid reduction in AFP,and the combination of local treatment and systemic therapy are key factors for achieving long-term CR in patients with advanced HCC.Multi-center large-scale studies are needed in the future to further explore prognostic factors and optimize treatment regimens.
