Objective: To enhance the recognition of necrotizing sialometaplasia (NS) by elucidating its clinical, pathological characteristics and key diagnostic points, providing a basis for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Methods: This study has been reviewed and approved by the Medical Ethics Committee, and informed consent has been obtained from patients. Review the data of a patient with NS occurring at the junction of the right soft and hard palate, and comprehensively analyze its diagnostic process based on its clinical manifestations, imaging, and histopathological examination results. And review the relevant literature on the disease. Results: This study describes a 24-year-old male patient with a documented betel nut habit (2 pieces/day for >6 months), who presented with a bone-deep, irregular crateriform ulcer (3 mm × 6 mm × 5 mm) localized to the right hard-soft palate junction. Spiral CT showed a local soft tissue defect with no apparent underlying bone destruction. Histopathology demonstrated chronic inflammation of the mucosal and minor salivary gland tissues, with no evidence of malignancy. A final diagnosis of NS was established. The ulcer healed completely three weeks after initiation of local anti-inflammatory therapy. A literature review indicates that NS is a rare, benign salivary gland disorder, typically occurring at the hard-soft palate junction in middle-aged men (40-60 years). Its etiology remains unclear, but it is widely attributed to salivary lobe infarction following mechanical trauma-induced ischemia. Due to its clinical resemblance to malignancy, it is often misdiagnosed. Treatment entails local anti-inflammatory measures and meticulous wound care aimed at promoting mucosal healing. Conclusion NS is a self-limiting, benign condition that poses a significant diagnostic challenge due to its close clinical simulation of malignancy. Thus, accurate diagnosis requires a combined assessment of clinical presentation, radiological features, and pathological findings. Treatment is predicated based on a conservative strategy with an emphasis on symptomatic management.

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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the trend and influencing factors of newly reported human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positivity rate among men who had sex with men (MSM) in Shanghai from 2021 to 2024, and to provide evidence for formulating scientific prevention and control measures of AIDS. MethodsMultiple rounds of cross-sectional questionnaire surveys were conducted among MSM by Shanghai Qing’ai Health Promotion Center. Pearson and Cochran-Armitage trend χ² tests were used to analyze the differences and changes in population characteristics and newly reported HIV positivity rates. A logistic regression model was applied for multivariate analyses of factors associated with newly reported HIV positivity. ResultsA total of 1 653 MSM who had not been previously diagnosed with HIV infection were surveyed. The newly reported HIV positivity rates in 2021, 2023, and 2024 were 7.87%, 3.91%, and 3.06%, respectively, showing a decreasing trend (χ²_trend=13.460, P_trend<0.001). Multivariate analyses revealed that MSM aged 18‒<25 years, residing locally for <1 year, identifying as bisexual, lacking HIV knowledge, and having ≥10 same-sex partners in the past 6 months exhibited higher newly reported HIV positivity rates. Conversely, MSM knowledgeable about HIV prevention, residing locally for 1‒5 years, and engaging in oral sex with male partners in the past 6 months demonstrated lower HIV positivity rates. Annual analyses revealed that MSM with HIV knowledge had lower newly reported HIV positivity rates in 2023 and 2024 (aOR=0.300, 95%CI: 0.811‒0.111; aOR=0.202, 95%CI: 0.085‒0.483). ConclusionThe newly reported HIV positivity rate among MSM in Shanghai from 2021 to 2024 showed a decline. Future interventions should focus on young and mobile MSM, strengthen HIV knowledge education through platforms such as the internet, promote safe sexual behaviors and regular testing, and further expand the coverage of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) to control HIV transmission within this population.

Objective To establish a prediction model for the occurrence of non-occupational carbon monoxide poisoning events in Beijing, and to provide scientific basis and theoretical support for the prevention and warning of poisoning events. Methods Based on the monitoring data of non-occupational carbon monoxide poisoning events in Beijing from 2016 to 2024, the seasonal ARIMA model and seasonal index model were established to analyze the data and predict the occurrence of events. Results Between 2016 and 2024, a total of 436 cases of non-occupational carbon monoxide poisoning were reported in Beijing, showing a downward trend. The established SARIMA model and seasonal index model were SARIMA (1,0,0) (1,1,0) 12, Yt = (-0.0339t+5.8863) × St, and the average relative errors were 65.42% and 29.19%, respectively. In terms of months, the SARIMA model had better predictive performance during April and summer (June to August), while the seasonal index model was superior in other months. By combining the two models, the predicted number of events in 2025 was as follows: 3, 2, 2, 3, 1, 5, 2, 7, 1, 1, 1, and 2. Conclusion The seasonal index model has the best prediction effect on the non-occupational carbon monoxide poisoning events in Beijing throughout the year, and the number of summer events predicted by SARIMA model is closer to the actual values. The two models can be combined to predict the trend of non-occupational carbon monoxide poisoning, which provides a scientific basis for the prevention and control of carbon monoxide poisoning in the future.

OBJECTIVE To construct the drug utilization evaluation criteria for Dezocine injection,so as to provide reference for the rational drug use in medical institutions.METHODS On the basis of evidence methodology,relevant guidelines/expert consensus,systematic reviews/meta-analysis were consulted;the evaluation criteria framework for Dezocine injection was established after screening evidence.Delphi method was employed,whereby 28 clinicians and clinical pharmacists from secondary and above-level medical institutions across eight provinces,including Tianjin,Beijing and Shandong,were selected to participate in two rounds of questionnaire surveys.The final indicators were determined based on the experts'enthusiasm coefficient,authority coefficient,and degree of coordination.RESULTS The effective recovery rate of questionnaire was 100%in the first round and 92.86%in the second round;expert authority coefficient was 0.82 in the first round and 0.81 in the second round;the coordination degree of experts in the first round was 0.29,and in the second round was 0.31(P＜0.001).Drug utilization evaluation standard system for Dezocine injection was formed finally,including three dimensions of medication indications,medication process and medication results,with a total of 11 first-level indicators(such as indications,usage and dosage)and 33 second-level indicators(such as labor analgesia and the management of severe pain following major or moderate surgeries combined with other analgesic drugs).The average importance scores for each indicator ranged from 4.08 to 5.00 points,with an overall average score of 4.61 points and coefficient of variation ranging from 0 to 0.19.CONCLUSIONS The drug utilization evaluation criteria for Dezocine injection established based on evidence-based methodology and Delphi method is authoritative and scientific,which provides a reference for subsequent evaluation of the rationality of clinical medication.

This study aims to clarify the incidence and prevention status of dairy cow mastitis in 79 large-scale pastures in China in 2022,reduce the incidence of dairy cow mastitis,and provide scien-tific basis for formulating prevention and control strategies for dairy cow mastitis in large-scale pastures suitable for China's national conditions.The research team relied on the large-scale ranch of the Comprehensive Experimental Station of National Dairy Industry Technology System to car-ry out research.A total of 79 questionnaires were received.The information on the stock of large-scale farms,the proportion of cows in the herd,the level of cow yields,the incidence and cure rate of cow mastitis,the prevention and control of cow mastitis,diagnosis and treatment programs of cow mastitis,the cost of treating cow mastitis,and the culling rate of farms was collected.Chi-square test and correlation analysis were carried out on the incidence of mastitis in dairy cows and the prevention and control plan,treatment plan,yield level and elimination rate of mastitis in dairy cows by descriptive statistical cross table.The incidence of cow mastitis in some pastures was con-trolled between 5％and 10％,and the cure rate was mostly as high as 98％.According to the co-hort analysis,the importance of prevention and control measures for dairy cow mastitis was as fol-lows:DMT＞DHI＞milk yield＞milk traits＞breast apparent change＞electrical conductivity＞CMT.The importance of treatment measures for dairy cow mastitis is as follows:DMT＞DHI＞milk yield＞milk traits＞breast apparent changes＞electrical conductivity＞CMT.The importance of treatment measures for mastitis is as follows:traditional Chinese medicine＞pathogen detection and drug sensitivity test＞non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs＞regular maintenance of milking equipment＞normal milking without treatment＞broad-spectrum antibiotics.The incidence of mas-titis in dairy cows is moderately positively correlated with the yield per unit area,that is,the in-crease in the incidence of mastitis in dairy cows has a certain impact on the yield per unit area of dairy cows.Economic analysis shows that the treatment cost of mastitis is closely related to the in-cidence rate,and the treatment cost of pasture with higher incidence rate is higher.Pastures with higher yields usually have more efficient means of disease prevention and control,and the corre-sponding treatment costs are lower.In conclusion,China's large-scale pastures should strengthen the scientific feeding management level,improve the prevention and control methods to reduce the incidence of cow mastitis,improve the cure rate,and reduce the cost of pasture treatment.

Objective To explore the mechanism of IgA nephropathy(IgAN)caused by multi-glycosides of Tripterygium wilfordii(GTW)through the regulation of Silent information regulatory factor 1(SIRT 1)/nuclear transcription factor E2-related factor 2(Nrf 2)/antioxidant enzyme heme oxygenase 1(HO-1)signaling pathway.Methods Forty-five male SD rats were selected and randomly divided into two groups:the blank group(n=9)and the model group(n=36).In addition to the blank group,the BSA+CCl4+LPS group was used.At the end of 12 weeks,two rats were randomly selected for verification,and the model was successfully established.The 34 model rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:the model group(n=10),prednisone group(n=12),and GTW group(n=12).Urine,blood and kidney tissues were harvested 4 weeks after drug administration.Urinary erythrocyte number,24-h urinary protein quantification(24 h-UTP),alanine transaminase(ALT),serum albumin(ALB),urea nitrogen(BUN),and blood creatinine(SCr)were performed for each group;the protein expression of SIRT1,Nrf2,HO-1 and PINK1 was detected by Western blotting analysis;real-time polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)detection of SIRT1,Nrf2,HO-1 and PINK1 mRNA expression in rat kidney tissue;and detection of IgA deposition in the renal mesangial area by immunofluorescence.Kidney histopathological changes were observed in all the rats by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.Results The results compared with those in the blank group,the urinary red blood cell count and 24 h-UTP,ALT,BUN,and SCr levels were significantly greater(P<0.01);The ALB level was significantly lower(P<0.01);renal tissue SIRT1,Nrf2,HO-1,PINK1 protein and mRNA expression were significantly lower(P<0.01);IgA deposition in the mesentery was obvious;renal pathological damage was severe;and the difference was statistically significant. Compared with those in the model group,urinary red blood cell counts and 24 h-UTP,ALT,BUN,and SCr levels in the prednisone and GTW groups were significantly lower (P<0.01);ALB levels were significantly greater (P<0.01);SIRT1,Nrf2,HO-1,PINK1 protein and mRNA expression were significantly greater (P<0.01);IgA deposition in the mesangial area was reduced,and renal pathology was improved,with statistically significant difference. Conclusions GTW may alleviate oxidative stress injury,protect renal function,and improve renal injury by activating the SIRT 1/Nrf 2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effects of cornuside on intestinal injury in rats with septic shock,and clarify its possible mechanism.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model group,low-,medium-,and high-dose comecarpine glycosides groups,and TREM1 inhibitor(LR12)group.HE staining was used to observe the pathological injury of small intestinal mucosa.The levels of D-lactic acid(D-LA)and diamine oxidase(DAO)in serum and secretory immunoglobulin(sIg A)in small intestine were detected by ELISA.Intestinal mucosal permeability was detected by fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran(FITC-D)tracer method.ELISA was used to detect the levels of interferon(IFN)-γ,tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-10 and arginase(Arg)-1 in serum.The polarization of macrophages in small intestinal tissue was detected by flow cytometry.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1(TREM1),CD86 and CD206 in small intestine.Results Compared with the normal control group,the model group had serious pathological injury of the small intestinal mucosa,and the serum levels of D-LA,DAO,FITC-D,IFN-γ,TNF-α,and IL-1β significantly increased(P<0.05),while the levels of sIg A,IL-10,and Arg-1 significantly decreased(P<0.05).The M1/M2 ratio of macrophages and the expression levels of TREM1 and CD86 proteins in the small intestine tissue significantly increased(P<0.05),while the expression level of CD206 protein significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the small intestinal mucosal injury of the rats in each dose cornuside group and LR12 group significantly improved,and the serum levels of D-LA,DAO,FITC-D,IFN-γ,TNF-α,and IL-1β significantly decreased(P<0.05),while the levels of sIg A,IL-10,and Arg-1 significantly increased(P<0.05).The M1/M2 ratio of macrophages and the expression levels of TREM1 and CD86 proteins in the small intestine tissue significantly decreased(P<0.05),while the expression level of CD206 protein significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Cornuside can reduce intestinal injury in rats with septic shock,and the mechanism may be related to inhibiting TREM1-mediated M1 polarization of macrophages.

Aim To investigate the effect of Shenqi Dihuang decoction(SQDH)on henoch-schonlein pur-pura nephritis(HSPN)rats by regulating AMPK/Sirt1/Nrf2 mediated ferroptosis and the possible mech-anism.Methods Thirty SD rats were randomly divid-ed into a control group(Control),HSPN group,SQDH low-dose group(SQDH-L,5.4 g·kg-1),SQDH high-dose group(SQDH-H,21.6 g·kg-1),and SQDH high-dose+AMPK inhibitor group(SQDH-H+CC,20 mg·kg-1),with six rats in each group.Except for the control group,all other groups of rats were injected intraperitoneally with ovalbumin and complete Freund's adjuvant to establish HSPN rat models.After the successful construction of the model,each group of rats was orally administered with the cor-responding dosage or physiological saline once a day for five weeks.HE staining was used to observe the his-topathological changes in renal tissues;immunohisto-chemistry(IHC)was employed to detect the deposition of IgA and IgG in renal tissues;serum biochemical pa-rameters of renal function and urinary protein levels were measured;commercial assay kits were utilized to determine oxidative stress markers and Fe2+levels in renal tissues;Western blot analysis was performed to assess ferroptosis-related proteins and the protein ex-pression of the AMPK/Sirt1/Nrf2 signaling pathway in renal tissues.Results Compared with the control group,the HSPN group showed significant pathological damage in kidney tissue,with significantly increased scores,increased deposition of IgA and IgG in kidney tissue,decreased serum total protein(TP)and albu-min(ALB),and average increases in serum creatinine(Cre),urea nitrogen(BUN),and urinary protein levels(P＜0.05).The levels of MDA,ROS,Fe2+,and ACSL4 protein expression in the kidney tissue sig-nificantly increased,while SOD activity,SLC7A11,GPX4,p-AMPK/AMPK,Sirt1,and Nrf2 protein ex-pression significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Com-pared with the HSPN group,the pathological damage to renal tissue was reduced,IgA and IgG deposition in renal tissue decreased,TP and ALB decreased,Cre,BUN,and urinary protein levels were all reduced(P＜0.05),and the levels of MDA,ROS,Fe2+,and ACSL4 protein expression in renal tissue were signifi-cantly reduced in each dose group of SQDH rats.SOD activity,SLC7A11,GPX4,p-AMPK/AMPK,Sirt1,and Nrf2 protein expression significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the SQDH-H group,the AMPK inhibitor CC could inhibit the AMPK/Sirt1/Nrf2 signaling pathway induced ferroptosis and reverse the protective effect of SQDH on renal injury in HSPN rats.Conclusions SQDH can improve renal injury in HSPN rats,and its mechanism may be related to the activation of AMPK/Sirt1/Nrf2 signaling pathway to in-hibit ferroptosis.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between Kimmelstiel-Wilson nodule (KW nodule) and clinical indexes in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and analyze the efficacy of the clinical indexes in evaluating KW nodule.Methods:The clinical data of 60 patients with DKD from January 2015 to February 2024 in Jining First People′s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 35 patients had KW nodule (KW nodule group), and 25 patients did have KW nodule (non-KW nodule group). The clinical indexes, including hematological (creatinine, uric acid, urea nitrogen, globulin, albumin, glycosylated hemoglobin and hemoglobin) and urine routine (24 h urinary protein quantification, urinary red blood cell count and urinary white blood cell count) were recorded; the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between clinical indexes and KW nodule. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for KW nodule in patients with DKD. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the efficacy of clinical indexes in evaluating KW nodule.Results:The creatinine, urea nitrogen, 24 h urinary protein quantification and urine red blood cell count in KW nodule group were significantly higher than those in non-KW nodule group: 114 (89, 156) μmol/L vs. 70 (59, 87) μmol/L, 9.00 (6.90, 11.43) mmol/L vs. 5.10 (4.52, 7.55) mmol/L, 4.56 (2.36, 7.23) g vs. 1.40 (1.11, 1.97) g and (19.24 ± 12.64)×10 6/L vs. (9.24 ± 8.67)×10 6/L, the eGFR, albumin and hemoglobin were significantly lower than those in non-KW nodule group: (60.82 ± 28.16) ml/(min·1.73 m 2) vs. (98.34 ± 30.16) ml/(min·1.73 m 2), (30.21 ± 6.64) g/L vs. (39.89 ± 6.49) g/L and (107.54 ± 17.28) g/L vs. (136.87 ± 22.90) g/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); there were no statistical differences in uric acid, globulin, glycosylated hemoglobin and urinary white blood cell count between the two groups ( P>0.05). Spearman correlation analysis result showed that creatinine, urea nitrogen, 24 h urinary protein quantification and urine red blood cell count were positively correlated with KW nodule ( r = 0.471, 0.559, 0.510 and 0.411; P<0.01); the eGFR, albumin and hemoglobin were negatively correlated with KW nodule ( r = - 0.607, - 0.590 and - 0.600; P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that high 24 h urinary protein quantification and low albumin were independent risk factors for KW nodule in patients with DKD ( OR = 3.415 and 0.829, 95% CI 1.002 to 8.956 and 0.690 to 0.995, P<0.05). ROC curve analysis result showed that the areas under the curve of eGFR, hemoglobin, albumin, creatinine, 24 h urinary protein quantification and urine red blood cell count for KW nodule in patients with DKD were 0.852, 0.840, 0.848, 0.836, 0.881 and 0.768, respectively; the optimal cut-off values were 69.00 ml/(min·1.73 m 2), 110.00 g/L, 31.75 g/L, 96.10 μmol/L, 2.60 g and 15.52 × 10 6/L. Conclusions:There is a good correlation between KW nodule and the clinical features of DKD patients. Decreased renal function, anemia, proteinuria and hypoproteinemia have strong suggestive effects on KW nodule. Especially, proteinuria is more closely related.
