Objective To investigate the expression characteristics of poly(rC)-binding protein 1(PCBP1)in gastric cancer tissues and their clinical significances by bioinformatics analysis combined with experimental verification,and to identify its relationship with STIP1 homology and U-Box containing protein 1(STUB1).Specifically,this study aims to verify the expression patterns of PCBP1 and STUB1 in gastric cancer and determine their relationships with clinicopathological features by immunohistochemistry to provide a theoretical framework as well as potential intervention strategies for gastric cancer.Methods Data of PCBP1 expression in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues were obtained from TIMER 2.0 online analysis website.KEGG pathway enrichment analysis was performed using gastric cancer data(STAD)in the TCGA(the Cancer Genome Atlas)database,and its potential mechanism was determined.The main regulatory factor STUB1 was found in the fer-roptosis regulatory pathway.Subsequently,PCBP1 and STUB1 expressions in 33 cases of gastric cancer tissues and corresponding adjacent tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry.The collected cases were grouped according to different degrees of differentiation,age,gender,tumor size,depth of tumor invasion,TNM stage and pathological morphology.The positive expression rates of PCBP1 and STUB1 were observed.The correlation between the two proteins and the correlation between clinical and pathological features were analyzed by c2 test.Finally,the relationship between PCBP1 and STUB1 and malignancy of gastric cancer was further explored.Results Immunohistochemical results showed that the positive expression rate of PCBP1 in cancer tissues was 69.7%,which was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues(48.5%).The positive expression rate of STUB1 in cancer tissues was 39.4%,which was lower than that in adjacent tissues(54.5%),statistically significant difference(P<0.05).The positive expression rate of PCBP1 was correlated with tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis and Lauren classification(P<0.05),but not with patient's age,gender,depth of inva-sion,clinical stage,nerve infiltration,and intravascular tumor thrombus(P>0.05).The positive expression rate of STUB1 was correlated with tumor differentiation,depth of invasion,lymph node metastasis and Lauren classification(P<0.05).The Spearman correlation coefficient between PCBP1(cancer)and STUB1(cancer)was-0.413,with P=0.017(P<0.05),indicating that there was a significant negative correlation between them.Conclusion PCBP1 participates in the malignant progression of gastric cancer by regulating the main regulator STUB1 in the ferroptosis pathway.Theoretically,it provides a new insight into molecular mechanism as well as a potential therapeutic strategy for treating gastric cancer.

Signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family 6(SLAMF6)is widely expressed in T,B lymphocytes,NK cells and other immune cells.As a self-binding receptor for homotypic interactions,SLAMF6 is a type Ⅰ transmembrane protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily,composed of the proximal IgC2 domain and distal IgV domain,the extracellular membrane,and three unique tyrosine cytoplasmic signaling motifs.This article summarizes the structure,expression,function and implication for au-toimmunity and tumor immunity of SLAMF6.

Objective To explore the mechanism through which dexmedetomidine(Dex)alleviates doxorubicin(Adr)-induced myo-cardial injury via regulating nuclear factor κB(NF-κB)expression.Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control,Adr,and Adr+Dex groups.Theirs hearts were harvested for hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining,immunohistochemical staining,real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR),and Western blotting anlyses.The rat primary cardiomyocytes,breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-23,lung cancer cell line H226,gastric cancer cell line AGS,and bladder cancer cell line 5637 were cultured and divided into control,Adr,Adr+Dex,Dex,and Adr+Dex+NF-κBi groups.CCK-8 and immunofluorescence staining were performed to detect the reactive oxygen species(ROS)contents.Results The myocardial arrangement of the rats in the Adr group was disordered,myocardial cell activity was lower,the mitochondrial membrane potential was lower,ROS production was higher,and NF-κB mRNA and protein contents were sub-stantially lower than those in the control group.The cardiomyocyte morphology was improved,cell activity was higher,mitochondrial mem-brane potential was increased,ROS production decreased,and NF-κB expression significantly increased in the Adr+Dex group compared with those in the control group.The mitochondrial membrane potential in the Adr+Dex+NF-κBi group was lower,and ROS generation was increased compared with the control group.The activity of the tumor cells in the Adr group was lower,and no statistically significant diffe-rences were found compared with that in the Adr+Dex group.Conclusion Treatment with Dex may not affect the chemotherapeutic effects of Adr.Dex administration may increase the myocardial mitochondrial membrane potential and reduce ROS generation by regu-lating NF-κB levels,thereby reducing Adr-induced myocardial damage.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of ascending aorta banding technique combined with typeⅠhybrid aortic arch repair for the aortic arch diseases. Methods The clinical data of patients undergoing ascending aorta banding technique combined with type Ⅰ hybrid arch repair for aortic arch diseases from March 2019 to March 2022 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The technical success, perioperative complications and follow-up results were evaluated. Results A total of 44 patients were collected, including 35 males and 9 females, with a median age of 63.0 (57.5, 64.6) years. The average EuroSCORE Ⅱ score was 8.4%±0.7%. The technical success rate was 100.0%. All patients did not have retrograde type A aortic dissection and endoleaks. One patient died of multiple organ failure 5 days after operation, the in-hospital mortality rate was 2.3%, and the remaining 43 patients survived and were discharged from hospital. The median follow-up period was 14.5 (6-42) months with a follow-up rate of 100.0%. One patient with spinal cord injury died 2 years after hospital discharge. One patient underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair at postoperative 3 months due to new entry tears near to the distal end of the stent. Conclusion Ascending aorta banding combined with typeⅠhybrid arch repair for the aortic arch diseases does not need cardio-pulmonary bypass. Ascending aorta banding technique strengthens the proximal anchoring area of the stent to avoid risks such as retrograde type A dissection, endoleak and migration. The operation owns small trauma, rapid recovery, low mortality and a low rate of reintervention, which may be considered as a safe and effective choice in the treatment of the elderly, high-risk patients with complex complications.

This article inherited and summarized the application of Professor Tang Xudong's"New Eight Principles in the Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment of Spleen and Stomach Diseases"(abbreviated as"New Eight Principles")in the field of chronic liver disease.It believed that chronic liver disease should be distinguished from the four aspects of"zangfu organs-qi and blood-deficiency and excess-cold and heat".The differentiation of zangfu organs is mainly focused on regulating the liver and spleen,while also taking into account other organs;the differentiation of qi and blood emphasizes the knowing of its excess and deficiency,and the administrative levels of the disease;the differentiation of deficiency and excess is based on the principle of qi-deficency and blood-stasis,and strengthens body resistance and eliminating evil;for the differentiation of cold and heat,liver-gallbladder dampness-heat syndrome is the most common,but do not forget the liver cold syndrome.On this basis,Tongjiang theory is used as the treatment legislation,making it easier to be mastered,and guiding the prescription and medication of chronic liver disease throughout the entire stage,which can achieve good efficacy.

Objective:To establish a risk prediction model of liver failure after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma.Method:A retrospective case-control study was designed. Clinical data and laboratory results, including gender, age, and preoperative 18 laboratory indicators, were collected from 320 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing liver resection in Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital Affiliated to Naval Medical University from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2023. According to the surgical time, 252 cases in the training cohort were divided into 62 and 190 cases with and without postoperative liver failure, respectively. Of the 68 cases in validation cohort, 34 developed postoperative liver failure and 34 did not. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to conduct univariate analysis of gender, age, and 18 preoperative laboratory indicators, and multivariate analysis was carried out for significant results to determine the influencing factors of liver failure after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma, and Logistic regression model was established.Result:In the training cohort, indicators significantly associated with liver failure after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma included age ( P=0.016), platelets ( P=0.005), prealbumin ( P<0.001), and alkaline phosphatase ( P<0.001). Logistic regression was used to construct a nomogram model and draw a calibration curve by combining these four indicators. In the training cohort, the nomogram model showed good discriminability in predicting the risk of liver failure after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma. The area under the curve of was 0.82 (95% CI 0.76-0.88), and the sensitivity was 73% and specificity was 80% when the optimal cut-off value was 0.2646. In the validation cohort, the predictive performance of the nomogram model was comparable to that of the training cohort, with an area under the curve of 0.81 (95% CI 0.71-0.92), sensitivity of 82%, and specificity of 77%. Conclusion:Preoperative platelet and prealbumin decreases, alkaline phosphatase increases, and elderly patients are prone to liver failure after liver resection. The nomogram model constructed with preoperative test data has shows good discriminatory ability and accuracy in predicting liver failure after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To explore the adverse pregnancy outcomes of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) patients with different conception methods,and to construct a risk prediction model.Methods A ret-rospective cohort study was carried out to analyze the clinical data of 1453 cases of GDM patients who re-ceived regular prenatal care and delivery in the obstetrics department of the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province from January 2018 to August 2022.A total of 436 patients with GDM who underwent in vitro fertili-zation-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) were served as the observation group,1017 GDM patients with natural ges-tation during the same period were selected as the control group.Chi-square test and t-test were used to com-pare the basic data,weight change,blood glucose reaching standard rate,maternal and infant pregnancy out-comes and related complications between the two group.The risk factors causing adverse pregnant outcomes were analyzed after controlling the confounding variables by adopting multivariate logistic regression.The pre-diction model was constructed according to the regression coefficient weight of each risk factor.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the predictive efficiency of each independent risk factor and combined predictive factors.Results IVF-ET was an independ-ent risk factor for the first cesarean section (OR=1.809,95%CI:1.339-2.442),preterm birth (OR=1.622,95%CI:1.090-2.413),postpartum hemorrhage (OR=2.377,95%CI:1.406-4.018),adherent placenta (OR=1.971,95%CI:1.211-3.209),low birth weight infant (OR=2.232,95%CI:1.354-3.680) in the pa-tients with GDM (P<0.05).A combined prediction model was established by parity,age,fetus number,ges-tational weight gain,IVF-ET and scar uterus.The combined prediction probability was P=eLogit(P)/(1+eLogit(P)),Logit(P)=β1X1+β2X2+…+βnXn.The combined prediction efficacy of this study model for pre-term birth,cesarean section and low birth weight infants was good,AUC was approximately 0.8,which was greater than AUC of each independent risk factor.Conclusion The combined model of parity,age,fetus num-ber,gestational weight gain,IVF-ET and scar uterus has a certain predictive value for the risk of cesarean sec-tion,preterm birth and low birth weight infant in the patients with GDM.
