[摘 要] 目的：探究甘氨胆酸（GCA）对肺腺癌A549细胞移植瘤小鼠放射治疗敏感性的影响及其机制。方法：建立A549人肺腺癌细胞裸鼠移植瘤模型，随机分为移植瘤对照组（对照组）、GCA组、放疗组（RT组）和GCA + 放疗组（GCA + RT组）。RT组和GCA + RT组接受单次10  Gy照射，GCA组及GCA + RT组连续7 d每日灌胃GCA 280  mg/kg。间隔2 d测量1次移植瘤体积，末次给药后处死小鼠并取移植瘤组织，检测移植瘤组织中超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）与谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶（GSH-Px）活性，qPCR法和WB法分别检测放疗关键基因（MCM6、ITGA6、CASP3等）mRNA和蛋白表达水平，H-E染色观察移植瘤组织的形态变化。通过GEO（GSE276500、GSE294906、GSE218171）及TCGA数据库数据验证放疗关键基因。结果：GCA单用对瘤体生长有一定抑制作用，但联合放疗的GCA + RT组相比单纯放疗组表现出放疗抵抗的效应（P < 0.05）。GCA处理显著提高移植瘤组织SOD活性（P < 0.01）、降低GSH-Px活性（P < 0.01），提示GCA可改变移植瘤抗氧化酶平衡，减弱放疗诱导的氧化应激。GCA干预上调移植瘤组织中MCM6与ITGA6 mRNA表达、下调CASP3 mRNA表达（均P < 0.05）。GCA + RT组移植瘤组织中的MCM6蛋白表达显著高于对照组（P < 0.05）。H-E染色显示，GCA组部分瘤组织坏死，而GCA + RT组坏死组织面积较RT组有所缩小。GEO和TCGA数据库验证支持MCM6、ITGA6高表达与放疗抵抗和预后不良相关。结论：GCA通过增强SOD活性、降低GSH-Px活性并上调ITGA6、MCM6的表达改变氧化应激与关键信号网络，从而削弱A549移植瘤对放疗的敏感性。

Objective To explore the causal relationship between immune cells and heart failure (HF), and the mediating role of serum metabolites, in order to identify potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Methods We employed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis method based on genome-wide association study (GWAS) data, analyzing the direct and indirect effects of 731 types of immune cells and 1 400 metabolites on HF. We selected valid instrumental variables and conducted statistical analyses using R software. The primary analysis was performed using the inverse variance weighted method, supplemented by MR-Egger analysis and weighted median method. The stability of the results was assessed through tests such as Cochran’s Q test. Results Our research found a negative causal relationship between PD-L1 on CD14−CD16+ and HF. Sensitivity analysis supported this result. The reverse MR analysis did not find an effect of HF on PD-L1 on CD14−CD16+, indicating that PD-L1 on CD14−CD16+ might play a unidirectional role in reducing the risk of HF. Further mediation MR analysis showed that PD-L1 on CD14−CD16+ might influence the risk of HF onset by regulating the levels of sphingomyelin (d17:1/14:0, d16:1/15:0), with a mediation effect ratio of 6.7%. Conclusion PD-L1 on CD14−CD16+ may reduce the risk of HF by elevating the levels of sphingomyelin (d17:1/14:0, d16:1/15:0), which provides a new perspective for understanding the pathogenesis of HF.

Objective To explore the clinical application effects of using non-drainage tube in mediastinal tumor resection via thoracoscopic subxiphoid approach. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients who underwent mediastinal tumor resection via thoracoscopic subxiphoid approach at the Fourth People&#39;s Hospital of Zigong City from January 2020 to February 2024. Patients were divided into a non-drainage tube group and a drainage tube group, and their perioperative data were compared. Results A total of 149 patients were included, and there were 111 patients of thymoma, 5 patients of teratoma, and 33 patients of cyst. There were 77 patients in the non-drainage tube group, including 40 males and 37 females, aged 28-79 (53.72±13.34) years; there were 72 patients in the drainage tube group, including 33 males and 39 females, aged 26-80 (55.60±11.06) years. The differences in postoperative pain score at 48 hours, maximum postoperative pain score, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative wound complications, and the number of temporary analgesics used after surgery between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The use of non-drainage tube technology in mediastinal tumor resection through thoracoscopic subxiphoid approach can reduce postoperative pain and the number of temporary analgesics used, as well as decrease the incidence of wound complications.

Definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) has become a cornerstone in the treatment of locally advanced esophageal cancer; however, local control remains suboptimal, and persistent lesions or locoregional recurrences after treatment are not uncommon. For patients without distant metastases but with local failure, whether surgical intervention can still offer curative potential remains a major clinical dilemma. Salvage esophagectomy (SE) offers potential long-term survival for selected patients, but this procedure is performed in the context of severe fibrosis, impaired local blood supply, and obscured anatomical planes following chemoradiotherapy, resulting in significantly higher perioperative risk compared to primary esophagectomy. Consequently, controversies exist regarding patient selection, preoperative restaging, choice of surgical approach, extent of lymphadenectomy, gastrointestinal reconstruction, and perioperative management. In recent years, with the refinement of restaging modalities such as PET/CT, the accumulation of experience in high-volume centers, and emerging evidence from clinical studies, the clinical role of SE has gradually shifted from a "high-risk salvage measure" to a "selective curative strategy aimed at achieving long-term survival in carefully selected patients". Nevertheless, standardized guidelines for patient selection, technical approaches, and perioperative management are still lacking. Based on current evidence and clinical experience, experts organized by the Integrated Esophageal Cancer Committee of Chinese Anti-Cancer Association systematically reviewed key issues regarding SE, including its definition, indications, preoperative evaluation, choice of surgical approach, lymphadenectomy, gastrointestinal reconstruction, and perioperative management, and formulated a Chinese expert consensus. This consensus aims to provide guidance for standardized assessment, appropriate referral, individualized surgical decision-making, and optimized perioperative management of patients with locoregional failure after dCRT. Ultimately, this will increase the likelihood of R0 resection, reduce the risk of severe complications, and promote the safer, more judicious, and standardized implementation of SE in high-risk scenarios.

Objective To investigate the impact of COVID-19 infection on the early clinical outcomes of patients undergoing valve replacement. Methods Perioperative data of patients who underwent single valve replacement at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chinese People&#39;s Liberation Army Medical University from January to February 2023 were consecutively collected. Based on COVID-19 infection status, patients were divided into a COVID-19 group and a non-COVID-19 group. The perioperative data were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 136 patients were included, comprising 53 males and 83 females, with a mean age of (53.4±10.2) years. There were 32 patients receiving aortic valve replacements, 102 mitral valve replacements, and 2 tricuspid valve replacements. The COVID-19 group comprised 70 patients, and the non-COVID-19 group included 66 patients. No statistical difference was observed in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups [9.09% (6/66) vs. 11.43% (8/70), P=0.654]. However, the COVID-19 group had longer postoperative mechanical ventilation duration [1 201.00 (1 003.75, 1 347.75) min vs. 913.50 (465.50, 1 251.00) min, P=0.001] and ICU stay [3 (2, 3) days vs. 2 (2, 3) days, P<0.001] compared to the non-COVID-19 group. Additionally, troponin I [4.76 (2.55, 7.93) ng/mL vs. 2.66 (1.19, 5.65) ng/mL, P=0.001] and brain natriuretic peptide [608.50 (249.75, 1 150.00) pg/mL vs. 192.00 (100.93, 314.75) pg/mL, P<0.001] levels were significantly higher in the COVID-19 group. Conclusion For patients with single valve disease undergoing elective surgery, short-term outcomes after recovery from COVID-19 infection are favorable, with no significant increase in in-hospital mortality or postoperative complication rates.

Objective To analyze the relationship between serum hyaluronic acid levels and Child classification of liver function in Steatosis patients. Methods A total of 110 Steatosis patients admitted to Shaanxi People&#39;s Hospital from January 2017 to September 2018 were selected There were 23 cases in Child a group, 52 cases in Child B group and 35 cases in Child C Group. Sex, age, body mass index (BMI) and serum hyaluronic acid (ha) were compared among the three groups. Results There were no significant differences in sex, age and BMI among Child A, Child B and Child C groups (P>0.05) . The level of serum hyaluronic acid in Child class C (91.39±24.67) was significantly higher than that in Child class B (38.26.9.36) and Child class A (29.55±6.97)（P<0.05）. There was no significant difference in serum hyaluronic acid levels between Child B (38.26.9.36) and Child A (29.55 ± 6.97) groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Serum hyaluronic acid levels are high in Steatosis patients with poor liver function.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of hospitalized children with pertussis.Methods The clinical data of 87 hospitalized children with pertussis admitted to Women and Children&#39;s Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen University from January 2019 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the age of the children,they were divided into group A(≤3 months of age,35 cases),group B(4-12 months of age,36 cases)and group C(>12 months of age,16 cases).The clinical features of children at different ages were compared.Results The majority of children with pertussis were<1 year old(81.61%),and August was the month of high incidence.Spastic cough(72.41%)was the main clinical manifestation.Other manifestations included redness or cyanosis,vomiting after coughing,crow echo,etc.There were statistically significant differences in the incidence of spastic cough,redness or cyanosis and the contact history of patients with chronic cough among three groups(P<0.05).There were significant differences in the incidence of pneumonia and the average length of hospital stay among three groups(P<0.05).There was significant difference in C-reactive protein level among three groups(P<0.05).Among 87 children with pertussis,37 cases(42.53%)were infected with other pathogens,among which virus infection was the most common.The treatment is effective with macrolides and compound sulfamethoxazole.Conclusion Pertussis is more common in infants under 1 year of age,and the incidence is high in August.Chronic cough patients with close contact may be the source of infection.Spastic cough is the main clinical symptom of children;the younger,the more common symptoms such as spastic cough,redness and cyanosis,the higher incidence of pneumonia and the longer hospital stay.

Objective To investigate the relationship between correcting abnormal glucose metabolism and mortality risk of malignant tumors of digestive system. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted. 1308 patients with abnormal glucose metabolism in our hospital from January 2019 were divided into exposed group (n=777) and non-exposed group (n=531) according to the presence or absence of glucose metabolism correction therapy. The patients were retrospectively followed up until December 2022. The incidence of digestive system tumors and the influencing factors of tumors were compared between the two groups. Results There were 31 patients with digestive system tumor and 9 patients died. The incidence of digestive system tumors was lower in the exposed group (3/777) than in the non-exposed group (28/531). The mortality rate in the exposed group (1/777) was lower than that in the non-exposed group (8/531). Cox regression model analysis showed that correcting abnormal glucose metabolism was a protective factor for the risk of death from malignant tumors of the digestive system in patients (HR value<1, P<0.05) ; increased FBG, combined abnormal lipid metabolism, increased pulse pressure difference, family history of malignant tumors, and alcohol consumption were shown as risk factors for the risk of death from malignant tumors of the digestive system in patients (HR values>1, P<0.05). Conclusion Correcting abnormal glucose metabolism is of positive significance in reducing the risk of death from malignant tumors of digestive system. Patients with increased FBG, abnormal lipid metabolism, increased pulse pressure difference, family history of malignant tumors and alcohol consumption should pay special attention to correct abnormal glucose metabolism in time.

Objective To analyze the effect of different environments risks on the prognosis of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods A total of 231 patients diagnosed with COPD who visited Mianyang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from April 2018 to January 2021 were selected as the study subjects and divided into two groups according to whether the residence was changed after discharge, that is, Mianyang Environmental Living Suzhou Environmental Living Group. The follow-up time was 2019 December to September 2021. The contents include relative humidity, temperature, PM_2.5, PM₁₀, air quality index, exposure to household smoking environment, and open windows for ventilation. The regional environment was mainly measured three times, namely October to February (expressed as cold period), June to August (expressed as warm period), March to May and September to October (expressed as suitable period). The family environment was followed up every 2 months by means of questionnaires and interviews, and detailed records were recorded. After the follow-up, the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and Modified Dyspnea Rating Score (mMRC) were analyzed. Concentration-response curves were used to analyze the influence of living environment exposure on the prognosis of COPD patients. The generalized additive model with semi-Poisson distribution as the connection function was used to study the influence of univariate and multifactor environmental factors on COPD. Results The air quality index of Mianyang was higher than that of Suzhou during the cold period, while that of Mianyang was lower than that of Suzhou during the suitable period. Meanwhile, the average relative humidity of Suzhou was higher than that of Mianyang during the warm period. The comparison of CAT and mMRC scores of COPD patients in the two regions in different quarters showed that the CAT and mMRC scores of COPD patients in Mianyang City were lower than those in Suzhou City during the cold period, and the difference between groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). PM_2.5 (warm period), PM₁₀ (warm period) and NO2 (suitable period) increased by 10μg/m³, 8μg/m³, 12μg/m³ and CO (suitable period) increased by 0.3mg/m³ respectively caused COPD function The scores of indicators CAT and mMRC increased. After adjusting for other pollutants, PM_2.5, CO were still related to the prognosis of COPD. Concentration-response curve results showed that the risk of increasing CAT score decreased with increasing daily windowing time; conversely, the risk of increasing CAT score was increasing with increasing environmental exposure to smoking. Conclusion Pollutant exposure and living environment factors have a significant impact on the prognosis of COPD, and improving the environment is of great significance for the recovery of COPD pulmonary function.
