ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Shenqi Yiliu prescription reverses cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer cells by regulating the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） signaling pathway-mediated glycolysis. MethodsThe human ovarian cancer A2780 cell line was intervened with progressively increasing doses of cisplatin （1 g·L^-1） to establish the cisplatin-resistant cell line A2780cisR， and the cell sensitivity to cisplatin was examined by the cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay. High， medium， and low （39.9， 19.95， 9.98 g·kg^-1） doses of Shenqi Yiliu prescription-containing sera were used to treat A2780cisR cells for 48 h. Glucose consumption and lactate production were measured by the cuvette assay. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was employed to determine the activities of glucose transporter （GLUT）， phosphofructokinase （PFK）， and pyruvate kinase （PK）. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling （TUNEL） staining was used to detect apoptosis. Western blot was employed to quantify the protein levels of phosphorylated （p）-PI3K， p-Akt， p-mTOR， hexokinase 2 （HK2）， pyruvate kinase M2 （PKM2）， B-cell lymphoblastoma-2 （Bcl-2）， Bcl-2-associated X-protein （Bax）， and B-lymphoblastoma-2 gene-related promoter （Bad）. Real-time PCR was conducted to determine the mRNA levels of HK2， PKM2， Bax， Bcl-2， and Bad. ResultsThe median inhibitory concentration （IC₅₀） of cisplatin on A2780cisR cells was nearly 3 times that on A2780P cells. Compared with A2780P cells， A2780cisR cells showed increased glucose consumption， lactate production， GLUT， PFK， and PK activities， and mRNA and protein levels of p-PI3K， Akt， p-mTOR， HK2， PKM2， Bax （P<0.05）， and decreased apoptosis rate and Bcl-2 expression （P<0.05）. Compared with A2780cisR cells， medium- and high-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription reduced the glucose consumption， lactate production， GLUT， PFK， and PK activities， and mRNA and protein levels of p-PI3K， Akt， p-mTOR， HK2， PKM2， Bax， and Bad （P<0.05）， while increasing the apoptosis rate and Bcl-2 expression （P<0.05）. ConclusionShenqi Yiliu prescription can inhibit glycolysis mediated by the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway to promote apoptosis， thereby reversing cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer cells.

[摘 要] 目的：探讨胃肝样腺癌（HAS）的临床病理特征与免疫微环境异质性，筛选预后标志物，阐释其高侵袭性与疗效差的机制，为精准诊疗策略提供理论依据。方法:​​ 回顾性收集2013年1月至2025年5月期间海军军医大学第一附属医院与第二附属医院收治的65例HAS患者的临床信息及病理资料。采用免疫组织化学技术检测HAS​​肝样分化标志物、神经内分泌标志物​​等分子表达情况，通过Kaplan-Meier生存分析法明确与预后相关的靶点。利用多色免疫荧光技术鉴定肿瘤区域内免疫细胞亚群分布情况，以阐明其免疫微环境特征。结果：65例患者中，男性54例（83.1%），女性11例（16.9%），中位年龄68岁。肿瘤好发于贲门（40%），其次为胃窦（32.3%）和胃体（27.7%）。中位随访时间23.18个月，15例患者死亡，46例生存，4例失访。HAS的胃镜及手术标本大体观呈灰白色实性质硬肿物，镜下可见中低分化胃腺癌与肝细胞癌（HCC）样分化区交错分布。表达神经内分泌相关分子的HAS患者呈现出更多的淋巴结转移数量及更短的总生存期。免疫微环境解析显示，HAS总体缺乏免疫细胞浸润，呈现“冷肿瘤”特征；免疫细胞主要聚集于胃癌腺体周围区域，而在HCC样分化区域罕见淋巴细胞浸润。结论：HAS侵袭性强，根治性手术是主要治疗手段；神经内分泌转化提示不良预后，是个体化治疗的关键标志；免疫细胞浸润缺乏，可能是其免疫治疗响应不佳的原因。

ObjectiveTo analyze the effects of the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation （PPOS） protocol on embryo euploidy rate and clinical pregnancy outcomes in infertile patients. MethodsWomen who underwent Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy （PGT-A） cycles were selected as study participants （a total of 656 cycles and 3 081 blastocysts）. Participants were divided into two age groups （≤35 years and >35 years） and further stratified by ovarian stimulation protocol： the Progestin-Primed Ovarian Stimulation （PPOS） group （n=48 and 60， respectively）， the Luteal Phase Long Protocol （LP） group （n=160 and 57， respectively）， and the Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Antagonist Protocol （AP） group （n=220 and 111， respectively）. Baseline characteristics， ovarian stimulation outcomes， and embryo development parameters were compared among the three protocols within each age group. Additionally， clinical pregnancy outcomes of the first frozen embryo transfer （FET） cycle were compared. The primary outcome measure was the embryo euploidy rate. Results① In the ≤35 years age group， baseline follicle-stimulating hormone （bFSH） levels were significantly higher in the PPOS group compared to the LP and AP groups， and the bFSH/bLH ratio was significantly higher in the PPOS group than in the AP group （P < 0.05）. In the >35 years age group， bFSH levels in both the PPOS and AP groups were significantly higher than in the LP group （P < 0.05）.② In the ≤35 years group， there were no significant differences in the rates of metaphase II （MII） oocytes， 2-pronuclei （2 PN） zygotes， cleavage， 2 PN cleavage， blastocyst formation， high-quality embryos， or embryo euploidy between the PPOS group and either the LP or AP groups. However， the PPOS group showed significantly lower values for the following parameters compared to the other two groups： total oocytes retrieved， number of MII oocytes， number of 2 PN zygotes， number of cleaved embryos， number of 2 PN cleaved embryos， number of blastocysts formed， number of high-quality embryos， number of high-grade blastocysts， number of transferable embryos， number of cryopreserved embryos， number of biopsied blastocysts， number of euploid embryos， and the rate of obtaining at least one euploid embryo. In the >35 years group， no significant differences were observed among the PPOS， LP， and AP groups in the rates of MII oocytes， 2 PN cleavage， blastocyst formation， or in the number of euploid embryos， euploidy rate， and the rate of obtaining at least one euploid embryo. However， the PPOS group had significantly lower numbers of total oocytes retrieved， MII oocytes， 2 PN zygotes， cleaved embryos， 2 PN cleaved embryos， blastocysts formed， transferable embryos， and cryopreserved embryos compared to the LP group （P<0.05）. The high-quality embryo rate was significantly lower in the PPOS group than in the AP group （P<0.05）. The numbers of high-quality embryos， high-grade blastocysts， and biopsied blastocysts were significantly lower in the PPOS group than in both the LP and AP groups （P<0.05）. Notably， the 2 PN fertilization rate was significantly higher in the PPOS group than in the AP group， and the cleavage rate was significantly higher in the PPOS group than in both the LP and AP groups （P<0.05）.③ No significant differences were found among the three groups in the biochemical pregnancy rate， clinical pregnancy rate， live birth rate， early miscarriage rate， and late miscarriage rate following the first FET cycle. ConclusionCompared to the other two protocols， the PPOS protocol does not significantly affect embryo euploidy or clinical pregnancy rates. However， in freeze-all cycles with PGT-A， the PPOS protocol does not reduce the rate of chromosomally normal embryos but may decrease the total number of available embryos. It may not be the optimal choice for younger women， but it can be considered as a viable option for women of advanced maternal age.

Objective To explore the effect of metformin combined with insulin detemir on intestinal flora in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods A total of 176 patients with GDM admitted to Luzhou People's Hospital from May 2022 to July 2023 were selected and randomly divided into a single drug group and a combined group, with 88 cases in each group. The single drug group was treated with insulin detemir, and the combined group was given metformin combined with insulin detemir. The glucose metabolism levels and intestinal flora distribution were compared between the two groups before treatment and during delivery. The maternal-infant outcomes were statistically analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results During delivery, the levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc), and largest amplitude of glycemic excursions (LAGE), and the contents of Enterobacterium, Enterococcus and Escherichia coli in both groups were reduced compared with those before treatment, and the above indicators in the combined group were lower than those in the single drug group (all P<0.05). The contents of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus were increased in both groups, and the indicators were higher in the combined group than those in the single drug group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in adverse maternal-infant outcomes between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Metformin combined with insulin detemir can effectively reduce blood glucose levels and improve intestinal flora distribution in patients with GDM, without increasing adverse maternal-infant outcomes.

BACKGROUND:It has been elucidated that downregulation of nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1(NEAT1)inhibits the progression of keloid fibroblasts,but the exact mechanism is not fully understood. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the influences of long non-coding RNA nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1(lncRNA NEAT1)on the proliferation,apoptosis and migration of keloid fibroblasts by regulating the miR-136-5p/ubiquitin-specific protease 4(USP4)axis. METHODS:Keloid fibroblasts were divided into five groups:si-NC group,control check group,si-NEAT1 group,si-NEAT1+miR-136-5p inhibitor group,and si-NEAT1+inhibitor-NC group.qRT-PCR was performed to measure the expressions of NEAT1 and miR-136-5p;cell counting kit-8 assay and EDU staining were performed to measure cell proliferation;flow cytometry was performed to measure apoptosis;scratch-healing experiment was performed to measure cell migration;western blot assay was performed to measure the protein expressions of USP4,p27,Bax,matrix metalloproteinase-9,α-smooth muscle actin,and type I collagen α1 chain;dual-luciferase assay was performed to examine the relationship of NEAT1 with miR-136-5p as well as the relationship of miR-136-5p with USP4. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the si-NC group,the NEAT1 expression,absorbance value at 450 nm,percentage of EDU positive cells,scratch-healing rate,the protein expressions of USP4,matrix metalloproteinase-9,α-smooth muscle actin,and type I collagen α1 chain decreased in the si-NEAT1 group(P<0.05),while the expression of miR-136-5p,apoptosis rate,and the protein expressions of p27 and Bax increased(P<0.05).miR-136-5p inhibitor reversed the effect of silencing NEAT1 on the biological behavior of keloid fibroblasts.There was a targeted regulatory relationship between NEAT1 and miR-136-5p as well as between miR-136-5p and USP4.To conclude,silencing NEAT1 may inhibit the proliferation and migration of keloid fibroblasts and induce apoptosis by regulating the miR-136-5p/USP4 axis..

In this work, starting from 4-hydroxycoumarin, three series of 22 coumarin derivatives, among which 8 have not been reported in the literature, were synthesized and their in vitro anti-inflammatory activities and mechanisms of action were preliminarily investigated using mouse macrophage model. The results showed that most of the derivatives could significantly inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory factor NO, with compounds 2e, 2f, 2g, 2h, 2i, 2j, 4e, and 4f showing better anti-inflammatory activity than the positive control drug dexamethasone. Further experiments showed that compounds 2h and 4f significantly inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory factors IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β in RAW264.7 macrophages, and could, therefore, be used as lead compounds for further studies.

Objective Idiopathic rolandic epilepsy syndrome （IRES） is the most common epilepsy syndrome in childhood， and its lesion site remains undetermined. This article aims to investigate the source of epileptiform discharges in IRES using magnetoencephalography （MEG）.Methods A total of 70 patients with IRES were enrolled in this prospective MEG-based study， among whom there were 53 children with benign epilepsy of childhood with centrotemporal spikes （BECTS）， 12 children with atypical benign partial epilepsy （ABPE）， 3 children with Landau-Kleffner syndrome （LKS）， and 2 children with epileptic encephalopathy with continuous spike-and-waves during slow-wave sleep （CSWS）. Epileptiform discharges were collected independently from each patient 10 times， and an MEG source analysis was performed. Standardized low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography was used to perform source localization of the distributed source model. The spike source density was quantified into amplitude， and source location was determined according to the Desikan-Killiany atlas. The association between the distribution of spike source in brain and clinical manifestations was analyzed.Results In IRES， there were significant differences in the source locations of epilepsy discharge between BECTS， ABPE， LKS， and CSWS. The current source density of CSWS was stronger in the frontal lobe， the temporal lobe， and the anterior cingulate gyrus， while that of ABPE was stronger in the frontal lobe， and that of BECTS and LKS were stronger in the temporal lobe. The more severe phenotype of epilepsy， such as generalized tonic-clonic seizure， was associated with a stronger current source density in the brain， which was consistent with electroencephalography manifestations.Conclusion This study identifies different sources of epileptiform discharges in IRES. The density distribution of these spike sources may help to explain the discharge， cognitive， and neuropsychological characteristics in different subtypes of IRES.

Objective:To investigate the effect of peripheral white blood cell(WBC) count on adverse pregnancy outcomes.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on pregnant women who delivered at Minhang Hospital affiliated with Fudan University between January 2013 and June 2020. Demographic data, WBC counts, and diagnostic information on gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM), gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia/eclampsia were extracted from electronic medical records. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between WBC counts in the first(WBC-1) and second trimesters(WBC-2) and metabolically related pregnancy outcomes.Results:A total of 24 143 pregnant women were included, with a mean age of(29.1±4.9) years and a mean pre-pregnancy body mass index(BMI) of(21.1±2.8) kg/m 2. The mean WBC counts in the first and second trimesters were 8.1×10 9/L and 8.9×10 9/L, respectively. The incidence rates of GDM, gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia/eclampsia were 5.6%, 4.8%, and 1.8%, respectively. After adjusting for relevant confounders, a core standard deviation( s) increase in WBC-1 was associated with a 6%, 18%, and 14% increased risk of GDM, gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia/eclampsia, respectively( P<0.001). Similarly, a one s increase in WBC-2 was associated with a 10% increased risk for all three adverse outcomes( P<0.001). Conclusion:Elevated peripheral WBC levels in the first and second trimesters are independently associated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, independent of traditional risk factors.
