Objective To investigate the biological function of the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9(PCSK9)in prostate cancer(PCa)and its effect on ferroptosis sensitivity Methods Bioinformatics was used to analyze the relationship between the expression of PCSK9 and the prognosis of prostate cancer.The expression of PCSK9 in PCa cell lines were detected using RT-qPCR.PCa cells with PCSK9 knockdown were constructed using siRNA,and the The effect of PCSK9 on cell proliferation,migration,and invasion were detected using CCK-8 assays and Transwell assays.The Cancer Therapeutics Response Portal(CTRP)was employed to investigate the correlation between PCSK9 and ferroptosis drug sensitivity,and PCa cells with PCSK9 knockdown were treated with the ferroptosis inducer(RSL3)to detect the sensitivity to ferroptosis.Results Bioinformatics showed low expression of PCSK9 had longer disease specific survival(P<0.05).The results of the in vitro experiments showed that PCSK9 knockdown significantly inhibited the proliferation,migration,and invasion of PCa cells(P<0.001).Furthermore,CTRP analysis showed that cellular sensitivity to ferroptosis inducers correlated with the expression level of PCSK9.PCSK9 knockdown cells exhibited higher sensitivity to the ferroptosis inducer RSL3.Conclusion Knockdown of PCSK9 inhibits the proliferation,migration,and invasion of PCa cells,and increases the sensitivity of cells to ferroptosis inducers.PCSK9 may provide new insights for the treatment of PCa.

Expert consensus, as an important supplement to clinical practice guidelines, supports clinical decision-making when evidence is lacking or controversial. Compared to clinical practice guidelines, the presentation of expert consensus is more diverse. Currently, there are no reporting guidelines for expert consensus in clinical and public health decision-making. The RIGHT (Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare) checklist is the most commonly used international guideline reporting standard, and is often referred to when writing expert consensus. However, the RIGHT checklist does not include a section on consensus formation methods; while the ACCORD (ACcurate COnsensus Reporting Document) checklist includes reporting requirements for consensus formation methods, but not for reporting recommendations. Therefore, this article integrates the RIGHT and ACCORD reporting checklists and proposes an integrated reporting framework (TIMER-DO) to help authors combine these two commonly used international reporting standards and complete the standardized reporting of expert consensus.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

Objective:To explore the molecular basis for an individual with Bel subtype of the ABO blood type due to a novel c. 620T>C variant gene, and assess its impact on the structure of GTB transferase.Methods:An individual who had visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University on February 11, 2023 was selected as the study subject. ABO phenotyping was initially conducted with serological methods, which was followed by direct sequencing of 7 exons of the ABO gene. Subsequently, single-strand sequencing was carried out by using allele-specific primers, and the variant in the B transferase was homology-modeled using the Modeller software. The impact of the variant on the transferase′s spatial structure was analyzed with the PyMOL software. Results:The serological phenotype of the patient was identified as the Bel subtype. Direct sequencing revealed that she has harbored a novel c. 620T>C variant, resulting in a p. Leu207Pro substitution in the polypeptide chain. Combined with single-strand sequencing, her genotype was ultimately determined as ABO* BELnew/ ABO* O.01.02. Three-dimensional protein structure modeling showed that, compared with the wild type, the distance of one hydrogen bond between Proline and Glycine at position 272 has increased, along with disappearance of another hydrogen bond. Conclusion:The novel c. 620T>C (p.Leu207Pro) variant of B allele may affect the structural stability of the glycosyltransferase. The weakened enzyme activity in turn may lead to reduced B antigen expression, manifesting as the Bel subtype by serological analysis.

The integration of ideological and political education into medical courses is an important part of China's medical education reform in the new era.The construction of ideological and political education in clinical research curriculum is of great significance for the cultivation of clinical research talents with both ability and political integrity.Based on the clinical research curriculum offered by the Second Clinical College of Wuhan University,this paper introduced the necessity of ideological and political curriculum in clinical research curriculum.Through the learning situation analysis of the eight-year program students majoring in clinical medicine,the ideological and political teaching objectives were formulated,and the ideological and political elements and cases were selected in combination with the teaching content of clinical research curriculum.Combined with the characteristics of the medical professional methodology course,the diversified,innovative student-centered teaching methods were designed integrating the theoretical teaching,flipped classroom,scenario simulation teaching,problem-based learning,case-based learning and team based learning,and added the consideration of moral education dimension in the teaching evaluation,to carry out the ideological and political teaching design of clinical research curriculum.These measures promoted the organic integration of knowledge teaching,ability training and value building,and provided reference for the ideological and political education in clinical research curriculum.
