Objective:To investigate the impact of various conditions on the adsorption of quetiapine by activated carbon, establish a method for evaluating the adsorption efficacy of activated carbon on quetiapine, and assess the adsorption effects both in vitro and in vivo.Methods:In vitro experiments involved incubating activated carbon with quetiapine under different conditions, including varying organic solvent contents, types of organic solvents, adsorption temperatures, adsorption times, and pH. After reaching equilibrium, the mixtures were centrifuged, and the supernatants were collected. The concentration of quetiapine in the supernatants was measured using LC-MS/MS, and the adsorption rates were calculated. The log-transformed concentration of activated carbon was used as the independent variable and the adsorption rate as the dependent variable for function fitting using Origin 2021 software. In the in vivo experiments, rats were administered quetiapine orally, followed by 125 mg/mL of activated carbon in the experimental group. Blood samples were collected at multiple time points pre- and post-administration (0.17 h, 0.33 h, 0.50 h, 0.75 h, 1 h, 1.5 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h). Plasma samples were pre-treated and the quetiapine concentrations were determined using LC-MS/MS. Pharmacokinetic parameters for both control and experimental groups were calculated using DAS 2.0 software.Results:The factors such as organic solvent content, type of organic solvent, adsorption temperature, adsorption time, and pH value significantly influenced the adsorption efficiency of quetiapine by activated carbon, leading to the optimization and standardization of the in vitro adsorption methodology. Among the 100 different adsorption function models tested, the Boltzmann function was identified as the most suitable models for describing the adsorption of quetiapine by activated carbon. Pharmacokinetic analysis showed that the experimental group treated with activated carbon exhibited significantly reduced C max and AUC for quetiapine compared to the control group. Conclusion:The results of both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that activated carbon effectively adsorbs quetiapine, providing a potential method for mitigating quetiapine absorption.

Objective :
To investigate the expression of Keratin 14(KRT14) in Basal-like Breast Cancer(BLBC) and its biological functions and mechanisms.
Methods :
The expression levels of KRT14 mRNA in BLBC and para-cancer breast tissues were analyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA) database. qPCR, Western blot(WB), and immunohistochemistry were employed to detect KRT14 expression in BLBC and adjacent normal tissues, and its correlation with clinicopathological features was analyzed. KRT14 overexpression and knockdown were performed in breast cancer cells, and cell scratch and transwell assays were performed to evaluate changes in migration and invasion abilities. To investigate the expression of proteins related to the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, including catenin Beta 1(β-catenin), wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 1(Wnt1), matrix metallopeptidase 7(MMP7), and cellular myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog(c-Myc), as well as the cellular localization of β-catenin, WB and immunofluorescence(IF) techniques were employed. Additionally, a Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway inhibitor was used to verify the mechanism of action of KRT14.
Results :
The expression of KRT14 was significantly higher in BLBC tissues compared to normal tissues(P<0.05), and was associated with higher T stage and histological grade(P<0.05). The overexpression of KRT14 significantly enhanced the migration and invasion abilities of breast cancer cells, while the knockdown of KRT14 significantly reduced those abilities(P<0.01). The overexpression of KRT14 can increase the expression levels of Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related proteins β-catenin, Wnt1, MMP7, and c-Myc, thereby activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Moreover, the inhibition of this pathway can eliminate the effects of KRT14 on cell migration and invasion.
Conclusion
The high expression of KRT14 in BLBC may promote the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective :
To investigate the expression of(heat shock protein a member 8,HSPA8) in breast cancer and its effect on tumor biological behaviors.
Methods:
Bioinformatics analysis and immunohistochemistry assays were used to detect the expression of HSPA8 in breast cancer and adjacent non-tumor breast tissues,and the relationship between its expression and clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients was analyzed.Correlation between HSPA8 expression and prognosis of breast cancer patients was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier Plotter database.HSPA8 knockdown and over expression breast cancer stabilized cells were constructed,respectively.CCK-8,clone formation,Transwell,cell scratch,Western blot and immunofluorescence assay were used to detect the effects of HSPA8 on the proliferation,invasion and migration of breast cancer cells,and its effect on epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT).
Results :
Bioinformatics analysis and immunohistochemistry assay revealed that the expression of HSPA8 in breast cancer tissues was higher than that in adjacent non-tumour tissues(P<0.05),and its expression level of the protein was significantly and positively correlated with the tumor size,histological grade,lymph node metastasis and Ki-67 proliferation index(P<0.05).The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that high expression of HSPA8 was significantly associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer patients(P<0.05).CCK-8,clone formation,transwell,cell scratch,Western blot and immunofluorescence assay showed that knockdown of HSPA8 expression could significantly inhibit the proliferation,invasion,migration function and EMT of breast cancer cells(P<0.05),while overexpression of HSPA8 could significantly promote the proliferation,invasion,migration function and EMT of breast cancer cells(P<0.05).
Conclusion
HSPA8 is highly expressed in breast cancer tissues,which is closely related to disease progression and the malignant phenotype of breast cancer,suggesting that HSPA8 may be a potential biological target for breast cancer treatment.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of holographic imaging-based digital localization technology in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy(RAPN)for the treatment of completely endophytic renal tumors.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 23 patients with completely endophytic renal tumors who underwent RAPN at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University between December 2022 and December 2024. Patients were divided into two groups based on the use of holographic imaging:the holographic imaging group(16 cases)and the conventional group(7 cases). There was no statistically significant difference between the holographic imaging group and the conventional group in terms of age[(41.9 ± 13.4)years vs.(46.9 ± 13.4)years],body mass index[(25.6 ± 4.8)kg/m2 vs.(24.7 ± 3.1)kg/m2],maximum tumor diameter[(3.1 ± 0.9)cm vs.(3.0 ± 9.0)cm],tumor volume[(13.2 ± 9.0)cm3 vs.(34.9 ± 9.9)cm3],R.E.N.A.L. score[(9.4 ± 1.2)points vs.(9.9 ± 0.7)points],PADUA score[(10.4 ± 0.7)points vs.(9.4 ± 0.7)points],proportion of T 1a stage patients[12 cases(75.0%)vs. 6 cases(85.7%)]and preoperative serum creatinine[(67.4 ± 9.5)μmol/L vs.(78.0 ± 16.0)μmol/L]. In the holographic group,holographic models were reconstructed based on preoperative enhanced CT or MRI images and used for preoperative planning and intraoperative localization. In the conventional group,surgeons relied on preoperative CT or MRI images for cognitive fusion during RAPN. Perioperative parameters such as warm ischemia time,operative time,tumor localization time,positive surgical margin rate,and renal function were compared between the two groups. Results:The operative time in the holographic group was significantly shorter than that in the conventional group[(152.8 ± 12.9)min vs.(218.4 ± 105.5)min, P = 0.001]. Warm ischemia time[(26.9 ± 3.4)min vs.(30.7 ± 3.8)min, P < 0.001],localization time[(4.2 ± 0.9)min vs.(8.9 ± 1.7)min, P < 0.001],and estimated blood loss[(47.0 ± 17.7)ml vs.(128.6 ± 87.8)ml, P < 0.001]were also significantly lower in the holographic group. In the conventional group,one patient underwent radical nephrectomy,while no patient in the holographic imaging group required conversion to radical nephrectomy. No cases of positive surgical margins were identified in either group. Serum creatinine levels measured one month after surgery showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups[(79.5 ± 15.7)μmol /L vs.(104.9 ± 22.5)μmol /L]. Conclusions:The application of holographic imaging-based digital localization technology in RAPN for completely endophytic renal tumors significantly reduces operative time,localization time,warm ischemia time,and intraoperative blood loss. This technology improves surgical efficiency and success rates,offering distinct clinical advantages.

Objective:To explore the application value of part-cut jejunal transection in digestive tract reconstruction of totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy.Methods:The propensity score matching and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 112 patients with gastric cancer who underwent totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from June 2018 to September 2022 were collected. There were 81 males and 31 females, aged (70±8)years. Among the 112 patients, 60 patients undergoing diges-tive tract reconstruction by Roux-en-Y anastomosis with part-cut jejunum were set as the part-cut group, and 52 patients undergoing digestive tract reconstruction by traditional Roux-en-Y anasto-mosis were set as the traditional group. Observation indicators: (1) propensity score matching status and comparison of clinical data of patients between the two groups after matching; (2) intraopera-tive and postoperative conditions; (3) follow-up. Comparison of measurement data with normal dis-tribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Com-parison of ordinal data was conducted using the nonparametic rank sum test. Propensity score matching was performed using the 1∶1 nearest neighbor matching method, with the caliper value of 0.02. Results:(1) Propensity score matching status and comparison of clinical data of patients between the two groups after matching. Of the 112 patients, 90 patients were successfully matched, with 45 cases in each of the part-cut group and the traditional group. After propensity score matching, the elimination of body mass index, clinical TNM staging confounding bias ensured comparability. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative conditions. After propensity score matching, the total operation time and digestive tract reconstruction time of patients in the part-cut group were (217.0±15.1)minutes and (34.7±1.8)minutes, versus (252.6±21.9)minutes and (52.6±7.4)minutes in the traditional group, respectively, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=?8.97, ?15.66, P<0.05). (3) Follow-up. After propensity score matching, 90 patients were followed up postoperatively for (47±15)months. During the follow-up, no patient in either group received secondary surgery, and there was no death. There were 3 cases and 10 cases of Roux stasis syndrome in the part-cut group and the traditional group, respectively, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.41, P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with traditional Roux-en-Y anastomosis, the Roux-en-Y anastomosis with part-cut jejunum in totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy can signifi-cantly shorten the time for digestive tract reconstruction and reduce the incidence of postoperative Roux stasis syndrome.

There were 87 cases were treated with flexible ureteroscopy holmium laser lithotripsy (FURS group), including 58 males and 29 females, with 56 on the left and 31 on the right, age of(48.5±13.0) years, body mass index of(24.1±3.8)kg/m 2, the stone diameter of(1.45±0.40)cm, and the CT numberical value of(1 311.3±188.9)(1 009-1 817)HU. There were no significant differences in gender, age, body mass index, the location of stone, the diameter of stone and the CT numberical value of stone( P>0.05)between the two groups. For ST-URS group, a rigid ureteral channel sheath and standard mirror(F7.5/11.5)were placed under direct vision, exiting the standard mirror, leaving the channel sheath, inserting a lithotripsy mirror(F4.5/6.5)and a holmium laser[Power: 8-30 W(0.4-1.0 J/20-30 Hz)], and withdrawing the stone fragments after crushing the stone by "nibbling method" . For FURS group, a hard ureteroscope(F8/9.8)was used to explore the lesion side of the ureter, inserting a guide wire and placing a soft ureteral sheath, then inserting a flexible ureteroscope(F8)for holmium laser lithotripsy, and useing a stone basket to remove larger stone fragments. Ureteral stent was routinely indwelled after the operation. On the day 1 and 1 month after the operation, imaging examinations were performed to evaluate the stone-free rate. No residual stones or the diameter of stone was ≤0.4 cm and no urinary tract infection or any symptoms were defined as stone free. The operation time, blood loss, success rate of stage Ⅰ ureteral access sheath placement, incidence of postoperative complications, stone-free rate(SFR) at 1 day after operation, SFR at 1 month after operation, postoperative hospital stay and hospitalization costs were compared between the two groups. According to the size of calculi, the 2 groups were divided into 2 subgroups(≥1.5 cm and <1.5 cm)in order to make further analysis. The operation time, stone-free rate(SFR) at day 1 after operation and SFR at 1 month after operation were compared between the two groups. Results:The operation time of the ST-URS group was shorter than the FURS group(40.10 min vs. 49.43 min, P=0.020), and the incidence of postoperative complications was lower than the FURS group[3.28%(2/61)vs. 13.79%(12/87), P=0.031]. The SFR at day 1 after operation was significantly higher than the FURS group[60.7%(37/61)vs. 25.3%(22/87), P<0.01], and the hospitalization cost was lower than that of the FURS group(27 686 yuan vs. 32 281 yuan, P<0.010). There were no significant differences in the blood loss[(4.92±9.51)ml vs.(3.95±6.04)ml, P=0.452], success rate of stageⅠureteral access sheath placement[ 96.7%(59/61)vs. 96.6%(84/87), P=1.000], SFR at 1 month after operation[81.97%(50/61) vs. 75.86%(66/87), P=0.375] and postoperative hospital stay[(2.5±1.4)d vs.(2.4±0.8)d, P=0.543] between the two groups. When the size of calculi was ≥1.5cm, the operation time of the ST-URS group was shorter than the FURS group (43.67 min vs 55.00 min), the SFR at 1 day after operation was higher than the FURS group[40.00%(12/30)vs. 9.38%(3/32)], and the above differences are all statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with the FURS, for the treatment of upper ureteral calculi with CT numerical value ≥1000 HU, the ST-URS has shorter in operative time, lower in hospitalization cost and incidence of postoperative complications and higher SFR at day 1 after operation. The ST-URS is a safe and effective surgical technique, which is superior in the treatment of larger(≥1.5 cm) stones.
