ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of long intergenic non-coding RNA02086 （LINC02086） overexpression mediated macrophage polarization on the proliferation， migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells. MethodsThe expression levels of LINC02086 in the human gastric epithelial cell line GES-1 and human gastric cancer cell lines HCG-27， NCI-N87， and AGS were determined by qRT-PCR. Human acute monocytic leukemia cells （THP-1） were induced to differentiate into M0 macrophages using phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate （PMA）. HGC-27 cells were infected with either LINC02086 overexpression lentivirus （OE-LINC02086） or its negative control lentivirus （Vector）， and the culture supernatants were collected as conditioned medium （CM1）. M0 macrophages were co-cultured with the infected HGC-27 cells， and the resulting supernatants were designated as conditioned medium 2 （CM2）. M0 macrophages were treated with CM1 alone or in combination with Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor IWR-1， forming the Vector+CM1， OE-LINC02086+CM1， and OE-LINC02086+CM1+IWR-1 groups， respectively. Flow cytometry was used to detect mannose receptor C-type 1 （CD206） expression， and qRT-PCR was employed to measure mRNA levels of interleukin-10 （IL⁃10）， transforming growth factor-β （TGF⁃β）， vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）， and chemokine ligand 22 （CCL22）. Western blot was performed to evaluate protein expression of CD206， VEGF， and key components of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway—Wnt family member 3a （Wnt3a）， glycogen synthase kinase-3β （GSK-3β）， and β-catenin. HGC-27 cells were treated with CM2 alone or combined with IWR-1， establishing the Vector+CM2， OE-LINC02086+CM2， and OE-LINC02086+CM2+IWR-1 groups. CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate cell proliferation， and Transwell assays were conducted to assess migration and invasion capabilities. ResultsCompared with GES-1 cells， the expression levels of LINC02086 were upregulated in HCG-27， NCI-N87， and AGS cells （P < 0.05）， with the smallest increase observed in HCG-27 cells. Compared with Vector+CM1 group， the level of CD206 and the expression levels of IL⁃10， TGF⁃β， VEGF and CCL22 mRNA in macrophages stimulated by OE-LINC02086+CM1 increased （P<0.05）. Meanwhile， the expression levels of Wnt3a and β-catenin proteins in cells increased （P<0.05）， and the expression level of GSK-3β protein decreased （P<0.05）. However， co-treatment with IWR-1 markedly reversed the promoting effects of LINC02086 overexpression on the expression of M2 polarization markers， including CD206， IL⁃10， and TGF⁃β mRNA， in macrophages （P<0.05）， as well as its activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway （P<0.05）. Compared with Vector+CM2 group， HGC-27 cells infected with OE-LINC02086+CM2 had increased proliferation activity and increased number of migration and invasion cells （P<0.05）. However， the combined intervention of IWR-1 significantly reversed the promotion of LINC02086 overexpression on the proliferation， migration and invasion of HGC-27 cells （P<0.05）. ConclusionLINC02086 overexpression promotes the proliferation， migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells by activating Wnt/β-catenin pathway to mediate M2 polarization of macrophages.

With the rapid advancement of hemodynamic indices and monitoring technologies, their classification methods and application processes have become increasingly complex. Currently, no unified standard hasbeen established, making it difficult to fully meet the clinical requirements for hemodynamic management. To assist in hemodynamic monitoring assessment and therapeutic decision-making in critically ill patients, the Critical Hemodynamic Therapy Collaborative Group, in conjunction with the Critical Ultrasound Study Group, has jointly developed the Standard for the Application of Hemodynamic Monitoring Techniques in Critical Care. The first part of this standard systematically categorizes hemodynamic indicators into flow indicators, pressure and its derivative indicators, and tissue perfusion indicators, while elaborating on the clinical application of each. The second part establishes a standardized clinical implementation pathway for hemodynamic monitoring. It proposes a tiered monitoring strategy-comprising basic, advanced, indication-specific, and special scenario monitoring-tailored to different clinical settings. It emphasizes the central role of critical care ultrasound across all levels of monitoring and establishes hemodynamic assessment standards for organs such as the brain, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. This standard aims to provide a unified framework for clinical practice, teaching, training, and research in critical care medicine, thereby promoting standardized development within the discipline.

Objective: To investigate the visual acuity and correction conditions of children and adolescents in Shanghai, so as to provide a scientific basis for developing intervention measures to prevent myopia and protect vision among children and adolescents. Methods: From October to December 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling survey was conducted, involving 47 034 students from 16 municipal districts in Shanghai, covering kindergartens (≥5 years), primary schools, middle schools, general high schools and vocational high schools. According to the Guidelines for Screening Refractive Errors in Primary and Secondary School Students, the Standard Logarithmic Visual acuity Chart was used to examine naked vision and corrected vision of students, and general information was collected. The distribution and severity of visual impairment in different age groups were analyzed, and χ 2 tests and multivariate Logistic regression were used to explore factors associated with visual impairment. Results: The detection rate of visual impairment among children and adolescents was 76.2%, with a higher rate among females (78.8%) than males ( 73.8 %), higher among Han ethic students ( 76.2 %) than minority students (71.2%), and higher among urban students (76.7%) than suburban students (75.8%), all with statistically significant differences ( χ 2=162.6, 10.4, 5.5, P <0.05). The rate of visual impairment initially decreased and then increased with age, reaching its lowest at age 7 (53.8%) and peaking at age 17 (89.6%) ( χ 2 trend = 3 467.0 , P <0.05). Severe visual impairment accounted for the majority, at 56.6%, and there was a positive correlation between the severity of visual impairment and age among children and adolescents ( r =0.45, P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression showed that age, BMI, gender, ethnicity and urban suburban status were associated with visual impairment ( OR =1.18, 1.01, 1.38 , 0.79, 0.88, P <0.05). Among those with moderate to severe visual impairment, the rate of spectacle lens usage was 62.8%, yet only 44.8 % of those who used spectacle lens had fully corrected visual acuity. Females (64.9%) had higher spectacle lens usage rates than males (60.6%), and general high school students had the highest spectacle lens usage (83.9%), and there were statistically significant differences in gender and academic stages ( χ 2=57.7, 4 592.8, P <0.05). Conclusions The rate of spectacle lens usage among students with moderate to severe visual impairment is relatively low, and even after using spectacle lens, some students still do not achieve adequate corrected visual acuity. Efforts should focus on enhancing public awareness of eye health and refractive correction and improving the accessibility of related health services.

Objective:To observe the effects of Maxing Loushi decoction on the inflammatory response and inflammatory indicators in mice with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) models.Methods:Thirty-six BALB/C mice were randomly divided into 4 groups by random number table method: 10 mice in the COPD model group (referred to as the model group), 10 mice in the Maxing Loushi decoction group (referred to as the traditional Chinese medicine group), 10 mice in the programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitor group (referred to as the control group), and 6 mice in the normal group. The COPD models of mice in the model group, the traditional Chinese medicine group and the control group were prepared by cigarette smoking combined with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction method. During the modeling process, the model group and the traditional Chinese medicine group were respectively given normal saline and Maxing Loushi decoction by gavage. The control group was given intraperitoneal injection of PD-1 inhibitor, while the normal group was given intragastric administration of normal saline. Pathological changes of lung tissues in each group of mice were detected by HE staining. The levels of inflammatory factors [monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)] in the plasma and alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of mice in each group were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The effects of Maxing Loushi decoction intervention on inflammatory responses and inflammatory factors were evaluated.Results:The lung tissue structure in the normal group was basically normal. There was no thickening of the alveolar walls, no infiltration of neutrophils in the tissues, and no obvious inflammatory infiltration. In the model group, the lung tissue structure was slightly abnormal. A small amount of alveolar atrophy could be observed, the alveolar walls were slightly thickened, and inflammatory infiltration could be seen. In the traditional Chinese medicine group, the lung tissue structure was slightly abnormal. A small amount of alveolar atrophy and collapse could be observed, the alveolar walls were not thickened, and individual neutrophil infiltration could be seen in the tissue. In the control group, the lung tissue structure was slightly abnormal, some alveoli atrophied, and a small amount of neutrophil infiltration could be seen in the tissue. The levels of MCP-1 and MIP-1α in plasma and lavage fluid of the model group were significantly higher than those of the normal group (all P<0.05), while the levels of MCP-1 and MIP-1α in plasma and lavage fluid of the traditional Chinese medicine group and the control group were significantly lower than those of the model group (all P<0.05). Moreover, the levels of plasma MCP-1 and MIP-1α in the traditional Chinese medicine group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in the levels of MCP-1 and MIP-1α in alveolar lavage fluid between the traditional Chinese medicine group and the control group (all P>0.05). The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in plasma and alveolar lavage fluid of the model group were significantly higher than those of the normal group (all P<0.05), while the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in plasma and alveolar lavage fluid of the traditional Chinese medicine group and the control group were significantly lower than those of the model group (all P<0.05). Moreover, the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in plasma and alveolar lavage fluid of the traditional Chinese medicine group were significantly lower than those of the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The intervention of Maxing Loushi decoction has a significant improvement effect on the inflammatory response of COPD model mice. Inflammatory factors such as MCP-1, MIP-1α, IL-6, and TNF-α can be used as indicators to determine the degree of COPD inflammation.

Objectives:To explore the predictive value of residual Murray's law-based quantitative flow ratio(μQFR)on long-term vessel-oriented composite endpoints(VoCE).Methods:This retrospective study included 3 510 patients from the FAVOR Ⅲ China trial.Offline residual μQFR analysis was performed on all vessels(diameter≥2.5 mm)with 50%-90%stenotic lesions.Patients were stratified into high-,intermediate-,and low-risk groups based on residual μQFR tertiles.The primary endpoint was 3-year VoCE,defined as a composite of cardiac death related to the target vessel,target vessel-related spontaneous myocardial infarction,and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization.Results:Offline analysis was performed on 5 256 vessels from 3 510 patients.The mean residual μQFR was 0.92±0.75.The high-risk group(residual μQFR≤0.91)with 1 554 patients(1 958 vessels);the intermediate-risk group(residual μQFR 0.92-0.96)with 1 211 patients(1 906 vessels);and the low-risk group(residual μQFR>0.96)with 745 patients(1 392 vessels).Over 3-year follow-up,VoCE occurred in 227 vessels(4.3%).The 3-year VoCE incidence was significantly higher in the high-risk group compared to the intermediate-and low-risk groups(6.2%vs.4.1%vs.2.5%,log-rank P<0.001),primarily driven by ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization(5.0%vs.3.0%vs.1.6%,log-rank P<0.001).Hypertension(OR=0.83,95%CI:0.72-0.96),hypercholesterolemia(OR=0.84,95%CI:0.73-0.97),bifurcation lesions(OR=0.72,95%CI:0.63-0.83),moderate/severe calcification(OR=0.70,95%CI:0.57-0.84),and tandem lesions(OR=0.59,95%CI:0.47-0.75)were independent predictors of lower residual μQFR values.Conclusions:Lower residual μQFR is significantly associated with increased VoCE risk during the 3-year follow up period.

[Purpose]To analyze the survival rate of prostate cancer patients hospitalized in Nan-tong Tumor Hospital from 2007 to 2017.[Methods]A total of 478 prostate cancer patients were admitted in Nantong Tumor Hospital from 2007 to 2017 and 476 cases(99.58％)were followed up till December 31,2020.The survival rate of patients was analyzed with Kaplan-Meier method;Soft-ware SPSS 25.0 and the Log-rank test were employed for statistical analysis.[Results]The aver-age age of prostate cancer patients at admission was(71.74±8.02)years old,and 79.08％were aged 60～79 years.The median survival time was 43 months,and the observed 1-,3-,5-and 10-year survival rates were 77.20％,56.07％,43.01％and 24.53％,respectively.The 5-year survival rates for the age groups of 35～59,60～79 and ≥80 years old were 31.73％,46.64％and 29.65％,respectively(P＜0.05).The 5-year survival rates for patients with stage Ⅰ～Ⅱ,stage Ⅲ,stage IV,and unknown stage were 88.10％,71.66％,33.35％and 37.55％,respectively(P＜0.001).The 5-year survival rates for the periods 2007-2012 and 2013-2017 were 32.85％and 47.79％,re-spectively(P＜0.05).Furthermore survival rates differed significantly across different regions within the jurisdiction(P＜0.05).[Conclusion]Over the past decade,the survival rate of hospital-based prostate cancer patients has significantly improved.Early-stage cases can achieve better survival rates,but the survival rate of elderly patients remains a challenge.Efforts should be made to reduce the proportion of patients with unknown staging Comprehensive measures for prostate cancer prevention and control should be strengthened to reduce incidence,improve prognosis and enhance quality of life of patients.

Objective To explore the relationship between peripheral blood mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)copy number and urinary microalbumin(MAlb)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods 87 patients with T2DM from the Endocrinology Department of East Hospital of Tongji University were selected based on inclusion criteria.According to urinary MAlb levels,patients were divided into T2DM group(MAlb＜30 mg/L)and MAlb group(MAlb＞30 mg/L).General patient information was collected,and clinical indicators such as blood glucose,lipid profile,glycated hemoglobin and insulin were measured.Peripheral blood mtDNA was extracted and the copy number was detected using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for albuminuria.Results Compared with T2DM group,DM duration,serum creatinine,serum uric acid and copy number of mtDNA in MAlb group increased(P＜0.05),while high density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased(P＜0.05).Logistic analysis showed that the copy number of mtDNA was the influencing factor of MAlb in T2DM patients.Conclusions The peripheral blood mtDNA copy number in T2DM patients is positively correlated with urinary microalbumin,thus providing a potential target for early detection of DKD.

An assay was established for detection of toxigenic Clostridioides difficile by combining microfluidic chip analysis with immunochromatography,and its performance was evaluated and compared with those of the Xpert C.difficile/Epi and VIDAS CD AB tests.Primer pairs were designed according to the tcdB and tpi genes in C.difficile.The specificity,limit of detection,reproducibility,and stability were evaluated.A total of 215 stool samples from patients with diarrhea were collected and tested in parallel with the Xpert C.difficile/Epi,VIDAS CDAB,and our assay.C.difficile was isolated from samples,and the tcdB gene was identified when discrepant results were obtained from the three above assays.Our assay showed no cross-reaction with other diarrhea-associated pathogens.Its reproducibility was 100％in testing of two standard plasmids containing tcdB and tpi genes at two concentrations(105 and 102 copies/μL).Two standard plasmids were detected after the PCR and immunochromatography reagents had been stored for 3,6,9,and 12 months,and all the results were posi-tive.The limit of detection was 10 copies/μL for toxigenic C.difficile.Testing of 33 samples positive for C.difficile with our assay(33/215,15.3％)yielded findings statistically coherent with those of the Xpert C.difficile/Epi test(kappa value=0.965).The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,and negative predictive value of our assay,with respect to Xpert C.difficile/Epi as the standard,were 94.3％,100.0％,100.0％,and 98.9％;these values were significantly higher than those of VIDAS CDAB(60.0％,98.9％,91.3％,and 92.7％)(Kappa=0.714,OR=157.50,95％CI:62.03-847.28,P=0.013).In conclusion,our newly developed assay is specific,stable,and reproducible,and may be used for rapid and accu-rate detection of toxigenic C.difficile.The assay could be used for C.difficile infection screening in outpatient and emergen-cy,community medical service center,and epidemiological settings.

Objective To explore the changes of durability properties of reusable surgical gowns when used in dry and wet conditions.Methods Reusable surgical gowns made of single-layer polyester fiber or 3-layer composite material were selected as test samples,and a Martindale abrasion and pilling tester was used as the basic test platform and modified to form fixtures suitable for the wet state environment.The reusable surgical gowns underwent abrasion experiments in wet and dry conditions to observe the changes in their fiber structure,and were subjected to water penetration resistance and swelling strength tests.Results Visually the reusable surgical gowns had few changes of the microscopic textile fiber structure in dry and wet conditions,and the gowns made of single-layer polyster fiber gained advantages over the outer layers of those of 3-layer composite material in abrasion resistance with the same friction cycles.In dry and wet conditions,the hydrostatic pressure values of the gowns of single-layer polyster fiber gradually decreased with the increase of the degree of abrasion,which were always lower than those of the gowns of 3-layer composite material;the swelling strength of the gowns of single-layer polyster fiber was always greater than that of the gowns of 3-layer composite material,which decreased with the deterioration of the wear more significantly than that of the gowns of 3-layer composite material.Conclusion The reusable surgical gowns made of single-layer polyester fiber or 3-layer composite material have few differences in durability and protective properties at the early stages of ablation in dry and wet conditions.The durability of the gowns decreases as the degree of wear increases,while the trend of the decrease is slowing down until the fabric breaks down and completely loses its barrier effect.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(6):28-33]
