[摘 要] 目的：探讨绿茶单体表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯（EGCG）对大鼠肝癌发生过程中肠道菌群结构变化的影响。方法：建立二乙基亚硝胺（DEN）诱导的肝癌大鼠模型。将26只SD大鼠随机分成3组，分别为正常对照组、肝癌组和EGCG干预组。从实验开始第1天起，EGCG干预组每日给予EGCG（40 mg/kg）灌胃，正常对照组和肝癌组给予等量生理盐水灌胃，1次/日，持续至第20周。灌胃结束后，采集大鼠粪便样本，提取DNA，进行高通量16S rRNA V3-V4区测序；处死大鼠，取肝，观察肿瘤形成情况，并计算肝癌发生率。对测序数据进行生物信息学分析：经质控、聚类获得操作分类单元（OTU）表，据此计算α多样性指数（包括Observed species、Chao1、Shannon和Simpson指数），并进行β多样性分析。同时，对物种进行分类学注释，比较各组间菌群组成与丰度差异。结果： EGCG干预组大鼠（8只）肝脏肿瘤形成率明显低于肝癌组（10只）（50% vs 100%， P = 0.023），正常对照组（8只）大鼠无肿瘤发生。在肠道菌群方面，肝癌组操作分类单元（OTU）数量远低于正常对照组（P <0.001），而EGCG干预组OTU数量总体上高于肝癌组（P = 0.021）。α多样性分析显示，肝癌组Shannon指数低于正常对照组（P < 0.05）；此外，与肝癌组相比，EGCG干预组的Observed species指数、Chao1指数、Shannon指数和Simpson指数均显著提高（P < 0.05）。β多样性分析及主坐标分析（PCoA）表明，三组肠道菌群结构存在显著分离（PERMANOVA， R² = 0.3918， P = 0.001），其中EGCG干预组群落结构介于肝癌组与正常对照组之间，并更接近于正常对照组。肝癌组大鼠较正常大鼠肠道菌群中链球菌等潜在致病菌富集，丁酸产生相关菌（如丁酸球菌属、瘤胃球菌属等）丰度显著降低（P < 0.05）。相比之下，在EGCG干预肝癌发生过程中，大鼠肠道菌群结构相对稳定。厚壁菌门/拟杆菌门比值较肝癌组显著提高（P < 0.05），益生菌（如双歧杆菌属、乳杆菌属等）和丁酸产生相关菌（如丁酸球菌属）富集。结论：EGCG干预可降低DEN诱导的大鼠肝癌发生率，并有助于稳定肠道菌群结构，其作用可能与增加菌群多样性、促进益生菌及丁酸产生菌富集、恢复菌群平衡有关。

BACKGROUND:Psoralen has a strong anti-osteoporotic activity and may have a restorative effect on chemotherapy-induced osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To explore the restorative effect of psoralen on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in mice inhibited by cyclophosphamide and its mechanism. METHODS:C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured.Effect of psoralen on viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was detected by MTT assay.Osteogenic induction combined with alkaline phosphatase staining was used to determine the optimal dose of psoralen to restore the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells inhibited by cyclophosphamide.The mRNA expression levels of Runx2,alkaline phosphatase,Osteocalcin,osteoprotegerin,and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related genes Wnt1,Wnt4,Wnt10b,β-catenin,and c-MYC were measured by RT-qPCR at different time points under the intervention with psoralen.The protein expression of osteogenic specific transcription factor Runx2 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway related genes Active β-catenin,DKK1,c-MYC,and Cyclin D1 was determined by western blot assay at different time points under the intervention with psoralen. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There was no significant effect of different concentrations of psoralen on the viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.The best recovery of the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells caused by cyclophosphamide was under the intervention of psoralen at a concentration of 200 μmol/L.(2)Psoralen reversed the reduction in osteogenic differentiation marker genes Runx2,alkaline phosphatase,Osteocalcin and osteoprotegerin mRNA expression and Runx2 protein expression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells caused by cyclophosphamide conditioned medium.(3)Psoralen reversed the decrease in Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related genes Wnt4,β-catenin,c-MYC mRNA and Active β-catenin,c-MYC,and Cyclin D1 protein expression and the increase in DKK1 protein expression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells caused by cyclophosphamide conditioned medium.(4)The results showed that cyclophosphamide inhibited osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in mice,and psoralen had a restorative effect on it.The best intervention effect was achieved at a concentration of 200 μmol/L psoralen,and this protective effect might be related to the activation of Wnt4/β-catenin signaling pathway by psoralen.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of meropenem exposure and degradation levels on clinical efficacy in patients with purulent meningitis （PM）. METHODS A total of 131 PM patients treated with meropenem at the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2022 to June 2025 were prospectively included. Relevant data were collected and divided into a cured group （91 cases） and a non-cured group （40 cases） based on the efficacy. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine the concentration of meropenem and its open-loop metabolites. Risk factors that affect efficacy were screened， and their predictive power and correlation were evaluated by univariate analysis， and multivariate Logistic regression analysis， receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves， and correlation analysis. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that serum creatinine， creatinine clearance rate， minimum inhibitory concentration of meropenem ≥16 μg/mL， cerebrospinal fluid red blood cell count， cerebrospinal fluid white blood cell count， cerebrospinal fluid glucose content， blood trough concentration， blood open-loop metabolite concentration/trough concentration ratio， and intrathecal injection were all correlated with efficacy （P＜0.05）. The results of multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that serum creatinine blood open-loop metabolite concentration/trough concentration ratio， intrathecal injection， and cerebrospinal fluid glucose content were influencing factors for suboptimal anti-infective ltt efficacy （P＜0.05）. ROC curve analysis showed that when the blood open-loop metabolite concentration/trough concentration ratio was greater than 2.854 （AUC＝0.647）， serum creatinine was less than 59.5 μmol/L （AUC＝0.647）， and cerebrospinal fluid glucose content was less than 3.37 mmol/L （AUC＝0.709）， the risk of treatment failure significantly increased （P＜0.05）. Correlation analysis showed that the blood trough concentration of meropenem was positively correlated with the concentration of its open-loop metabolites （R 2＝0.134 5， P＜0.000 1）. CONCLUSIONS Insufficient exposure level and rapid degradation of meropenem are key mechanisms affecting the anti-infective efficacy of PM. Elevated blood open-loop metabolite concentration/ trough concentration ratio， low serum creatinine level， lack of intrathecal injection， and low cerebrospinal fluid glucose content are independent risk factors for poor efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the role of Golgi protein 73(GP73)in the diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis(PBC)and its association with disease progression and therapeutic efficacy monitoring.Methods:Serum samples were collected from 70 PBC pa-tients,36 patients with liver diseases other than autoimmune liver disease(non-AILD group),and 40 healthy controls(HC group),and ELISA was used to measure the serum level of GP73.For the inpatients with PBC,serum samples were collected before and after treat-ment to measure GP73.Results:There was a significant difference in the distribution of serum GP73 concentration between the PBC group,the non-AILD group,and the HC group(P<0.001),and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve showed that GP73 had an area under the ROC curve of 0.839 in the diagnosis of PBC.Serum GP73 level was positively correlated with aspartate amino-transferase(AST)(r=0.337,P=0.009),alkaline phosphatase(ALP)(r=0.380,P=0.003),total bilirubin(r=0.330,P=0.010),and direct bilirubin(r=0.371,P=0.004),while it was negatively correlated with prothrombin activity(r=-0.329,P=0.036)and cholinesterase(r=-0.518,P<0.001).The PBC patients with liver cirrhosis had a significantly higher serum GP73 level than those without liver cirrhosis(P=0.002).There was no significant difference in GP73 content between the patients with positive anti-mitochondrial antibodies-M2,anti-BCOADC-E2PDC-E2 OGDC-E2 antibodies,and anti-SPl00 antibodies and those with negative antibodies.The PBC patients had significant reductions in the serum levels of AST,ALP,gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase,and GP73 after liver-protecting treatment and improvement in cholestasis(P<0.05).Conclusion:GP73 plays an important role in the diagnosis,disease progression,and efficacy monitoring of PBC and is expected to become a potential disease marker for PBC.

Objective:To explore the funding status and research hotspots of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) for projects in the field of TCM for the prevention and treatment of heart failure.Methods:The research projects of TCM in the prevention and treatment of heart failure funded were retrieved from NSFC Big Data Knowledge Management Service Platform from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2023. Excel 2022 software was used to analyze the data of the number of funded projects, the amount of funding, the supporting units and the regions. VOSviewer 1.6.20 software was used to analyze the co-occurrence of keywords with frequency≥3.Results:A total of 202 research projects were funded with a total funding amount of 89.8 million RMB, and the number and amount of projects showed a fluctuating upward trend. The funding categories were mainly general programs and youth science foundation projects. There were 42 supporting units involved, and TCM universities and colleges were the main recipients of funding. Regional distribution was uneven, mainly in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and other regions. There were 17 secondary discipline codes involved, and the discipline categories were concentrated in Internal Medicine of TCM (H3108), Clinical Basis of Integrative Medicine (H3302) and Cardiovascular Pharmacology of Chinese Medicine (H3209). Therapeutic modalities covered compounding, monomers, proprietary Chinese medicines, and drug pairs, and research hotspots included aspects of myocardial energy metabolism remodeling, mitochondrial autophagy, macrophage polarization, endoplasmic reticulum stress, calcium homeostasis, ferroptosis, exosomes, micro-RNAs, and so on.Conclusion:NSFC has provided strong support to the research in the field of TCM for heart failure. In the future, the supporting units should pay attention to the interdisciplinary integration and development to promote the vigorous development of TCM.

Objective:To explore the genetic etiology and clinical phenotype of Feingold syndrome due to chromosome 2p24.3p24.2 microdeletion.Methods:The clinical data of a child admitted to Henan Provincial People′s Hospital in November 2021 and diagnosed as Feingold syndrome type 1 (FGLDS1) associated with chromosome 2p24.3p24.2 microdeletion were collected. The clinical and genetic variation characteristics of the patient were summarized, and 10 patients with chromosome 2p microdeletion reported until November 2022 were reviewed.Results:The boy was 12 years and 5 months old. He presented with backward physical development, motor development retardation, low intelligence, special body and facial appearance, finger developmental deformity and other manifestations, accompanied by hyperactivity and aggressive behavior, impulsive irritability, self-injury and other behavior problems. The proband showed normal chromosome karyotype; the genome-wide copy number variant sequencing and trio-whole exome sequencing revealed a 2.61 Mb deletion at chromosome 2p24.3p24.2 region, and 10 genes including MYCN gene (exons 1 to 3) in the deleted region.The same deletion was not found in either of his parents. The genetic features of 11 cases (including this case) with chromosome 2p microdeletion were summarized, all of whom had insufficient haploid dosage of the MYCN gene due to chromosome 2p microdeletion, and the clinical manifestations of these 11 patients matched the clinical diagnosis of FGLDS1. Conclusion:The proband is consistent with the clinical presentation of the typical Feingold syndrome, and the haploinsufficiency of the MYCN gene due to the microdeletion of chromosome 2 is the genetic etiology of the proband.

Neck dissection(ND)is one of the main treatment methods for oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Although ND type is in con-stant improvement,but intraoperative peal-pull-push injury of the accessory nerve,muscle,muscle membrane,fascia and ligament induced shoulder syndrome(SS)is still a common postoperative complication,combined with the influence of radiochemotherapy,not only can cause pain,stiffness,numbness,limited dysfunction of shoulder neck and arm,but also may have serious impact on patient's life quality and phys-ical and mental health.At present,there is still a lack of a systematic evaluation and rehabilitation management program for postoperative SS of oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors.Based on the previous clinical practice and the current available evidence,refer to the relevant lit-erature at home and abroad,the experts in the field of maxillofacial tumor surgery and rehabilitation were invited to discuss,modify and reach a consenusus on the etiology,assessment diagnosis,differential diagnosis,rehabilitation strategy and prevention of SS,in order to provide clinical reference.

Objective:To compare the prognostic values of different classification by using transpulmonary pressure gradient (TPG), diastolic pressure gradient (DPG) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in patients with pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease (PH-LHD), and investigated hemodynamic and clinical factors associated with mortality in patients with PH-LHD.Methods:This was a single-center prospective cohort study. In-hospital patients diagnosed with PH-LHD via right heart catheterization at the Department of Cardiology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, from September 2013 to December 2019 were enrolled. Patients were divided according to TPG (cutoff value 12 mmHg; 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), DPG (cutoff value 7 mmHg), PVR (cutoff value 3 Wood Units), and the combination of TPG and PVR. Baseline characteristic was recorded. All patients were followed up until the occurrence of endpoint event, defined as all-cause death that occurred during the follow-up period, or until April 18, 2022. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to compare the predictive value of 3 classification methods for all-cause death in PH-LHD patients. The optimal cutoff values were calculated using Jorden index. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier analysis, and log-rank test was used to compare the predictive efficacy of classification methods based on optimal cutoff values or guidance-recommended thresholds for the survival of PH-LHD patients. Variables showing statistical significance in the univariate analysis were incorporated into multivariate Cox regression model to analyze the independent risk factors for all-cause mortality.Results:A total of 243 patients were enrolled, aged (54.9±12.7) years old, including 169 (69.5%) males. During a median follow-up of 57 months, there were 101 (41.6%) deaths occurred. Grouping results were as follows: (1) TPG: TPG≤12 mmHg group 115 patients, TPG>12 mmHg group 128 patients; (2) DPG: DPG<7 mmHg group 193 patients, DPG≥7 mmHg group 50 patients; (3) PVR: PVR≤3 Wood Units group 108 patients, PVR>3 Wood Units group 135 patients; (4) TPG and PVR: TPG≤12 mmHg and PVR≤3 Wood Units group 89 patients, TPG>12 mmHg and PVR>3 Wood Units group 109 patients. PVR ( AUC=0. 698,95% CI:0.631-0.766) had better predictive value for all-cause mortality than TPG ( AUC=0.596, 95% CI: 0.523-0.669) and DPG ( AUC=0.526, 95% CI: 0.452-0.601) (all P<0.05). The optimal cutoff values for TPG, DPG, and PVR were13.9 mmHg, 2.8 mmHg, and 3.8 Wood Units, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis based on the optimal cutoff values or guidance-recommended thresholds showed that PVR and TPG were the predictors of survival ( P<0.05), while DPG did not showed significance ( P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age, PVR and log 2N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide were independent risk factors for all-cause mortality in PH-LHD patients (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Classification according to PVR was most valuable in predicting all-cause death in PH-LHD patients, while TPG showed moderate predictive ability and DPG had no predictive value.

Objective:With the help of SWOT(S: internal strengths, W: internal weaknesses, O: external opportunities, T: external threats)analysis, to explore the internal and external conditions of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy applied to improve the negative emotions of patients with coronary heart disease, and to propose development strategies.Methods:SWOT analysis was used to analyze and sort out the internal strengths and internal weaknesses, external opportunities and external threats of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy in improving the negative emotions of patients with coronary heart disease.Results:The internal strengths of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy in improving the negative emotions of patients with coronary heart disease were significant therapeutic effect, strong operability and high cost-effectiveness. The internal weaknesses included excessive dependence on patients′ treatment enthusiasm, and a lack of psychological training among nurses. The external opportunities included demand support, technical support, and theoretical support. The external threats were the lack of large-scale empirical research and the risk of patient personal information leakage.Conclusions:In the clinical application of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy to improve the negative emotions of patients with coronary heart disease, both strengths and weaknesses coexist, and opportunities and threats coexist. Only by taking strengths of opportunities to overcome weaknesses, improve the autonomy and enthusiasm of patients in treatment, and increase the psychological training of medical staff, can internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy be further promoted in the clinical application of improving the negative emotions of patients with coronary heart disease.

Surgical operation is the main treatment of oral and maxillofacial tumors.Dysphagia is a common postoperative complication.Swal-lowing disorder can not only lead to mis-aspiration,malnutrition,aspiration pneumonia and other serious consequences,but also may cause psychological problems and social communication barriers,affecting the quality of life of the patients.At present,there is no systematic evalua-tion and rehabilitation management plan for the problem of swallowing disorder after oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery in China.Combining the characteristics of postoperative swallowing disorder in patients with oral and maxillofacial tumors,summarizing the clinical experience of ex-perts in the field of tumor and rehabilitation,reviewing and summarizing relevant literature at home and abroad,and through joint discussion and modification,a group of national experts reached this consensus including the core contents of the screening of swallowing disorders,the phased assessment of prognosis and complications,and the implementation plan of comprehensive management such as nutrition management,respiratory management,swallowing function recovery,psychology and nursing during rehabilitation treatment,in order to improve the evalua-tion and rehabilitation of swallowing disorder after oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery in clinic.
