Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD） is a common chronic liver disease with the pathological feature of lipid accumulation in the liver， and it is closely associated with liver metabolic disorders. The latest research has shown that the pathogenesis of MAFLD is associated with the abnormal expression of specific genes， especially the fat mass and obesity-associated （FTO） gene. The abnormal activity of the FTO gene may lead to an imbalance in liver lipid metabolism， which manifests as the increase in fatty acid synthesis and the reduction in fatty acid oxidation， thereby promoting liver fat deposition and inflammatory response. Therefore， regulating the expression or activity of the FTO gene is considered one of the potential strategies for the treatment of MAFLD. At present， drug research targeting the function of the FTO gene has achieved preliminary results， and inhibition of the activity of the FTO gene can help to regulate liver lipid metabolism and alleviate liver inflammatory injury. This article reviews the mechanism of action of the FTO gene in the development and progression of MAFLD， summarizes the advances in drug research on the FTO gene and related metabolic pathways in recent years， and analyzes their application prospect in research and treatment.

Objective:To investigate human factors underlying radiotherapy planning safety incidents and quantitatively explore their interrelationships.Methods:A total of 1 619 safety incidents recorded in the automated plan checking system developed by West China Hospital of Sichuan University were utilized. Human factors were identified and statistically analyzed using the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS). A Bayesian network model was developed and combined with sensitivity analysis for quantitative assessment.Results:Key contributing factors included organizational processes (12.89%), inadequate supervision (11.85%), and personnel factors (13.50%). Utilizing the established HFACS Bayesian network hybrid model in conjunction with sensitivity analysis, it has been found that the most significant influences on skill‐based errors and decision errors were condition of operators and environmental factors, with corresponding indices of 0.96 and 0.76. Additionally, personnel factors had the greatest impact on routine, with an index of 3.51.Conclusions:Key contributing factors span all HFACS levels, with organizational processes, supervision, personnel, and condition of operators each playing a significant role. Upstream factors — such as organizational climate, environment factors, and personnel factors — strongly influence downstream risks. These offer actionable insights for developing targeted safety protocols.

Objective: To investigate the expression of the Y chromosome gene lysine-specific demethylase 5D(KDM5D) in male bladder cancer and its effects on cancer progression, thereby explaining gender-related prognostic differences in bladder cancer. Methods: Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to identifyKDM5Das a differentially expressed Y chromosome gene with prognostic significance in bladder cancer based on data from the TCGA database. The expression ofKDM5Din bladder cancer cell lines, collected clinical bladder cancer tissues, and adjacent normal epithelial tissues were examined using quantitative Real-time PCR(qPCR), Western blot, immunofluorescence, tumor microenvironment analysis, and bioinformatics pathway analysis. The effects ofKDM5Don bladder cancer cell proliferation and migration were validated through cell experiments followingKDM5Dknockdown and overexpression. Additionally, clinical data onKDM5Dexpression in bladder cancer tissue arrays were statistically analyzed in relation to metastasis and recurrence. Results: KDM5Dwas generally downregulated in male bladder cancer but exhibited variable expression in different bladder cancer cell lines and between recurrent and non-recurrent bladder cancers. Overexpression ofKDM5Dinhibited tumor cell proliferation and migration, and lowerKDM5Dexpression was associated with higher recurrence and metastasis rates. Bioinformatics analysis suggested thatKDM5Dmight influence tumor metastasis or recurrence by affecting immune cell aggregation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Conclusion KDM5Dis a protective gene specific to male bladder cancer and may be associated with the generally better prognosis observed in male compared to female bladder cancer patients.

Objective:To retrospectively compare the clinical efficacy of two PDE3 inhibitors, oplinone and Milrinone, in order to evaluate which drug has better effects on the improvement of cardiac function, protection of renal function and adverse effects of arrhythmia.Methods:A total of 41 neonates with congenital heart disease after biventricular treatment under cardiopulmonary bypass in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Soochow University Children's Hospital during 2018-2022 were collected. The experimental group was divided into two groups: Oprilinone(25 cases) and Milinone(16 cases). A retrospective study was conducted on the incidence of renal function, cardiac function improvement and arrhythmia in the children.Results:On the first day after operation, EF in both groups decreased significantly compared with that before operation( P<0.01); On day 4 after surgery, EF in the oprilinone group was significantly higher than that on day 1 after surgery( P<0.01), Milrinone group was slightly higher than that on day 1 after surgery( P<0.05), and EF in oprilinone group was significantly higher than that in Milinone group during the same period( P<0.01); EF in Milinone group continued to increase on day 7 compared with day 4( P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between the two groups. Long-term follow-up showed that there was no significant difference in EF value in the oprilinone intervention group on day 7 after surgery( P<0.05), and the long-term EF in Milinone group was higher than that at 7 days after surgery( P<0.05). The creatinine level in the oprinone intervention group continued to decrease on the 4th and 7th day after surgery( P<0.01; P<0.05); The creatinine level of Milinone group on day 4 after surgery was significantly lower than that on day 1 after surgery( P<0.01), the decrease was not significant on the 7th day after surgery compared with the 4th day after surgery; The creatinine level in the oprilinone group was lower than that in the Milrinone group on day 7 after surgery( P<0.05). The rate of arrhythmia in children was slightly decreased in the intervention group of olplinone. There was no change in the Milinone group. Conclusion:Oplinone improved cardiac function better than Milrinone, and the recovery time to normal cardiac function was shorter. In terms of renal function protection, oplinone was stronger than Milrinone, and the protective effect of oplinone on kidney lasted longer. No significant abnormalities were found with respect to adverse reactions, such as the incidence of arrhythmia.

Objective:To assess the urethral mobility of normal parous women in China and explore the impacts of related risk factors on it using translabial ultrasound.Methods:Females who met the inclusion criteria in 37 tertiary hospitals from February 2017 to August 2018 were included. All women underwent standardized translabial ultrasound examination and the urethral rotation angle (URA), bladder neck position at maximum Valsalva maneuver (BNP-V) and bladder neck descent (BND) were measured. Questionnaires were used to collect basic information including age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), past medical history, maternity history, and urinary incontinence related history. Mann-Whitney U test and multiple linear regression analysis were adopted to explore the influences of age, BMI, delivery mode and parity on normal parous women′s urethral mobility. Then, the study subjects were divided into different groups and the corresponding values of URA, BNP-V and BND were compared. Results:Compared with parous women with normal BMI and no history of vaginal delivery, those who were overweight and/or had a history of vaginal delivery were more likely to gain greater URA and BND ( P<0.05). The URA and BND were not significantly different between women with different times of cesarean sections ( P>0.05); while for women with a history of vaginal delivery, these two parameters increased with the increase of the number of transvaginal deliveries ( P<0.05). Conclusions:BMI and vaginal delivery are important risk factors for the urethral mobility of normal parous women. The urethral mobility increases with the increase of BMI and the number of vaginal deliveries.
