[摘 要] 目的:探讨甲硫氨酸限制对肺腺癌(LUAD)细胞增殖、凋亡及磷酸戊糖途径的影响。方法:将H1299、A549细胞分为Met+组和Met−组,分别用含100 μmol/L或不含甲硫氨酸的培养基连续培养4 d,采用细胞计数法评估甲硫氨酸处理对H1299和A549细胞增殖的影响,PI染色法检测细胞周期分布,Annexin Ⅴ-PE/7AAD标记细胞凋亡,利用DCFH-DA探针检测细胞内ROS水平,WST-8法和DTNB法分别测定细胞内NADPH与GSH含量;通过癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)数据库分析葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶(G6PD)和6-磷酸葡萄糖酸脱氢酶(6PGD)表达与甲硫氨酸代谢通路的关系;采用WB法检测甲硫氨酸处理及回补甲硫氨酸下游代谢产物S-腺苷甲硫氨酸(SAM)对LUAD细胞中磷酸戊糖途径关键酶G6PD和6PGD表达的影响。结果:甲硫氨酸限制显著抑制H1299和A549细胞增殖(均P < 0.01),将细胞周期阻滞于G2/M期(均P < 0.05),显著升高细胞内总ROS水平(均P < 0.001)并促进细胞凋亡(均P < 0.001);同时,甲硫氨酸限制显著降低了细胞内NADPH和GSH水平(均P < 0.01),抑制DNA合成(均P < 0.01)。分析TCAG数据发现,G6PD和6PGD表达水平与甲硫氨酸代谢通路呈正相关(均P < 0.001),甲硫氨酸限制下调G6PD和6PGD蛋白表达(均P < 0.01),而回补SAM可部分逆转甲硫氨酸限制对G6PD和6PGD的表达的抑制(均P < 0.01),提示甲硫氨酸通过SAM合成调控磷酸戊糖途径。结论:甲硫氨酸限制通过抑制磷酸戊糖途径抑制LUAD细胞增殖,为甲硫氨酸限制疗法治疗LUAD提供实验依据。

Objective This study aimed to investigate the effects of silencing Ras homolog family member C(RhoC)on the proliferation,apoptosis,invasion,migration,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma(SACC)and its molecular mechanisms.Methods A total of 27 SACC lesions and normal salivary gland tissues that were surgically resected at Qingdao Municipal Hospital from January 1,2019 to March 1,2024 were selected,and the expression levels of RhoC were detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry.Three small interfering RNA(siRNAs)were designed to target the RhoC gene sequence,transfected into SACC-LM and SACC-83 cell lines,and evaluated for transfection efficiency.The protein expression levels of RhoC,Rho-asso-ciated protein kinase-1(ROCK1),p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p38MAPK),phosphorylated-p38MAPK(p-p38MAPK),twist family bHLH transcription factor 1(TWIST1),E-cadherin,N-cadherin,and Vimentin were com-pared using Western blot.CCK-8 assay,flow cytometry,transwell invasion assay,and wound healing assay were conducted to assess the differences in cell proliferation,apoptosis,invasion,and migration abilities among the groups.Bioinformatics methods were also used to predict possible upstream micro RNAs(miRNAs)of RhoC and their expression levels in SACC.Moreover,dual-luciferase reporter gene experiments were performed to verify the binding sites of miR-138-5p and RhoC.Results RhoC was highly expressed in SACC(P<0.05).After silencing RhoC,the test group showed a significant decrease in the expression level of ROCK1,p-p38MAPK,TWIST1,N-cadherin,and Vimentin,as well as a significant increase in the expression level of E-cadherin(P<0.05).No signifi-cant difference in the expression level of p38MAPK was observed(P>0.05).The cell proliferation,invasion,and mi-gration ability decreased in the test group,whereas the apoptosis rates significantly increased(P<0.05).miR-138-5p was lowly expressed in SACC,and miR-138-5p mimic can significantly downregulated the luciferase activity of 293T cells after transfection with a RhoC wild-type plasmid(P<0.05).Conclusion RhoC is highly expressed in SACC,and RhoC silencing may target the downstream ROCK1/p38MAPK/TWISTl signaling pathway,thereby in-hibiting the proliferation,invasion,migration,and EMT of SACC while promoting its apoptosis.On the contrary,miR-138-5p is lowly expressed in SACC and is a potential upstream gene of RhoC,and there may be binding sites between the two genes.

AIM:To investigate the therapeutic effect of enteric-coated sustained-release new dosage form of tadalafil on mice with renal fibrosis caused by unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO).METHODS:Eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were divided into four groups randomly:sham group,UUO group,UUO+new dosage form of tadalafil(1 mg/kg)group and UUO+original patented drug of tadalafil(5 mg/kg)group.Surgery was performed to create a mouse UUO model,and therapeutic drugs were administered intragastrically for 7 d after modeling.A fully automated biochemi-cal analyzer was used to detect serum creatinine(SCr)levels of each group.Through renal histopathological staining(HE staining,Masson trichrome staining,and immunohistochemistry staining)and Western blot,we assessed the therapeutic effect of enteric-coated sustained-release new dosage forms of tadalafil on kidney fibrosis in mice,as well as its effect on the expression and distribution of fibronectin(FN)and α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA).RESULTS:Compared with sham group,the SCr levels were significantly increased in mice with renal fibrosis,and renal tubules were dilated and in-filtrated with inflammation.Moreover,the expressions of FN and α-SMA were increased significantly(P<0.05).New dosage form and the original patented drug tadalafil both significantly reduced SCr levels in mice with renal fibrosis,im-proved the renal tissue structure on the affected side,reduced collagen fiber deposition,and inhibited FN and α-SMA ex-pression(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Enteric-coated sustained-release new dosage form of tadalafil reduces the deposit of extracellular matrix in kidney interstitial tissue and attenuates fibrosis and renal function damage caused by ureteral ob-struction.New dosage form of tadalafil has significant advantages over the original patented drug because the low dose and high effectiveness.

The clinical application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. With the widespread applica-tion of ICIs in HCC, the management of immune-related adverse events (irAE) gained more and more attention. However, the complicated disease characteristics and various combination therapies in HCC throw out challenges to irAE management. Therefore, the editorial board of the 'Chinese expert consensus on the management of immune-related adverse events of hepatocellular carcinoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (2021 edition)' organizes multidisciplinary experts to discuss and formulate this consensus. The consensus focuses on issues related to HCC irAE manage-ment, and puts forward suggestions, in order to improve standardized and safety clinical medication, so as to maximize the benefits of immunotherapy for patients.

Tetanus consists of neonatal tetanus and non-neonatal tetanus. Non-neonatal tetanus remains a serious public health problem, although neonatal tetanus has been eliminated in China since 2012. Non-neonatal tetanus is a potential fatal disease. In the absence of medical intervention, the mortality rate of severe cases is almost 100%. Even with vigorous treatment, the mortality rate remains 30%-50% globally. These specifications aim to regulate non-neonatal tetanus diagnosis and treatment in China, in order to improve medical quality and safety. These specifications introduce the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and laboratory tests, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, grading and treatment of non-neonatal tetanus.

Objective:
To investigate the changes of internal fixation stress under different angles of interior fracture line and different screw placement modes in the case of A-type distal femoral fracture.
Methods:
A 24-year-old healthy male volunteer was recruited to collect the right femur data. CATIA V5R21 software produced a 10 mm fracture gap at the external side of the femur 6.5 cm proximal to the joint line and different angle fracture lines were generated on the internal of the femur at the same height. Based on the actual measured dimensions, the three-dimensional (3D) model of the locking plate and screw was reconstructed using CATIA V5R21 software, ignoring the screw surface threads and then the assembly of the internal fixation of the titanium plate, screws and femur was done. All models were meshed using Hypermesh 13.0 software. The assembled 3D model was input into ABAQUS 6.14 to generate a finite element model. Preliminary finite element biomechanical analysis was performed using the four medial fracture line angles and the stress distribution of the internal fixation under the three screw placement modes, and then the analysis was continued after the optimal screw placement method was re-determined.
Results:
Under an axial loading of 700 N, with the increase of the angle of the fracture line, the stress of the lateral internal fixation gradually increased, and the displacement of the proximal end of the fracture gradually increased. The sequential screw placement method was superior to the leaping screw placement method. The placement of the first screw at the proximal end of the fracture was critical to the distribution of the internal fixation stress.
Conclusions
The operation plan of the type A of distal femoral fracture needs to be confirmed according to the internal and external fracture′s condition. When the fracture line is at a excessive positive angle or a negative angle, a simple lateral fixation may not provide a stable fracture fixation so that other fixation methods are needed.
