Rapid and ultrasensitive detection of pathogen-associated biomarkers is vital for the early diagnosis and therapy of bacterial infections.Herein,we developed a close-packed and ordered Au@AgPt array coupled with a cascade triggering strategy for surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS)and colorimetric identification of the Staphylococcus aureus biomarker micrococcal nuclease(MNase)in serum samples.The trimetallic Au@AgPt nanozymes can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB)molecules to SERS-enhanced oxidized TMB(oxTMB),accompanied by the color change from colorless to blue.In the presence of S.aureus,the secreted MNase preferentially cut the nucleobase AT-rich regions of DNA sequences on magnetic beads(MBs)to release alkaline phosphatase(ALP),which subsequently mediated the oxTMB reduction for inducing the colorimetric/SERS signal fade away.Using this"on-to-off"triggering strategy,the target S.aureus can be recorded in a wide linear range with a limit of detection of 38 CFU/mL in the colorimetric mode and 6 CFU/mL in the SERS mode.Meanwhile,the MNase-mediated strategy characterized by high specificity and sensitivity successfully discriminated between patients with sepsis(n=7)and healthy participants(n=3),as well as monitored the prog-nostic progression of the disease(n=2).Overall,benefiting from highly active and dense"hot spot"substrate,MNase-mediated cascade response strategy,and colorimetric/SERS dual-signal output,this methodology will offer a promising avenue for the early diagnosis of S.aureus infection.

Objective:To investigate the spatial distribution patterns of local tumor progression(LTP)after microwave ablation(MWA)for colorectal liver metastases(CRLMs)and identify high-risk progression zones.Methods:A total of 471 CRLM lesions from 246 patients treated with MWA at the Chinese PLA General Hospital between September 2009 and March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Three-dimensional visualized MRI image fusion technology was employed to evaluate the spatial relationship between ablation margins(AM)and LTP. The liver was partitioned into nine specific anatomical regions. Machine learning(Boruta algorithm)was used to assess the importance of these regions on LTP risk. Multivariate analysis of LTP was performed at the tumor level and at the patient level using the Cox mixed effects model and the Cox regression model,respectively.Results:LTP occurred in 115 lesions,with an LTP rate of 40.0%(80/200)in ablated lesions which were located in the high-risk progression area,and 12.9%(35/271)in low-risk progression area. Multivariate analysis identified AM < 5 mm,tumor size ≥3 cm and location in high-risk zones as independent risk factors for LTP. Notably,LTP in high-risk zones predominantly clustered around the ablation needle tip.Conclusions:Post-MWA LTP in CRLMs exhibits distinct spatial clustering,particularly at the needle tip within high-risk progression zones. These findings provide critical insights for optimizing ablation strategies and improving clinical outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of puncture biopsy for the diagnosis of vessels that encapsulate tumor clusters (VETC) and macrotrabecular-massive (MTM) subtypes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:One hundred and eighty-four patients with HCC who underwent surgical resection at the Fifth Medical Centre of Chinses PLA General Hospital from November 2023 to July 2024 were prospectively collected, including 154 males and 30 females, aged (57.1±8.6) years. By simulating the clinical puncture procedure, puncture biopsy tissue specimens were obtained postoperatively from the patient's isolated tumors. The puncture biopsies and surgical resection specimens were stained with HE and CD34, and evaluated for VETC and MTM. Patients were divided into two groups based on the histopathological VETC results of surgically resected specimens: the VETC-positive group ( n=41) and the VETC-negative group ( n=143); and two groups based on the histopathological MTM results of surgically resected specimens: the MTM-positive group ( n=39) and the MTM-negative group ( n=145). Clinical data such as gender, age, tumor length, and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) were recorded. Logistic regression analysis was performed to screen the risk factors of VETC and MTM. Evaluating the diagnostic efficacy of puncture biopsy for VETC and MTM. Results:The results of multivariable logistic analysis showed that puncture biopsy VETC-positive ( OR=63.97, 95% CI: 16.28-251.29), grade of M2 microvascular invasion ( OR=5.07, 95% CI: 1.31-19.59) and tumor length ≥5 cm ( OR=3.42, 95% CI: 1.11-10.52) were the risk factors for VETC-positive (all P<0.05); whereas the risk factors for MTM-positive were only puncture biopsy MTM-positive ( OR=34.78, 95% CI: 12.06-100.29, P<0.001). Puncture biopsy correctly diagnosed VETC subtype in 163 patients with a diagnostic accuracy of 0.89, sensitivity of 0.61, specificity of 0.97, positive predictive value (PPV) of 0.83, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 0.90; MTM subtype was correctly diagnosed in 164 patients with a diagnostic accuracy of 0.89, sensitivity of 0.72, specificity of 0.94, PPV of 0.76, and NPV of 0.93. Using the three indicators of puncture biopsy diagnosis, tumor length and AFP level as a combined indicator, the accuracy to diagnose VETC was 0.83, sensitivity was 0.71, specificity was 0.87, PPV was 0.60, and NPV was 0.91; and the combined indicator diagnosis of MTM had a diagnostic accuracy of 0.85, a sensitivity of 0.82, specificity of 0.86, PPV of 0.68 and NPV of 0.95. Conclusion:Puncture biopsy has high specificity and accuracy in the diagnosis of VETC and MTM subtypes, but the sensitivity is relatively limited, and the role of puncture combined with clinical factors in improving diagnostic efficacy is limited.

On-site supervision is a risk-based regulatory system that requires the scientific development of supervision plans for quality risks and hidden dangers in pharmaceutical enterprises, the rational allocation of supervision resources based on their risk levels, and the implementation of classified supervision measures. In this study, the quality risk monitoring business support system is set up for pharmaceutical enterprises by establishing the quality risk expert database and quality risk monitoring index system for pharmaceutical enterprises based on the difficulty analysis of on-site drug supervision. Based on this support system, the quality risk classification method, the differentiated spot check strategy and business auxiliary visualization system are established. This support system is used to learn the risk level of pharmaceutical enterprises, so as to innovate supervision methods and optimize monitoring strategies. Taking Jiangxi Province as an example, it is verified that the support system can guide the risk assessment of sample enterprises, can improve the targeting of on-site drug supervision in the process of technical review, scheme editing, on-site implementation and comprehensive evaluation, and can effectively improve the quality and efficiency of supervision.

Objective To explore the effect of myotubularin-related protein 6(MTMR6)on the invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 and the potential molecular mechanism.Methods By analyzing the sequencing results of liver cancer tissues and adjacent tissues in Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database,MTMR6 gene was screened out,and Spearman analysis was used to analyze the correlation of MTMR6 and pathway in the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database.Finally,the interaction between MTMR6 and signaling pathway proteins was analyzed with Genemania database.Then the expression of MTMR6 in human normal liver cell line LO-2 and hepatoma cell lines Huh-7 and HepG2 were measured and compared among the cell lines.Then HepG2 cells was selected as the study object.After MTMR6 gene was knocked down or over-expressed in HepG2 cells,Transwell assay was employed to observe invasion ability,and Western blotting was adopted to detect the expression of MTMR6,PI3K,p-PI3K,AKT,p-AKT,mTOR,p-mTOR MMP-2 and MMP-9.Results The expression of MTMR6 was significantly higher in the hepatocellular carcinoma tissues than the paracancer tissues,and it was in a positive linear correlation with PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway(P<0.01),showing interaction with PI3K,AKT and mTOR.The expression level of MTMR6 was significantly higher in the HepG2 cells than the LO-2 and Huh-7 cells(P<0.01).Over-expression of MTMR6 obviously enhanced invasion ability(P<0.01),while its knockdown decreased the ability(P<0.01)in HepG2 cells.Knockdown of MTMR6 gene also resulted in decreased phosphorylation of PI3K,AKT and mTOR,and expression levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9(P<0.01),while over-expression of MTMR6 promoted the phosphorylation of PI3K,AKT and mTOR,and up-regulated the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9(P<0.01).In addition,LY294002(a specific PI3K inhibitor)treatment could block the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and down-regulate the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9(P<0.01),but had no effect on MTMR6 expression.Conclusion MTMR6 may promote the invasion of hepatoma cells through activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
