Background:To compare the efficacy and safety of monthly administrations of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists LY01005 and Zoladex ? in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer. Methods:From October 2020 to November 2021, 188 premenopausal breast cancer patients were enrolled in 34 hospitals and randomized 1:1 to receive either LY01005 or Zoladex ? every 28 days for a total of three injections. All patients concomitantly received oral tamoxifen (TAM). The primary efficacy endpoint was cumulative probability of maintaining menopausal level [oestradiol (E2) ≤30 pg/ml] from day 29 to day 85. The second efficacy endpoint included changes in E2, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) compared with the baseline. Pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety were analyzed. The study also evaluated the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of LY01005. Results:A total of 188 patients were randomised and 187 patients received either LY01005 or Zoladex ?. Cumulative probabilities of maintaining menopausal level (E2≤30 pg/ml) from day 29 to day 85 were 93.1% for LY01005 and 86.3% for Zoladex ?. The between-group difference was 6.8% (95% CI: -2.3%, 15.9%) and primary efficacy in the LY01005 group was not inferior to that in the Zoladex ? group. Changes in E2, LH, and FSH levels compared with the baseline were equivalent between the two groups (E2: 89.34% to 90.23% vs. 82.11% to 85.02%; LH: 88.89% to 95.52% vs. 89.70% to 97.02%; FSH: 75.36% to 80.85% vs.73.07% to 80.24%, respectively). After three consecutive doses of LY01005, the LH and FSH levels of the subjects showed a transient increase after the first dose, reached a peak on the second day and then started to decrease. The LH and FSH reached a lower level and remained at or below that level until the 85th day. Both treatments were well-tolerated. Conclusion:LY01005 is as effective as Zoladex ? in suppressing E2 to menopausal levels in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer, with a similar safety profile.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism by which salidroside inhibits the proliferation of gastric cancer(GC)cells through upregulation of miR-1343-3p.Methods RNA databases were used to screen for mRNAs associated with tumor proliferation and with miR-1343-3p,and exhibiting significant changes in their expression levels after salidroside treatment of human GC cells.Gene matching and immunoprecipitation of RNA-binding proteins were conducted to analyze the association between miR-1343-3p and SOX18.Immunocytochemistry was performed to determine the localization of SOX18 protein.The effect of salidroside on the proliferation of human GC cells(MGC-803 and AGS)was determined by CCK-8 assay.Human GC cells were divided into a blank control group and low-and high-dose salidroside groups.The expression of miR-1343-3p and SOX18 mRNA was measured by real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR(qPCR).The protein expression of SOX18 was measured by Western blot.GC cells were co-transfected with miR-1343-3p mimic and miR-1343-3p inhibitor,respectively,via LipofectamineTM 2000 liposomes.The expression of miR-1343-3p and SOX18 mRNA was measured by qPCR,and the protein expression of SOX18 was measured by Western blot.Results Through bioinformatic analysis,SOX18 was identified as a downstream target of miR-1343-3p.Gene alignment confirmed the presence of specific binding sites between the two genes,and immunoprecipitation of RNA-binding proteins validated the targeting relationship between them(P<0.05).Immunocytochemistry demonstrated the nuclear localization of SOX18 protein.CCK-8 assay findings demonstrated that salidroside significantly inhibited the proliferation of GC cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner.Compared with the blank control group,salidroside-treated GC cells showed decreased expression of both SOX18 mRNA and protein(P<0.05)and an increased miR-1343-3p expression(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,GC cells in the miR-1343-3p mimic group exhibited increased expression of miR-1343-3p and decreased expression of SOX18 mRNA and protein.In contrast,GC cells in the miR-1343-3p inhibitor group showed decreased expression of miR-1343-3p and increased expression of SOX18 mRNA and protein(all P<0.05).Conclusion Salidroside may inhibit the proliferation of GC cells by regulating the miR-1343-3p/SOX18 signaling axis and these regulators may present new potential therapeutic targets or biomarkers for gastric cancer.

Objective To explore the risk factors for the recurrence of autoimmune pancreatitis(AIP),so as to provide a new reference for its clinical treatment.Methods The clinical data of 198 AIP patients admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from 2014 to 2021 were collected,including 164 patients with type 1 AIP and 34 patients with type 2 AIP.Based on the recurrence status of AIP,the patients were categorized into recurrence group(38 cases)and non-recurrence group(160 cases),and differences between the 2 groups were analyzed.Patients with definite duration of glucocorticoid maintenance therapy were further screened,and logistic regression model and Spearman rank correlation analysis were used to analyze the risk factors of AIP recurrence.Results During the follow-up period,19.19％(38/198)of AIP patients experienced a relapse.The 1-,3-,and 5-year cumulative recurrence rates were 6.57％,9.09％,and 12.63％,respectively,with type 1 AIP demonstrating a significantly higher recurrence rate than type 2 AIP(21.95％[36/164]vs 5.88％[2/34],P=0.030).Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum low density lipoprotein-cholesterol level(odds ratio[OR]=0.544,95％confidence interval[CI]0.321-0.924,P=0.024)and the duration of glucocorticoid maintenance therapy(OR=0.797,95％CI 0.704-0.902,P＜0.001)were the potential factors of AIP recurrence in 112 patients with definite data on the duration of glucocorticoid maintenance therapy.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of glucocorticoid maintenance therapy was independently associated with AIP recurrence(OR=0.813,95％CI 0.713-0.926,P=0.002).Spearman rank correlation analysis further demonstrated a negative correlation between the duration of glucocorticoid maintenance therapy and AIP recurrence(r=-0.545,P＜0.001).Additionally,receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that the duration of glucocorticoid maintenance therapy had good predictive effect on AIP recurrence,with an area under curve value of 0.873(95％CI 0.800-0.945,P＜0.001).Conclusion Long-term regular glucocorticoid therapy is an independent protective factor against AIP recurrence,and it can significantly reduce the recurrence of AIP.

Objective To establish a combined model of spectral CT multi-parameters and clinical features to distinguish between gastric poorly cohesive carcinoma and tubular adenocarcinoma.Methods A total of 87 patients with gastric cancer confirmed by postoperative pathology were retrospectively selected,including 26 patients with poorly cohesive carcinoma and 61 patients with tubular adenocarcinoma.Predictors were identified by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses,and a combined model was established.The area under the curve(AUC)of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the differential diagnostic efficiency of the parameters and the model.The AUC was compared by DeLong method.Results The gender[odds ratio(OR)5.124,P=0.004],normalized iodine density in the arterial phase(nIoDAP)(OR 5.789,P=0.017),arterial enhancement fraction(AEF)(OR 7.007,P=0.002)and ΔIoD(OR 0.025,P=0.021)were identified as independent predictors for poorly cohesive carcinoma by logistic regression analysis.The AUC of combined model established by four variables in distinguishing poorly cohesive carcinoma and tubular adenocarcinoma was 0.837[95％confidence interval(CI)0.716-0.907],which was significantly higher than that of single tumor spectral CT parameters(P＜0.01).Conclusion The combined model based on patients'gender and tumor spectral CT parameters(nIoDAP,AEF and ΔIoD)can effectively distinguish gastric poorly cohesive carcinoma and tubular adenocarcinoma,providing a basis for gastric cancer patients'individualized treatment strategy.

Telomerase reverse transcriptase(TERT)promoter mutation(TPM)in the TERT gene is one of the most frequent genetic alterations in adult-type diffuse gliomas,particularly in IDH-wildtype glioblastoma and IDH-mu-tant oligodendroglioma with 1p/19q co-deletion.Consequently,the WHO(2021)classification of tumors of the central nervous system incorporates TPM as a key molecular criterion for molecular subtyping and grading,differential diagno-sis,prognosis assessment,and treatment-planning in these gliomas.This article briefly reviews the physiological roles of TERT,the relationship between TPM and gliomagenesis.In order to provide reference for clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the effect of serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 (SRSF2) on ferroptosis and its possible mechanism in glioblastoma cells.Methods:The online database of gene expression profiling interactive analysis 2 (GEPIA 2) and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas were used to analyze the expression of SRSF2 in glioblastoma tissue and its association with patients prognosis. To validate the findings of the online databases, the pathological sections of glioblastoma and non-tumor brain tissues from Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, Tianjin, China were collected and analyzed by using immunohistochemistry. Silencing SRSF2 gene expression in glioblastoma cells by siRNA was analyzed with Western blot. The proliferation index was detected by using CCK8 assay. The rescued experiment was conducted by using expression plasmid of pcDNA3.1(+)-SRSF2. The activity of ferroptosis was assessed by using the levels of iron ions and malondialdehyde in glioblastoma cells and the changes in the ratio of glutathione to oxidized glutathione. The changes of gene expression and differential pre-mRNA alternative splicing (PMAS) induced by SRSF2 were monitored by using the third-generation sequencing technology analysis, namely Oxford nanopore technologies (ONT) sequencing analysis.Results:SRSF2 expression was higher in glioblastoma tissues than non-tumor brain tissues. Immunohistochemistry also showed a positive rate of 88.48%±4.60% in glioblastoma tissue which was much higher than the 9.97%±4.57% in non-tumor brain tissue. The expression of SRSF2 was inversely correlated with overall and disease-free disease survivals ( P<0.01). The proliferation index of glioblastoma cells was significantly reduced by silencing with SRSF2 siRNA ( P<0.01) and could be reversed with transfection of exogenous SRSF2. The levels of intracellulariron ions and malondialdehyde increased ( P<0.05), but the glutathione/oxidized glutathione ratio and the expression of key proteins in the glutathione pathway remained unchanged ( P>0.05). ONT sequencing results showed that silencing SRSF2 in glioblastoma cells could induce a significant alternative 3' splice site change on ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1). Conclusion:SRSF2 inhibits the ferroptosis in glioblastoma cells and promotes their proliferation, which may be achieved by regulating FSP1 PMAS.

Objective:To construct a prediction model for the clinical supply of blood components in Xi′an City from 2023 to 2025.Methods:Based on the blood supply data of the Blood Management Information System of Shaanxi Provincial Blood Center from January 2013 to December 2022, a gray prediction model and an exponential curve fitting model were used to construct the prediction model, and the optimal prediction model was determined according to the error parameters of the relevant indicators of the model. The supply of blood components in Xi′an from 2023 to 2025 was predicted.Results:The fitting equations of the exponential curve fitting model to predict the supply of suspended red blood cells, platelets and cryoprecipitate in Xi′an were, x（1）（ t+1）=1.16e 0.04t， x（1）（ t+1）=1.04e 0.12t and x（1）（ t+1）=1.01e 1.10t, respectively. The mean absolute errors (mean relative errors) of the exponential curve fitting model in predicting the supply of suspended red blood cells, platelets and cryoprecipitate in Xi′an were 10 488.7 (0.05%), 2 114.9 (0.08%) and 3 089.6 (0.07%), respectively, which were lower than those of the gray prediction model, about 10 488.7 (3.44%), 2 152.78 (8.20%) and 3 441.35 (7.92%), respectively. The exponential curve fitting model predicted that the clinical supply of blood components in Xi′an would increase year by year from 2023 to 2025, and the clinical supply of suspended red blood cells, platelets, and cryoprecipitate in Xi′an would increase to 409 467 U, 69 818 therapeutic volume and 94 724 U, respectively by 2025. Conclusion:The exponential curve fitting model can make a good prediction of the clinical supply of blood components in Xi′an City.
