Objective To explore the prevalence of depressive symptoms in postoperative patients with ovarian cancer and to analyze its influencing factors from multiple dimensions, including clinical characteristics, psychological factors, and laboratory indicators. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted, which enrolled 235 postoperative patients with ovarian cancer. Depressive status was assessed using the patient health questionnaire, and the demographic, pathological, and medical record data of the patients were collected using the generalized anxiety disorder scale, Pittsburgh sleep quality index, European organization for research and treatment of cancer quality of life questionnaire core 30, and ECOG performance status score. Peripheral blood tumor marker (CA125), routine blood test, lymphocyte subsets, and serum cytokine levels were measured. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results The prevalence of depression in postoperative patients with ovarian cancer was 39.15% (92/235). Univariate analysis showed that ECOG score ≥ 2 points, pain, anxiety, poor sleep quality, low quality of life, low life satisfaction, tumor recurrence, six or more cycles of chemotherapy, as well as higher levels of CA125, NLR, and NAR, and lower hemoglobin levels were significantly associated with depression (all P<0.05). Multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that anxiety (OR=1.975, 95%CI: 1.231-3.170), sleep efficiency (OR=4.181, 95%CI: 1.211-14.43), sleep latency (OR=34.806, 95%CI: 4.258-284.542), ECOG performance status score, cognitive function (OR=0.918, 95%CI: 0.868-0.97), and life satisfaction were independent risk factors for depression (all P<0.05). Laboratory indicators were not independent influencing factors in the multivariate Logistic regression model. Conclusion Depression in postoperative patients with ovarian cancer is influenced by physiological, psychological, and social factors. Clinical management should focus on patients with anxiety, sleep disorders, poor physical condition, and low life satisfaction, and a comprehensive prevention and treatment strategy centered on psychological intervention and taking into account symptom management and social support should be implemented.

Objective: To investigate the microbial mechanisms of Banxia Xiexin Decoction (半夏泻心汤, BXXXD) in the treatment of esophageal precancerous lesions. Methods: A total of 30 specific pathogen-free (SPF) grade female C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to a control group (n = 6) and a 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO)-exposed group (n = 24). Esophageal precancerous lesions were induced by providing the 4-NQO-exposed group with 4-NQO in drinking water (100 μg/mL) for 17 consecutive weeks, whereas control group received sterile drinking water. After model establishment, the mice in 4-NQO-exposed group were further randomized into model group and three BXXXD-treated groups: low-dose (BXXXD-L, 3.7 g/kg), medium-dose (BXXXD-M, 7.4 g/kg), and high-dose (BXXXD-H, 14.8 g/kg) groups (n = 6 per group). During the subsequent intervention period, mice in control and model groups were gavaged with sterile water, while mice in BXXXD groups were gavaged once daily with the corresponding dose of BXXXD aqueous extract for 4 weeks. Histopathological changes in esophageal tissues were observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. The fecal and esophageal microbiota were profiled via 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing to evaluate bacterial diversity, community structure, and co-occurrence networks. BXXXD chemical fingerprints were analyzed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole QExactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QE-MS). Serum short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) level was quantified by targeted metabolomics using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Transcriptomic analysis of esophageal tissues was performed to assess gene expression profiles. Results: Compared with model group, BXXXD-M group exhibited reduced mucosal hyperplasia and more orderly epithelial cell arrangement, with superior therapeutic effects in comparison with both BXXXD-L and BXXXD-H groups (P < 0.01). Microbiota analysis revealed that BXXXD increased the abundance of beneficial Enterococcus and reduced pathogenic Escherichia-Shigella in the esophagus. In the gut, BXXXD elevated the relative abundance of beneficial taxa, including Lactobacillus, Dubosiella, Bacteroides, and Faecalibacterium. Targeted metabolomics showed that BXXXD significantly reduced total serum SCFA level (P < 0.01). Transcriptomic analysis indicated that BXXXD downregulated the expression of genes associated with the progression, migration, and invasion of esophageal cancer, which were identified as kallikrein-related peptidase 6 (Klk6), defensin beta 4 (Defb4), family with sequence similarity 3 member B (Fam3b), carboxypeptidase A4 (Cpa4), serum amyloid A1 (Saa1), and chitinase-like 1 (Chil1) (P < 0.05). Conclusion BXXXD may reduce the expression levels of esophageal cancer-related genes and improve esophageal precancerous lesions through modulation of the gut microbiota and metabolites.

Objective:To review the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae endogenous endophthalmitis in the past 20 years, in order to guide diagnosis and treatment.Methods:Patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae endogenous endophthalmitis who visited the Ophthalmology Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2004 to December 2023 were retrospectively included. The basic information, general condition, microbiological evidence, treatment regimens and prognosis of the patients were statistically analyzed.Results:A total of 26 patients (33 affected eyes) were included, with an age of (53.6±12.6)years. Among them, 76.9%(20/26) of the patients had diabetes mellitus, 61.5%(16/26) of the patients had liver abscess, and 88.5%(23/26) of the patients visited the hospital due to systemic infection symptoms such as fever rather than ocular symptoms. Thirty affected eyes underwent complete ocular sign examinations. The time from the appearance of ocular symptoms to the first ophthalmic visit of the patients was (10.5±6.2)days. The best corrected visual acuity of the minimum resolution visual Angle logarithm (logMAR) of the affected eyes at the visit was (2.3±0.9), and retinal detachment occurred in 70.0%(21/30) of the affected eyes. Thirty-three affected eyes received (2.9±2.3) intravitreal antibiotic injections. 66.7%(22/33) of the affected eyes underwent vitreous surgeries, and 24.2%(8/33) of the affected eyes eventually underwent enucleation of the ocular contents or enucleation of the eyeball. The median follow-up time for the patients was 111 days. The logMAR best corrected visual acuity at the last follow-up was (2.1±0.9), and only 27.3%(9/33) of the affected eyes had improved visual acuity compared with that at the first visit.Conclusions:Klebsiella pneumoniae endogenous endophthalmitis progresses rapidly and has a poor prognosis. The combined systemic and intraocular application of antibiotics and vitreous surgeries are crucial for eye protection. Early diagnosis and early treatment are the most crucial.

Background and purpose:Gastric cancer,as one of the most common malignant tumors,requires early diagnosis and treatment to improve patient prognosis.This study,based on serum quantitative proteomics research of early-stage gastric cancer patients and non-gastric cancer patients,aims to identify potential diagnostic biomarkers for early gastric cancer.Methods:Serum samples from primary gastric cancer patients and healthy control individuals were collected from Lanzhou University Second Hospital between June and December 2023,following inclusion and exclusion criteria.A protein spectral library was established using Data-Dependent Acquisition(DDA)mode,and each sample was analyzed using Data-Independent Acquisition(DIA)mode.The STRING database was used to analyze protein-protein interactions of upregulated proteins in gastric cancer serum.Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)and Gene Ontology(GO)were used to analyze the pathways and functional annotations of the corresponding genes.Gene expression levels in gastric cancer and non-gastric cancer tissues were analyzed using GEPIA 2,and overall survival of each gene in gastric cancer was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier Plotter.Differential gene expression in clinical gastric cancer and adjacent tissues was validated by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Lanzhou University Second Hospital(Ethical No.:2023A-459)and was exempt from the informed consent.Results:Finally,serum samples from 30 primary gastric cancer patients,29 healthy control individuals,along with the para-cancerous tissues from 8 patients were collected.A total of 666 intersecting proteins were identified through serum quantitative proteomics.Among them,16 proteins showed upregulated expression and 22 proteins showed downregulated expression in the gastric cancer group(P＜0.05,|FC|≥1.5).STRING database analysis showed that 10 upregulated proteins were involved in interaction networks.KEGG and GO analysis indicated that these genes were closely related to the biological processes of cancer occurrence and development.GEPIA 2 and Kaplan-Meier Plotter analysis showed that 6 genes,B2M,TAGLN2,CTSD,HSP90AB1,SH3BGRL3,and CFL1,which were highly expressed in the gastric cancer group(P＜0.05)and associated with poor prognosis.Clinical verification by qRT-PCR confirmed that TAGLN2,CTSD,SH3BGRL3,CFL1 and HSP90AB1 were highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues(P＜0.05).Conclusion:TAGLN2,CTSD,SH3BGRL3,CFL1,and HSP90AB1 have the potential to serve as clinical early gastric cancer diagnostic serum biomarkers,which may facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer.
