Objective To analyze the predictive value of patient-reported outcomes(PRO)com-bined with hematological indicators for moderate-to-severe endoscopic activity in patients with ulcera-tive colitis(UC).Methods Clinical data of UC patients were retrospectively collected,including PRO,hematological parameters and endoscopic findings.Based on the Mayo endoscopic score,pa-tients were divided into remission and mild activity group(<2 points)and moderate-to-severe activity group(≥ 2 points).Independent influencing factors for moderate-to-severe endoscopic activity were screened through multivariate Logistic regression analysis,and a binary Logistic regression model was constructed.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the discriminato-ry ability of the predictive model.The calibration of the model was assessed using calibration curves and the Spiegelhalter Z-test,and the model's performance was further validated in an external valida-tion cohort.Results Rectal bleeding(RB),C-reactive protein/albumin(CAR)and erythrocyte sed-imentation rate(ESR)were independent influencing factors for moderate-to-severe endoscopic activity(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of the nomogram predictive model constructed based on the logistic regression analysis results was 0.848(95%CI,0.798 to 0.900),with sensitivity of 76.6%and specificity of 79.6%.In the external validation cohort,the model's AUC was 0.778(95%CI,0.699 to 0.857),and there was no statistically significant difference compared with the AUC of the training cohort model(P>0.05).In both the training and validation cohorts,the Spiegelhalter Z-test results indicated that the model had good goodness-of-fit(P>0.05).Conclu-sion RB,CAR and ESR are independent influencing factors for moderate-to-severe endoscopic ac-tivity in UC patients.The combination of RB,CAR and ESR has high predictive value for moderate-to-severe endoscopic activity in UC patients,with good discriminatory and calibration abilities.

Ubiquitination is a crucial post-translational modification that is extensively involved in the regulation of protein activity,signal transduction,and the maintenance of genomic stability.As an important member of the deubiquitinating enzyme(DUB)family,ubiquitin-specific protease 11(USP11)dynamically regulates the stability and function of key tumor proteins by targeting specific substrates for deubiquitination.This,in turn,influences various biological behaviors of tumor cells,including proliferation,apoptosis,migration,invasion,metastasis,and drug resistance,ultimately exhibiting a dual role in either promoting or inhibiting cancer.This article systematically reviewed the relevant research progress on the role of USP11 in tumorigenesis and development and provided an in-depth analysis of the specific mechanisms by which USP11 participates in cellular biological behav-iors,aiming to offer a theoretical basis for the future development of small-molecule inhibitors targeting USP11,the formulation of combination drug strategies,and the identification of effective biomarkers.

BACKGROUND:Glucosamine hydrochloride is considered to have the role in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Whether it is effective for varying degrees of osteoarthritis and whether there are efficacy differences between the combinations nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and simple glucosamine hydrochloride need further clinical research. OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical effects between glucosamine hydrochloride capsules and combined with celecoxib for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis through prospective study. METHODS:According to Lequesne score, 152 patients with knee osteoarthritis were divided into mild, moderate and severe groups, then each group was divided into groups treated just by glucosamine hydrochloride and groups treated by glucosamine hydrochloride combined with celecoxib randomly. The Lequesne score was recorded at 2, 4 and 6 weeks after drug administration and 8 and 12 weeks after drug withdrawal, and then the adverse reactions of glucosamine hydrochloride were compared between groups and before and after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the mild group, there was significant difference in Lequesne score of glucosamine hydrochloride group at 4 weeks after treatment and 12 weeks after drug withdrawal when compared with that before treatment;the Lequesne score was improved in the combined group at 2 weeks after treatment, and there was significant difference between two groups at 2 and 4 weeks after treatment, it showed that the combined group improved the score, which was more significant than the glucosamine hydrochloride group. In the moderate group, the Lequesne score in the glucosamine hydrochloride group was lower than that in the combined group at 2, 4 and 6 weeks after treatment and 8 weeks after drug withdrawal (P<0.05). It showed that the effect of glucosamine hydrochloride combined with celecoxib for the treatment of medium knee osteoarthritis was better than that of glucosamine hydrochloride. In the serious group, there was no significant difference in Lequesne score between two groups before and after treatment. The results indicate that the clinical symptoms of mild knee osteoarthritis patients can be significantly improved by a single use of glucosamine hydrochloride. To moderate osteoarthritis, combination therapy with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is recommended to improve clinical symptoms, and both of the two methods are invalid on severe knee osteoarthritis patients.
