ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 （LOX-1） gene G501C on brain structure and cognitive function in patients with white matter hyperintensities （WMH）. MethodsA total of 118 patients with WMH were enrolled. All participants underwent T1-weighted and T2-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery （T2-FLAIR） MRI to assess gray matter structure and WMH burden， and completed the mini-mental state examination （MMSE） and Montreal cognitive assessment （MoCA）. Partial correlation and mediation analyses were performed to explore the impact of LOX-1 polymorphism on cognitive function. ResultsParticipants were divided into GG+GC group （n = 35） and CC group （n = 83）. The GG+GC group showed lower MMSE and MoCA scores （MMSE： P=0.003； MOCA： P=0.015）， as well as greater WMH burden （all P0.001）， compared with the CC group. Voxel-based morphometry （VBM） analysis revealed reduced left thalamic volume in the GG+GC group， which was correlated with cognitive scores （all P0.05）. Subregional thalamic analysis further showed volume reductions in the lateral， ventral， medial， and pulvinar thalamic regions （all P0.05） in the GG+GC group， all positively associated with cognitive performance （all P0.05）. Mediation analyses indicated that volumes of the medial and pulvinar thalamic regions mediated the association between genotype and cognitive function （MMSE， MoCA）， and that WMH volume mediated the effect on MoCA scores. ConclusionThe LOX-1 G501C polymorphism may indirectly affect cognitive function by influencing specific thalamic subregional volumes and white matter damage， suggesting a potential mediating role of thalamic structures between genetic background and cognitive impairment.

Objective To investigate the status of feeding intolerance in patients with enteral nutrition after lung transplantation and analyze its influencing factors,to provide a reference for formulating a reasonable enteral nutrition plan and improving patients'nutritional status.Methods Convenient sampling method was used to retrospectively collect the clinical data of 115 patients who received enteral nutrition support after lung transplantation and were hospitalized in the ICU of a tertiary hospital in Guangdong Province from August 2022 to November 2023.According to the occurrence of feeding intolerance during ICU hospitalization,the patients were divided into a feeding tolerance group and a feeding intolerance group.Univariate and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of feeding intolerance patients with enteral nutrition after lung transplantation.Results Within 7 days of initiating enteral nutrition,a total of 63 patients developed feeding intolerance,with an incidence of 54.78％.Among them,the incidence of feeding intolerance was relatively high within 1 to 3 days after initiating enteral feeding.The clinical manifestations of feeding intolerance were diarrhea,bloating,gastric retention,vomiting/regurgitation,among which the diarrhea was the highest incidence(87.30％).Logi-stic regression analysis showed that intraoperative net balance volume(OR=0.999),intraoperative blood transfusion(OR=1.001)volume and diabetes history(OR=0.170)were independent influencing factors for feeding intolerance in patients with enteral nutrition after lung transplantation(P＜0.05).Conclusion There was a high incidence of feed-ing intolerance in patients with enteral nutrition after lung transplantation.Patients undergoing lung transplantation who have a high net intraoperative fluid balance,receive a low volume of intraoperative blood transfusions,and have a history of diabetes are at a lower risk of developing feeding intolerance when receiving postoperative enteral nutrition.When starting enteral nutrition,medical staff should dynamically evaluate the risk factors of feeding intolerance,screen high-risk patients as early as possible,and formulate reasonable enteral nutrition programs to improve the nutritional status of patients and promote their rehabilitation.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features including immunophenotype, molecular characteristics, differential diagnosis and prognosis of SMARCB1-deficient renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) without sickle cell trait.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 12 cases of SMARCB1-deficient RMC without sickle cell trait were collected from 7 domestic institutions during the period of 2015 to 2024. Their clinical characteristics, morphological features and immunohistochemical properties were observed and analyzed. High-throughput DNA-targeted next-generation sequencing was performed, and follow-up data were gathered along with relevant literature review.Results:Among the 12 patients, 5 were female and 7 were male. The patients age ranged from 27 to 84 years with a median age of 58.5 (46.0, 71.0) years. None of them had sickle cell disease or other hemoglobinopathies. Eight cases occurred in the left kidney and 4 cases were located in the right kidney. The average maximum diameter of the tumor was 6.1 (4.0,7.5) cm, with a range of 2.0 to 14.9 cm (the median maximum diameter 5.5 cm). Histologically, the tumors showed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, arranged in solid and tubular patterns. Papillary structure was noted in 5 cases, cribriform structure in 3 cases, rhabdoid differentiation in 3 cases, and sarcomatoid differentiation in 2 cases. Inflammatory desmoplastic stromal reaction was observed in 8 cases, among which stromal myxoid degeneration was seen in 6 cases. Tumor necrosis was apparent in 6 cases. The tumor cells had abundant eosinophilic or clear cytoplasm and prominent nucleoli. The nuclear grading was grade 3 or 4 according to the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP). Immunohistochemical staining showed that the tumor cells of all 12 cases expressed PAX8 and loss of SMARCB1/INI1 protein expression, and 5 of 10 cases expressed OCT3/4. Seven samples had valid archived paraffin tissues for high-throughput DNA-targeted next-generation sequencing. The results showed that all 7 cases had pathogenic mutations in the SMARCB1 gene. The mutation sites included exon5 c.595A>T (p.K199*), exon2 c.200_207del (p.S67*), exon2 p.G69VfsTer16, exon7 c.986G>T (p.S329I), exon7 c.886A>T (p.K296*), exon6 c.635T>A (p.L212*), exon5 c.577del (p.M193Wfs16), and exon6 c.784del (p.V262Sfs5). Follow-up data were obtained for 6 of 12 patients. Among them, 1 patient had lung and bone metastases, 1 patient had liver and bone metastases and 1 patient had multiple bone metastases at the time of diagnosis; 1 patient had bone metastases 5 months after surgery. One patient died of postoperative complications 10 days after surgery, 4 patients died of tumors (the survival time ranged from 4 to 8 months), and 1 patient had no recurrence or metastasis during the 8-month follow-up after surgery.Conclusions:SMARCB1-deficient RMC without sickle cell trait is a highly aggressive and poorly differentiated renal cell carcinoma. It has similar histomorphology, immunophenotype, molecular characteristics and prognosis to RMC, which further supports that it is a sporadic subtype of RMC related to sickle cell trait.

Objective:To construct a multidisciplinary collaborative intelligent prevention and treatment system for orthopedic thrombophilia based on advanced intelligent analysis technology and to evaluate its application effectiveness in the management of orthopedic thrombophilia.Methods:Established a clinical multidisciplinary medical team guided by early warning management and human-computer interaction theory, and builded a multidisciplinary collaborative intelligent prevention and treatment system for orthopedic thrombophilia based on intelligent analysis technology.Adopting a prospective pre-and post control study method, 674 orthopedic inpatients at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from February 2021 to October 2022 were selected as study participants by convenient sampling method and divided into a control group (308 cases) and an observation group (366 cases) according to their admission periods. The control group underwent conventional management methods for thrombophilia. In contrast, the observation group utilized a multidisciplinary collaborative intelligent prevention and treatment system for orthopedic thrombophilia for intelligent management methods. The two groups were compared regarding risk assessment rates, assessment accuracy, assessment efficiency, dynamic assessment completion rate, knowledge awareness rates, implementation rates of multidisciplinary collaborative preventive measures, and thrombophilia incidence rates.Results:The multidisciplinary collaborative intelligent prevention and treatment system for orthopedic thrombophilia mainly included four personnel ports (doctor end, nurse end, patient or caregiver end, medical quality control end) and eight modules (patient intelligent scoring, risk grading warning, dynamic evaluation of prevention contraindications, prevention measure decision-making, health education, inpatient data monitoring, department indicator statistics, medical management). Both groups of patients completed the study. There were 238 males and 70 females in the control group, aged (42.83 ± 8.69) years old. There were 278 males and 88 females in the observation group, aged (42.35 ± 8.13) years old. The risk assessment rate, assessment accuracy rate, and dynamic assessment completion rate of the observation group for thrombophilia were 100.00% (366/366), 98.90% (362/366), and 100.00% (366/366), respectively, all higher than the control group's 94.15% (290/308), 90.58% (279/308), and 91.55% (282/308), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=21.99, 24.88, 32.16, all P<0.01). The knowledge awareness rate of preventing thrombophilia among high-risk patients in the observation group was 95.90% (211/220), the implementation rates of basic prevention, physical prevention, drug prevention, and combined prevention in the multidisciplinary collaborative prevention measures were 87.37% (173/198), 97.72% (215/220), 39.09% (86/220), 46.37% (102/220), and 27.73% (61/220), respectively, all higher than the control group's 85.86% (170/198), 24.74% (49/198), 30.81% (61/198), and 12.12% (24/198), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 values were 9.81-20.19, all P<0.05). The risk assessment time for the observation group was (3.95 ± 1.03) minutes, and the incidence of thrombophilia was 1.91% (7/366), both lower than the control group's (9.56 ± 1.65) minutes and 7.47% (23/308), with statistically significant differences ( t=53.78, χ2=6.33, both P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of the multidisciplinary collaborative intelligent prevention and treatment system for orthopedic thrombophilia has improved the implementation rate of prevention and treatment interventions by medical staff, increased job satisfaction, and also enhanced the awareness rate of prevention knowledge among patients, thereby improving the management status of thrombophilia in orthopedic inpatients.

AIM: To investigate the effects of agkis-trodon halys venom anti-tumor component (AHVAC-) on the biological behavior of gastric cancer MKN-28 cells. METHODS: Gastric cancer MKN-28 cells were treated with the experimental concentrations (5, 10, 15 μg/mL) of AHAVC- for 24 h. Cell proliferation and toxicity assay (cell counting kit-8, CCK-8) was used to detect the inhibition rates of the cells in different concentrations of AHVAC-. The migration ability of the cells was evaluated by wound-healing and Transwell assay. The apoptosis were observed by laser confocal microscopy with annexin V-mCherry/DAPI double staining, and the apoptosis rates were analyzed by flow cytometry with annexin V-FITC/PI double fluorescence staining. The protein level of Caspease-3 was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with normal control group, the results of AHVAC- concentration groups showed that with the increase of AHVAC- concentration, the proliferative activity of MN-28 cells decreased gradually (P<0.01), the cell migration ability decreased gradually (P<0.01), and the cell apoptosis rate increased (P<0.05). The expression of apoptosis-related protein Caspease-3 was up-regulated (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: AHVAC- inhibits proliferation and migration of gastric cancer MSN-28 cells and induces apoptosis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy,safety,and potency ratio of microwave ablation(MW A)combined with percutaneous osteoplasty(POP)for the treatment of flat bone metastases.Methods A total of 57 patients with flat bone metastases complicated by intractable pain,who underwent MWA combined with POP(combination therapy)or only POP(pure POP therapy)at the Zhongshan Municipal People's Hospital of China between January 2016 and January 2023,were enrolled in this study.The combination therapy group had 36 patients and the pure POP therapy group had 21 patients.Visual analog scale(VAS),Oswestry Disability Index(ODI),quality of life assessment scale(QOL)were used to evaluate the preoperative and the postoperative different period efficacy,and the results were compared between the two groups.The procedure-related complications in both groups were recorded.Results The technical success rate in the 57 patients was 100％,and no serious postoperative complications occurred.The mean follow-up time was(4.7±1.3)months(range of 3.4-7.2 months).The preoperative and the postoperative one-day,one-week,one-month and 3-month VAS scores in the combination therapy group were(7.39±1.09)points,(6.53±1.17)points,(1.94±0.70)points,(1.11±0.66)points and(1.39±0.59)points respectively,which in the pure POP therapy group were(7.52±1.01)points,(6.81±0.66)points,(3.38±0.65)points,(2.33±0.56)points and(2.52±0.50)points respectively.One week after operation,the VAS scores in the combination therapy group and the pure POP therapy group were decreased by(5.44±1.32)points and(4.14±0.96)points respectively.The differences in the postoperative one-week(t=-7.62,P＜0.01),one-month(t=-7.28,P＜0.01)and 3-month(t=-7.58,P＜0.01)VAS scores between the two groups were statistically significant.The preoperative and the postoperative one-day,one-week,one-month and 3-month ODI scores in the combination therapy group were(44.33±2.91)points,(44.08±2.82)points,(15.92±3.04)points,(14.00±2.39)points and(16.08±3.61)points respectively,which in the pure POP therapy group were(45.67±3.03)points,(45.14±2.80)points,(22.38±3.09)points,(19.76±2.99)points and(22.10±3.10)points respectively.One week after operation,the ODI score in the combination therapy group was decreased by(28.42±4.23)points,which in the pure POP therapy group was decreased by(23.29±4.28)points.The differences in the postoperative one-week(t=-7.50,P＜0.01),one-month(t=-7.37,P＜0.01)and 3-month(t=-6.51,P＜0.01)ODI scores between the two groups were statistically significant.The preoperative and the postoperative one-day,one-week,one-month and 3-month QOL scores in the combination therapy group were(24.69±3.92)points,(26.06±3.05)points,(38.67±3.00)points,(40.25±3.42)points and(39.58±3.99)points respectively,which in the pure POP therapy group were(24.43±3.53)points,(26.76±3.05)points,(32.81±2.17)points,(33.95±2.68)points and(31.19±4.27)points respectively.One week after operation,the QOL score in the combination therapy group was increased by(13.97±4.88)points,which in the pure POP therapy group was increased by(8.38±4.50)points.The differences in the postoperative one-week(t=8.34,P＜0.01),one-month(t=7.56,P＜0.01)and 3-month(t=7.18,P＜0.01)QOL scores between the two groups were statistically significant.The mean operation cost in the combination therapy group was 10 480.43 Chinese yuan,which was higher than that in the pure POP therapy group.Conclusion For the treatment of flat bone metastases,both pure POP therapy and MWA combined with POP therapy are clinically safe and effective,which can significantly relieve pain and improve quality of life.Compared with pure POP therapy,the MWA combined with POP therapy is more effective but its medical cost is more expensive.

Objective:To provide evidence-based recommendations for the prevention and management of lower limb ischemia in veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) patients during treatment according to search, evaluate, and summarize the best evidence on the prevention and management of lower limb ischemia in patients with VA-ECMO.Methods:Based on the PIPOST framework (population, intervention, professional, outcome, setting, and type of evidence), an evidence-based question was formulated. A systematic search was conducted according to the "6S" evidence pyramid model in both domestic and international databases, as well as professional association websites, for all evidence related to the prevention and management of lower limb ischemia in VA-ECMO patients (aged ≥18 years). The types of evidence included clinical decisions, guidelines, expert consensus, systematic reviews, evidence summaries, and original studies.
