Background:Ribosomal protein L22-like 1(RPL22L1)exerts regulatory effects on various malignant tumors such as lung cancer,prostate cancer,and cervical cancer.However,its role in colorectal cancer(CRC)remains unclear.Aims:To investigate the expression of RPL22L1 in CRC and its role in patients' prognosis and glucose metabolism of tumor cells.Methods:A total of 142 newly diagnosed CRC patients admitted to the Taizhou First People's Hospital from February 2022 to June 2024 were enrolled.The expression levels of RPL22L1 mRNA and protein were detected by quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry,respectively.The correlation between RPL22L1 expression and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to evaluate the impact of RPL22L1 expression on the prognosis of CRC patients.RPL22L1 siRNA was transfected into SW480 cells to establish a low-expression cell model.Cell proliferation was assessed by CCK-8 assay,cell migration by Transwell chamber assay,and apoptosis by flow cytometry.Gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA)was performed to evaluate the effect of RPL22L1 on glucose metabolism of tumor cells.Results:The expression levels of RPL22L1 mRNA and protein were significantly higher in CRC tissues than in adjacent normal tissues(all P<0.05).The expression level of RPL22L1 mRNA was correlated with the TNM stage and carcinoembryonic antigen level of CRC(all P<0.05).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the cumulative survival rate of high RPL22L1 mRNA expression group was significantly lower than that of low-expression group(P=0.027).The expression level of RPL22L1 mRNA was significantly higher in SW480 cells than in normal intestinal epithelial cells(P<0.001).After inhibiting RPL22L1 expression,the proliferation and migration capacities of SW480 cells were significantly decreased(all P<0.05),the apoptosis rate was significantly increased(P=0.005),and the lactate level and relative glucose uptake level were significantly reduced(all P<0.05).GSEA indicated that RPL22L1 gene was associated with glycolysis/gluconeo-genesis(P=0.02).Conclusions:RPL22L1 is highly expressed in CRC and is associated with poor prognosis of patients,suggesting its potential as a molecular target for CRC therapy.Furthermore,RPL22L1 may promote the tumorigenesis and progression of CRC by modulating glucose metabolism.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of abnormal bone mineral density (BMD) in male patients with alcoholic cirrhosis.Methods:Clinical data of 72 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis admitted in Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2017 to July 2023 were enrolled as study group, and 40 age-and BMI-matched non-hepatopathy subjects were selected as control group.The incidence of abnormal BMD were compared between two groups. The serum levels of osteocalcin (OC), total procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide (TP1NP), β-C-terminal telopeptide of typeⅠcollagen (CTX) and 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25-(OH)VD] were measured and compared among patients with different Child-Pugh grades.Results:Among 72 alcoholic cirrhosis patients, there were 54 cases (75.0%) complicated with abnormal BMD, including 21 cases (29.2%) of bone loss and 33 cases (45.8%) of osteoporosis. In control group there were 15 subjects with abnormal bone mineral density, including 9 cases (22.5%) of bone loss and 6 cases (15.0%) of osteoporosis( χ2=5.623 and 15.900,both P<0.05). The average BMDs of L1-L4, femoral neck, intertrochanteric region and trochanter of the femur in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis were significantly lower than those in control group ( t=3.574, 8.640, 7.282, 7.958, 3.755, 5.573, 5.026,all P<0.05); the average BWDs of L1-L3 and hip joint in patients with Child-Pugh C were significantly lower than those in patients with Child-Pugh A and B ( t=1.414, 1.699, 3.786, 2.590, 8.763, 2.581, 1.392, 6.232,all P<0.05). The serum levels of 25-(OH)VD in alcoholic cirrhosis patients with Child-Pugh C grade were significantly lower than those with Child-Pugh A and B ( t=3.969 and 2.911, P<0.05); the serum calcium levels in patients with Child-Pugh C grade were lower than those with Child-Pugh A( t=3.627, P<0.05); while the TP1NP levels in patients with Child-Pugh C were higher than those with Child-Pugh A and B grades( t=6.722 and 5.034, P<0.05).The Child-Pugh grade was negatively correlated with 25-(OH)VD level( β=-0.767, P<0.05)and positively correlated with TP1NP level ( β=2.186, P<0.05). Conclusion:The incidence of bone loss and osteoporosis in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis is increased significantly, and the deterioration of their liver function is closely associated with an increased TP1NP level and decreased 25-(OH)VD levels.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults and is poorly controlled. Previous studies have shown that both macrophages and angiogenesis play significant roles in GBM progression, and co-targeting of CSF1R and VEGFR is likely to be an effective strategy for GBM treatment. Therefore, this study developed a novel and selective inhibitor of CSF1R and VEGFR, SYHA1813, possessing potent antitumor activity against GBM. SYHA1813 inhibited VEGFR and CSF1R kinase activities with high potency and selectivity and thus blocked the cell viability of HUVECs and macrophages and exhibited anti-angiogenetic effects both in vitro and in vivo. SYHA1813 also displayed potent in vivo antitumor activity against GBM in immune-competent and immune-deficient mouse models, including temozolomide (TMZ) insensitive tumors. Notably, SYHA1813 could penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and prolong the survival time of mice bearing intracranial GBM xenografts. Moreover, SYHA1813 treatment resulted in a synergistic antitumor efficacy in combination with the PD-1 antibody. As a clinical proof of concept, SYHA1813 achieved confirmed responses in patients with recurrent GBM in an ongoing first-in-human phase I trial. The data of this study support the rationale for an ongoing phase I clinical study (ChiCTR2100045380).

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of surgical site infection (SSI) after abdominal surgery.Methods:The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted. The clinical data of 567 patients undergoing abdominal surgery in 6 medical centers, including 445 cases in the Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University, 54 cases in the the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, 49 cases in the Shangqiu First People's Hospital, 10 cases in the Luoyang Central Hospital, 5 cases in the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology and 4 cases in the Henan Provincial People's Hospital, from June 1 to June 30, 2020 were collected. There were 284 males and 283 females, aged (51±18)years. Observation indicators: (1) incidence of SSI after surgery; (2) influencing factors of SSI. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination and telephone interview to detect the incidence of SSI. Patients without implant were followed up within postoperative 30 days, and patients with implant were followed up within postoperative 1 year. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measure-ment data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was performed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Univariate analysis was performed using the corresponding statistical methods. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Logistic stepwise regression model advance method. Results:(1) Incidence of SSI after surgery. All the 567 patients were followed up after surgery as planned. There were 27 cases with SSI after surgery including 9 cases with superficial incision infection, 9 cases with deep incision infection, 9 cases with organ/gap infection. Of the 27 cases with SSI after surgery, 18 cases with positive results of incisional microbial culture including 8 cases with positive results of Escherichia coli, 6 cases with positive results of Klebsiella pneumonia, 3 cases with positive results of Enterococcus faecium and 1 case with positive result of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. (2) Influencing factors of SSI. Results of univariate analysis showed that age, preoperative hemoglo-bin, preoperative albumin, preoperative fasting blood glucose, preoperative intestinal preparation, surgical type, surgical site, surgical incision type, duration of intensive cure unite, duration of post-operative hospital stay, duration of total hospital stay, operation time, hospital expense were related factors affecting the incidence of SSI of patients undergoing abdominal surgery ( χ2=40.12, Z=?4.22, ?2.21, ?4.75, χ2=7.07, 16.43, 38.06, 17.50, Z=?4.43, ?4.42, ?7.14, ?7.15, ?5.90, P<0.05) and the American Association of Anesthesiologists Classification, preoperative oral antibiotics, surgical methods and postoperative intensive care unit stay were related factors affecting the incidence of SSI of patients undergoing abdominal surgery ( P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that age, preopera-tive fasting blood glucose, preoperative intestinal preparation, surgical type, surgical site as appendix and rectum, surgical methods, surgical incision type as infective incision and polluted incision, operation time were independent factors affecting the incidence of SSI of patients undergoing abdo-minal surgery ( odds ratio=7.69, 1.21, 0.27, 5.82, 5.19, 19.08, 0.23, 27.76, 4.97, 1.01, 95% confidence intervals as 2.04?28.95, 1.04?1.41, 0.08?0.94, 1.36?24.85, 1.10?24.43, 4.48?81.25, 0.06?0.87, 2.54?303.53, 1.12?22.14, 1.01?1.02, P<0.05). Conclusion:Age, preoperative fasting blood glucose, preoperative intestinal preparation, surgical type, surgical site as appendix and rectum, surgical methods, surgical incision type as infective incision and polluted incision, operation time are independent factors affecting the incidence of SSI of patients undergoing abdominal surgery.
