Objective:To evaluate the value of ultrasound radiomics combined with machine learning for early diagnosis of seronegative Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (SN-HT) .Methods:This retrospective study included 164 patients from Liaoning Provincial People’s Hospital , Lixin County People’s Hospital, Linghai Dalinghe Hospital, Fengcheng Phoenix Hospital, who underwent thyroidectomy for solitary nodules with normal thyroid function between Nov. 2016 and Jan. 2024. Postoperative pathology confirmed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) in some cases, who were further categorized into antibody-positive and antibody-negative groups based on serum antibody status. Patients without Hashimoto’s thyroiditis served as the control group. A total of 298 ultrasound images were analyzed. Radiomics features were extracted from hypoechoic non-nodular areas within 0.5 cm surrounding the tumor. Two senior pathologists and two senior ultrasound physicians independently assessed lymphocytic infiltration, eosinophilic changes of follicular epithelium, and the proportion of hypoechoic areas in pathology and ultrasound images, respectively. A machine learning model, CCH-NET, was developed using linear regression and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) techniques. The dataset was divided into a training set (80%) and a validation set (20%) to compare the diagnostic accuracy of CCH-NET with that of senior ultrasound physicians. Results:In internal validation, CCH-NET achieved a diagnostic accuracy of 88.89% for both antibody-positive and antibody-negative groups, significantly higher than the 66.67% accuracy of senior ultrasound physicians ( P<0.01). In external validation, CCH-NET achieved 75.00% and 66.67% accuracy for the two groups, compared to 50.00% by senior ultrasound physicians. For the control group, both methods achieved 93.33% accuracy. The AUC of CCH-NET was 0.848, outperforming senior ultrasound physicians (0.681) ,demonstrating superior diagnostic performance. Conclusion:The radiomics-based CCH-NET model, using non-nodular hypoechoic areas as a specific indicator, can accurately identify early SN-HT in euthyroid patients. It significantly outperforms senior ultrasound physicians, improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing missed diagnoses.

Objective To reveal the detailed histological characteristics of pyramidal neuron cell bodies and their axonal projections along the corticospinal tract in the primary motor cortex(M1)of the brain,by using the biotinylated dextran amine(BDA)neural tracing technique combined with panoramic and local microscopic imaging technologies.Methods A total of 100 nL of 10％BDA(10,000 molecular weight)was injected into M1 region using stereotaxic system.The distribution of BDA labeling along the corticospinal tract was continuously tracked with panoramic tissue scanning analysis system.Detailed observations of the histological characteristics of BDA labeling were carried out with laser confocal microscope.Results It is more convenient to observe the overall distribution of BDA neural labeling by using the panoramic tissue scanning analysis system.Around the injection site in M1,the BDA labeling was shown in the somas of pyramidal neurons in layer V.In the M1 region corresponding to the contralateral site of the injection site and ipsilateral primary sensory cortex,BDA showed predominantly the anterograde labeled nerve fibers accompanied by a few retrograde labeled neurons.Besides,BDA labeled nerve fibers-including bundles and terminals-projecting to regions such as the ipsilateral striatum,thalamus,internal capsule,cerebral peduncle,and pons,and further reaching the contralateral spinal cord via the brainstem pyramidal decussation.Confocal microscopy and its 3D reconstruction system facilitated detailed analysis of the local microscopic features of BDA labeling,revealing retrograde labeled neuron cell bodies,dendrites and their spines,as well as anterograde labeled nerve fibers and their terminals.Conclusions These findings demonstrated that the integration of traditional BDA neural tracing with panoramic tissue scanning analysis and confocal microscopy provided an effective approach to the observation and analysis of long-projection neural circuits from panoramic to local perspectives,with broad application prospects.

AIM:The aim of this study was to explore the effects of Yiqi-Yangyin-Quyu prescription(YP)on skeletal muscle injury and related metabolic disorders in mice with Sj?gren syndrome(SS),and to clarify the role of hy-droxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase trifunctional multienzyme complex subunit beta(Hadhb)in mediating the effect of YP on skeletal muscle in SS.METHODS:The SS mice underwent YP treatment for 8 weeks.The morphological changes of the submandibular gland and muscle tissue were examined using hematoxylin-eosin staining.The mitochondrial status in mus-cle tissue was assessed through transmission electron microscopy.Additionally,combined transcriptome and proteome se-quencing was conducted on skeletal muscle samples.The omics sequencing results were validated by RT-qPCR.Immuno-fluorescence was used to confirm the levels of key proteins involved in the P53/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma(PPARG)signaling pathway.Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were employed to determine the levels of Hadhb key targets.RESULTS:Combined transcriptome and proteome analysis identified 1 523 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)and 182 differentially expressed proteins(DEPs)between the muscle tissue of SS mice(model group)and that of control animals(ICR group),12 of which showed co-differential expression at both transcriptomic and proteomic levels.Compared with model group,1 232 genes and 432 proteins were found to be differentially expressed in the muscle tissue of the mice in YP group.Among these,23 exhibited co-differential expression at both mRNA and protein levels.Gene Ontology(GO)analysis showed that the DEGs and DEPs between ICR and model groups were mainly involved in ener-gy metabolism and fatty acid oxidation,while the DEGs and DEPs between YP and model groups were primarily associated with sarcomere tissue and actin structure.Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis indi-cated that the DEGs and DEPs between ICR and model groups and between model and YP groups were enriched in the com-plement and coagulation cascade and lipid and pyruvate metabolism.The RT-qPCR validation results were consistent with those of the transcriptome analysis.Furthermore,the protein expression of the tumor suppressor P53 was significantly de-creased in YP group compared with model group,whereas that of PPARG was significantly increased.Western blot analy-sis showed that compared with ICR group,Hadhb protein expression was significantly decreased in model group,whereas the opposite trend was detected in YP group.CONCLUSION:The SS-related skeletal muscle damage is closely related to amino acid metabolism disorder and fatty acid degradation.Treatment with YP modulates innate immune defenses,lipid metabolism and energy metabolism in SS,and Hadhb is the key target of YP in SS-related skeletal muscle.

Objective:To investigate the complications, along with their diagnosis and management, that follow local excision for rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy.Methods:The clinical data of 53 patients with rectal cancer who underwent local resection after neoadjuvant treatment in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January, 2010 to December, 2024 were retrospectively collected for this descriptive case series study. Indications for local resection were: (1) age ≥ 18 years; (2) American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification I-III; (3) pathologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma; (4) distance from the lower edge of the tumor to the anal edge of less than 8 cm; and (5) use of preoperative neoadjuvant therapy. Contraindications of local resection were: (1) multiple primary colorectal cancer and (2) intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation, or and gastrointestinal bleeding that required emergency surgery. There were 36 males and 17 females, and the median age was 62 (26-85) years. After neoadjuvant therapy, the median distance from the tumor to the anal margin was 4.5 (range, 2.2-6.9) cm. The main outcome measures included: surgical details, pathological findings, postoperative complications, anorectal function, and oncological outcomes (recurrence and survival).Results:Surgical methods included transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) in 47 cases, transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) in 3 cases, and traditional transanal local resection in 3 cases. Of the 53 patients, 29 (54.7%) had pathological complete response (pCR), namely pT0 stage; 8 cases were pT1, 15 cases were pT2, and 1 case was pT3. Twenty-four cases (45.3%) had 33 complications. Clavien-Dindo grade I-II accounted for 97.0% (32/33), including 14 cases (26.4%) of wound dehiscence. Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) occurred in 7 cases (13.2%), including 5 minor cases and 2 major cases. Postoperative fever occurred in 7 cases (13.2%); urinary retention occurred in 3 cases (5.7%); and diarrhea occurred in 1 case (1.9%). Clavien Dindo grade III was observed in only 3.0% (1/33) of patients, which was a rectovaginal fistula. Among the 14 patients with wound dehiscence, 7 cases only suffered anal pain and were cured after symptomatic analgesic treatment. Five cases suffered anal pain with hematochezia but improved after treatment with essential diet, hemostasis, intravenous antibiotics, pain relief, and sitz bath. Two cases of secondary perianal infection were treated with intravenous antibiotics, local drainage, parenteral nutrition support, and symptomatic treatment, and the wounds healed within 2 months. One patient with rectovaginal fistula underwent transverse colostomy. After six months, the fistula healed and stoma reversal was performed. Seven patients with LARS received anal lifting exercise and defecation reflex training, and anal function recovered to the preoperative level after 1 year. Other complications improved after symptomatic treatment, pain relief, or catheter replacement. The median follow-up time was 60 months. Local recurrence occurred in 4 patients (7.5%) and distant metastasis occurred in 12 patients (22.6%). Seven patients (13.2%) died. The 5-year disease-free survival rate was 75.5%, and the 5-year overall survival rate was 86.8%.Conclusions:Local excision for rectal cancer following neoadjuvant therapy has a high incidence of complications, mainly wound-related, due to the decline of rectal wound healing ability after radiotherapy. However, most of the complications were relieved after symptomatic treatment, and the risk was controllable.

Objective: To examine the association between incidence of hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) and meteorological factors, so as to provide the basis for the prevention and control of HFMD. Methods: The number of HFMD cases in Jiading District, Shanghai Municipality from 2016 to 2023 were collected through the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and meteorological data were obtained from the Shanghai Meteorological Bureau. The associations of daily average temperature, daily average relative humidity, and daily average atmospheric pressure with the daily number of HFMD cases were analyzed using a distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM). Results: A total of 21 555 HFMD cases were reported in Jiading District from 2016 to 2023, with an average annual incidence of 132.57/100 000. There were 12 762 male cases (59.21%) and 8 793 female cases (40.79%). The main peak of incidence occurred from June to August, and the secondary peak was from October to December. DLNM analysis showed that the incidence risk of HFMD first increased and then decreased with the increase of daily average temperature, and first decreased and then increased with the prolongation of the lag time. The cumulative lag risk was higher when the daily average temperature ranged from 18.4 to 35.1 ℃, and the maximum cumulative lag effect was observed at 27.8 ℃ (RR=5.522, 95%CI: 4.751-6.370). The incidence risk of HFMD first increased and then decreased with the increase of daily average relative humidity, and first decreased, then increased and then decreased again with the prolongation of the lag time. The cumulative lag risk was higher when the daily average relative humidity ranged from 71.7% and 90.8%, and the maximum cumulative lag effect was observed at 81.8% (RR=1.603, 95%CI: 1.321-1.995). The incidence risk of HFMD decreased with the increase of daily average atmospheric pressure, and decreased with the prolongation of the lag time when the daily average atmospheric pressure was greater than 1 015.80 hPa. When the daily average atmospheric pressure was less than 1 015.80 hPa, the incidence risk of HFMD increased with the prolongation of the lag time. The maximum cumulative lag effect was observed at 986.80 hPa (RR=8.513, 95%CI: 1.401-36.625). Conclusion The incidence risk of HFMD in Jiading District initially increases and then decreases with increasing temperature and relative humidity, while it decreases with increasing atmospheric pressure, and these effects exhibit a lagged response.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a multifunctional protein involved in diverse cellular functions, notably DNA damage repair. Pharmacological inhibition of PARP1 has therapeutic benefits for various pathologies. Despite the increased use of PARP inhibitors, challenges persist in achieving PARP1 selectivity and effective blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration. The development of a PARP1-specific positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand is crucial for understanding disease biology and performing target occupancy studies, which may aid in the development of PARP1-specific inhibitors. In this study, we leverage the recently identified PARP1 inhibitor, AZD9574, to introduce the design and development of its ¹⁸F-isotopologue ([¹⁸F]AZD9574). Our comprehensive approach, encompassing pharmacological, cellular, autoradiographic, and in vivo PET imaging evaluations in non-human primates, demonstrates the capacity of [¹⁸F]AZD9574 to specifically bind to PARP1 and to successfully penetrate the BBB. These findings position [¹⁸F]AZD9574 as a viable molecular imaging tool, poised to facilitate the exploration of pathophysiological changes in PARP1 tissue abundance across various diseases.

S-methyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide (SMCO) is a non-protein sulfur-containing amino acid with a variety of functions. There are few reports on the enzymes catalyzing the biosynthesis of SMCO from S-methyl-L-cysteine (SMC). In this study, the flavin-containing monooxygenase gene derived from Schizosaccharomyces pombe (spfmo) was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and the enzymatic properties of the expressed protein were analyzed. The optimum catalytic conditions of the recombinant SpFMO were 30 ℃ and pH 8.0, under which the enzyme activity reached 72.77 U/g. An appropriate amount of Mg²⁺ improved the enzyme activity. The enzyme kinetic analysis showed that the K_m and k_cat/K_m of SpFMO on the substrate SMC were 23.89 μmol/L and 61.71 L/(min·mmol), respectively. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the yield of SMCO synthesized from SMC catalyzed by SpFMO was 12.31% within 9 h. This study provides reference for the enzymatic synthesis of SMCO.
