ObjectiveTo clarify the expression of TRIM28 in non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its correlation with clinical indicators and prognosis, and to further explore the effect of TRIM28 expression levels on the proliferation and apoptosis of AML cells using small interfering RNA. MethodsThe GSE34577 dataset was analyzed using R software to compare TRIM28 expression between healthy controls and non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Clinical samples from non-M3 AML patients were collected, with TRIM28 expression levels measured using real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). The analysis focused on correlations between TRIM28 expression and various clinical indicators, treatment efficacy, and patient prognosis. Furthermore, small interfering RNA (siRNA) technology was employed to downregulate TRIM28 expression in human primary AML cells (HL60 cell line). The effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis were then assessed through CCK-8 assays and flow cytometry, respectively. ResultsThe results showed that TRIM28 was up-regulated in non-M3 AML of both online database GSE34577 and clinical samples (P<0.000 1), TRIM28 expression of new diagnosis group and relapsed refractory group was higher than iron deficiency anemia group (P<0.01), and there was no significance between different French-American-British classification systems subtype. TRIM28 expression was higher in non-M3 AML patients with a poor genetic prognosis stratified as moderate than in the good prognosis group, and TRIM28 expression was associated with NPM1 combined with the FLT3-ITD mutation, positively correlated with age, bone marrow blast, peripheral blood blast and white blood cell, negatively correlated with hemoglobin. In addition, interference TRIM28 greatly inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis. ConclusionThis study reveals that TRIM28 is highly expressed in non-M3 AML and associated with prognosis, and plays a key role in the proliferation and apoptosis of AML cells, suggesting that TRIM28 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for non-M3 AML.

Objective:To analyze the current preparation and usage situation of first-aid drugs in the rescue vehicles in children's medical institutions, and provide references for optimizing the list of emergency drugs.Methods:First-aid drug lists in the rescue vehicles of 12 children's medical institutions from 11 provinces and municipalities in China were collected through questionnaire surveys, and the drugs as well as their quantities were compared. The existing problems in the use of first-aid drugs in the 12 medical institutions were investigated by on-site interviews. The usage information of first-aid drugs in the rescue vehicles of the General Surgery and Cardiology Department of Shanxi Children's Hospital from May 2022 to April 2023 was collected through the hospital information center, and usage frequency and dosage per patient of the drugs were calculated. Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted on the collected data.Results:The first-aid drug lists in 12 hospitals were various, including 7 to 22 kinds of drugs and involving a total of 23 drugs. These mainly included vasoactive drugs, cardiotonic drugs, antiarrhythmic drugs, antiangina and anti-ischemic drugs for the heart, antispasmodic drugs, diuretics, dehydrating drugs, sedative-hypnotic drugs, and glucocorticoids, all of which were injections. The drugs that were included in all the lists of 12 hospitals were epinephrine, dopamine, dexamethasone, furosemide, and atropine. The drug lists of different rescue vehicles throughout the hospital were the same in 4 hospitals, while the lists varied among departments based on their specific clinical needs in the other 8 hospitals. None of the 12 hospitals had a first-aid drug usage manual. The on-site interview results showed that, the existing problems about drug preparation and use in rescue vehicles mainly involved the following 6 aspects: drug types, quantities, labels, storage, procurement, and usage. In Shanxi Children's Hospital, the types and quantities of first-aid drugs in rescue vehicles of General Surgery Department and Cardiology Department were the same. There were 6 and 9 kinds of drugs were used in the 2 departments during rescue operations, respectively. The drugs that were never used in either department included promethazine, lidocaine, diazepam, phenobarbital, raceanisodamine, sodium bicarbonate, atropine, glucose, and calcium gluconate.Conclusions:The phenomenon of unreasonable kinds and quantities of first-aid drugs in the rescue vehicles existed in the children's medical institutions, and the drugs provided did not fully match the actual clinical needs. There was an urgent need for preparation guidelines and usage manuals of first-aid drugs that were suitable for children's medical institutions to enhance the scientificity of drug supply and the correctness of usage.

BACKGROUND:After the internal fixation of cannulated screws in femoral neck fractures,because the affected limb is often unable to bear weight in the short term and the implants with high stiffness have a stress shielding effect on the fracture end,it is easy to cause osteoporosis of the affected limb and changes in the biomechanical distribution of the proximal femur,the incidence of osteonecrosis of the femoral head is high after surgery.At present,few studies have been conducted on the biomechanical effects of osteoporosis at the proximal end of the femur occurring after femoral neck fracture surgery on femoral neck fracture treated with cannulated screws. OBJECTIVE:Using finite element analysis,to investigate the biomechanical effects of osteoporosis occurring after femoral neck fracture surgery on femoral neck fracture treated with cannulated screws and explore the role of biomechanical factors in osteonecrosis of the femoral head. METHODS:Based on the obtained CT scan data of the femur in a patient with a femoral neck fracture,a proximal femoral model for internal fixation for femoral neck fracture was established by Mimics 19.0,3-Matic,UG 11.0,Hypermesh 14.0,and Abaqus software.One finite element model of the proximal femur without osteoporosis and three finite element models of the proximal femur with osteoporosis were analyzed using Abaqus software.The stress,contact pressure,displacement peak and cloud map under different components of the four models were measured and analyzed,and the internal stress changes and distribution of the femoral head were compared and analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The stresses and contact pressures of the femoral head and lower anterior cannulated screws varied more with the degree of osteoporosis.The peak displacement of the four models increased slowly with the degree of osteoporosis.By one-way analysis of variance,there was no significant effect of the degree of osteoporosis on the peak stress,contact pressure,and displacement of the different components.The internal stress distribution of the femoral head changed with the degree of osteoporosis.Changes in the biomechanical environment of the proximal femur have an important impact on osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

BACKGROUND:
Textbook outcome (TO) can guide decision-making among patients and clinicians during preoperative patient selection and postoperative quality improvement. We explored the factors associated with achieving a TO for gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) after curative-intent resection and analyzed the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) on TO and non-TO patients.
METHODS:
A total of 540 patients who underwent curative-intent resection for GBC at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2011 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to investigate the factors associated with TO.
RESULTS:
Among 540 patients with GBC who underwent curative-intent resection, 223 patients (41.3%) achieved a TO. The incidence of TO ranged from 19.0% to 51.0% across the study period, with a slightly increasing trend over the study period. The multivariate analysis showed that non-TO was an independent risk factor for prognosis among GBC patients after resection ( P = 0.003). Age ≤60 years ( P = 0.016), total bilirubin (TBIL) level ≤34.1 μmol/L ( P <0.001), well-differentiated tumor ( P = 0.008), no liver involvement ( P <0.001), and T1-2 stage disease ( P = 0.006) were independently associated with achieving a TO for GBC after resection. Before and after propensity score matching (PSM), the overall survival outcomes of non-TO GBC patients who received ACT and those who did not were statistically significant; ACT improved the prognosis of patients in the non-TO group ( P <0.05).
CONCLUSION
Achieving a TO is associated with a better long-term prognosis among GBC patients after curative-intent resection, and ACT can improve the prognosis of those with non-TO.

Objective :
To investigate the impact of SOX4 on ovarian granulosa cells,stable overexpression of SOX4 was achieved in human KGN cell line,followed by analysis of its effects on proliferation,migration and apoptosis.
Methods :
The recombinant lentiviral plasmid pLV-EF1a-GFP / Puro-SOX4 was generated through homologous recombination with linearized pLV-EF1a-GFP / Puro vector.Human ovarian granulosa cells ( KGN cell line ) were transduced with Lentiviral expression vectors.KGN cells infected with pLV-EF1a-GFP / Puro-NC were served as the LV-CON group,while those infected with pLV-EF1a-GFP / Puro-SOX4 were designated as the LV-SOX4 group.Following transfection,puromycin selection was employed to establish stable SOX4-expressing KGN cells.The expres- sion levels of SOX4 m RNA and protein in KGN cells from the LV-CON and LV-SOX4 groups were assessed using RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis.Cell proliferation was assessed using the CCK-8 assay in both LV-CON and LV-SOX4 groups.Cell migration ability was evaluated by means of a cell scratch test in these two groups.The proportion of apoptotic cells was determined via flow cytometry analysis in both LV-CON and LV-SOX4 groups.
Results:
The sequencing results of pLV-EF1a-GFP / Puro-SOX4 indicated a complete match between the inserted gene se- quence and the SOX4 mRNA sequence.The lentiviral titers were 7 × 108 TU / ml in the LV-CON group and 1 × 108 TU / ml in the LV-SOX4 group.The recombinant plasmid was successfully transfected into KGN cells with a transfection efficiency of over 90% under fluorescence inverted microscopy.The results of RT-qPCR and Western blot tests demonstrated a significant increase in the expression level of SOX4 in KGN cells of LV-SOX4 group compared to that of LV-CON group (t = 3. 10,P <0. 05 ; t = 14. 20,P <0. 05) .The CCK-8 assay results demonstrated that the LV-SOX4 group exhibited a significant increase in cell proliferation (24 h : t = 45. 92,P<0. 01 ; 72 h : t = 25. 60,P <0. 01) compared to the LV-CON group.The cell scratch assay indicated that the migratory capacity of KGN cells in the LV-SOX4 group was significantly enhanced (t = 7. 65,P <0. 01) compared to that in the LV-CON group. The LV-SOX4 group exhibited a significant reduction in apoptosis ratio (t = 25. 84,P<0. 01) compared to the LV- CON group.
Conclusion
SOX4-overexpressing KGN cell line was successfully established,and the overexpression of SOX4 facilitated proliferation and migration while inhibiting apoptosis in human ovarian granulosa cells.
