ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of honokiol on proliferation， apoptosis， migration， and invasion of gastric cancer cells and its underlying mechanistic. MethodsHuman gastric cancer cell lines HGC-27 and AGS were treated with Honokiol at concentrations of 0， 15， and 25 μmol/L. CCK-8 assays were conducted to determine the half maximal inhibitory concentration （IC₅₀） for both cell lines. Cell viability， proliferation， migration， and invasion capabilities were assessed using CCK-8， colony formation， wound healing， Transwell migration and Transwell invasion assays. Apoptosis rates were measured via flow cytometry. Western blot analysis examined proteins related to proliferation， apoptosis， migration， invasion， and the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway ATF4-CHOP-TRIB3. ResultsCompared with the control group， treatment with 15 and 25 μmol/L Honokiol significantly reduced the proliferation， colony formation， migration， and invasion capabilities of the two gastric cancer cell lines， while significantly increasing the apoptosis rate （P<0.05）. Additionally， compared to the control group， the protein expression levels of neural cadherin（N-cadherin）， Vimentin， proliferating cell nuclear antigen（PCNA）， and B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 protein（Bcl-2）decreased in the two gastric cancer cell lines after treatment with 15 and 25 μmol/L Honokiol， while the protein expression levels of epithelial cadherin（E-cadherin）， Bcl-2-associated X protein（Bax）， activating transcription factor 4（ATF4）， endoplasmic reticulum stress-related protein（CHOP）， and tribbles homolog 3（TRIB3）increased（P<0.05）. ConclusionHonokiol promotes apoptosis and inhibits proliferation， migration， and invasion of gastric cancer HGC-27 and AGS cells by regulating the ERS signaling pathway ATF4/CHOP/TRIB3.

Pancreatic portal hypertension （PPH） is a type of regional portal hypertension secondary to pancreatic diseases and their complications. Unlike portal hypertension caused by liver cirrhosis， PPH is confined to the splenic venous system， and most patients tend to have normal liver function. Splenic vein obstruction and impaired blood return are the core mechanisms underlying the development of PPH， and isolated gastric fundal varices represent a characteristic manifestation of PPH. For patients with pancreatic diseases， it is necessary to establish early warning and risk stratification strategies， and high-quality studies are needed to further confirm the safety and efficacy of anticoagulation， surgical approaches， and interventional therapies in patients with PPH. This article systematically reviews the pathogenesis， etiological classification， clinical features， and key diagnostic points of PPH and discusses the current status of PPH treatment and existing challenges.

[Objective] To assess the data characteristics of quality monitoring indicators for red blood cell (RBC) preparations, so as to provide reference for continuous improvement of blood quality. [Methods] The quality inspection data of 6 types of RBC preparations from Chongqing blood center from 2019 to 2023 were summarized. For the same indicators, the numerical range of quality indicators was monitored by comparing different types of preparations with the national standard GB18469. The loss and/or damage to RBCs caused by different preparation process were compared, and the impact of different preparation processes on the quality of RBCs was discussed. [Results] The appearance and sterility test compliance rates of the six types of RBC preparations were both 100%, while the compliance rates of other items were all ≥75%. The compliance rate of hematocrit for suspended RBCs was the lowest at 75%, with a median of 0.52, which was close to the lower limit of GB18469, while the medians of hematocrit for the other types were all at the midline level of GB18469. The Hb content for different types of RBCs was significantly higher than the corresponding requirements of GB18469 (P<0.05). The hemolysis rate at the end of storage for different types of RBCs was significantly lower than the requirements of GB18469 (P<0.05). The 1 U leukoreduction process resulted in a hemoglobin content loss of about 5% and had a significant impact on the hemolysis rate at the end of storage (P<0.05). The washing process resulted in a hemoglobin content loss of <3% and had no significant impact on the hemolysis rate at the end of storage (P>0.05). The concentration process resulted in a hemoglobin content loss of <3% and had a significant impact on the hemolysis rate at the end of storage (P<0.05). [Conclusion] The impact of different processes on RBC preparations is within a controllable range and meets the requirements of GB18469. The quality monitoring data can provide a reference for clinical blood selection, effectiveness evaluation and revision of related standards.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of the success of clinical pregnancy in secondary infertility patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer(IVF-ET)and construct a nomogram prediction model.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 235 patients with secondary infertility who underwent IVF-ET at Urumqi Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023.They were divided into successful pregnancy group(n=109)and failed pregnancy group(n=1 26)based on whether clinical pregnancy was successful.The general information,ovulation induction data and embryo data of two groups of patients were compared.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen out statistically significant indicators,and based on this,a nomogram prediction model was constructed.The receiver operating characteristic curve,calibration curve and decision analysis curve were drawn to verify the discrimination,accuracy and clinical practicability of the model.Results The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the female's age,overweight and obesity were all risk factors for clinical pregnancy failure,while anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH)and the total amount of gonadotropins(Gn)were protective factor for clinical pregnancy outcomes.On this basis,a nomogram prediction model was successfully constructed,which has a medium degree of discrimination,good accuracy and clinical practicability.Conclusion For secondary infertility patients undergoing IVF-ET,the female's age,overweight and obesity,AMH,and the total amount of Gn have certain influences on clinical pregnancy.The clinical pregnancy outcome can be predicted through the constructed nomogram prediction model.

Objective To summarize the clinical and genetic characteristics of children with sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide(NTCP)deficiency.Methods Clinical data of children with NTCP deficiency diagnosed and treated at the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province from July 2022 to March 2025 were retrospectively analyzed.Results A total of 14 children were included(6 males,8 females),all with normal growth and development.Reasons for initial consultation included elevated serum bile acids in 7 cases,jaundice in 4 cases,cholestatic hepatitis in 1 case,and one case each of pneumonia and cow's milk protein allergy.At the first visit,all patients had elevated serum total bile acids beyond the normal range,with a mean of 152.5 μmol/L.Elevated alanine aminotransferase was observed in 1 case,elevated aspartate aminotransferase in 2 cases,and elevated total bilirubin in 10 cases.Genetic sequencing revealed that all children carried the homozygous SLC10A1 variant c.800C>T(p.Ser267Phe),classified as likely pathogenic.Conclusions NTCP deficiency often lacks obvious clinical symptoms and signs.Some children present with transient hyperbilirubinemia,cholestasis,or other liver function abnormalities.Persistent isolated elevation of serum bile acids warrants suspicion for this disease.Biallelic pathogenic variants in SLC10A1 constitute the basis for definitive diagnosis.There is no specific treatment for this disease,and management is mainly symptomatic.

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor,typically treated with a combination of surgery and chemotherapy in clinical practice.However,the increasing prevalence of chemotherapy resistance poses a significant challenge.Chemotherapy resistance can lead to a sharp decline in patients'survival rates.Traditional Chinese medicine,known for its low cost,wide-ranging efficacy,and diverse varieties,has attracted significant attention from researchers.Their attempts to investigate the sensitizing effect of extracted ingredients on osteosarcoma chemoresistance both in vitro and in vivo have yielded promising results.This review has summarized the studies of single traditional Chinese medicine ingredients on reversing osteosarcoma chemoresistance by the mechanisms of chemoresistance,and found that the current research of the clinical mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients in reversing osteosarcoma chemoresistance is still lacking,indicating significant potential for future development.Utilizing the theory of herbal medicine properties as the theoretical basis for ingredient development may provide novel strategies for the development of new therapeutic approaches.

Objective:To understand the current status and influencing factors for science and technology ethics awareness among medical postgraduates, explore scientific cultivation path, and provide empirical evidence for higher medical colleges to carry out science and technology ethics education.Methods:The study adopted a cluster sampling method and designed a questionnaire. A total of 2 095 medical postgraduates from Hebei Medical University participated in the survey from June to December 2023. SPSS 24.0 was used for non-parametric tests, and the ordered logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors.Results:A total of 1 992 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 95.08% (1 922/2 095). The qualified rate of science and technology ethics awareness among medical postgraduates was 90.76% (1 808/1 992), with 48.24% (961/1 992) of students falling into the good interval and 16.21% (323/1 992) falling into the excellent interval. The regression analysis showed that sex, academic category, students' attention to science and technology ethical issues, and understanding of ethical principles were significant influencing factors for medical postgraduates' science and technology ethics awareness ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The science and technology ethics awareness of medical postgraduates is at a medium level. Higher medical colleges should start from the needs and adhere to the direction of lifelong education to build a multi-subject, all-round, and all-process cultivation path. They can help students cultivate ethical awareness by improving the educational system, building a scientific teaching system, and creating a social education atmosphere. They can also help students internalize ethical norms and externalize them in their behaviors, and ensure that they can maintain ethical sensitivity in scientific and technological activities, thereby cultivating high-quality new medical and health professionals who can anticipate scientific and technological risks and assume ethical responsibilities.

A 57-year-old female patient with small cell lung cancer was treated with serplulimab (100 mg by intravenous infusion on the first day, 21 days as a cycle). After the 10th cycle of treatment, the patient suddenly presented drowsiness, shortness of breath, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and other symptoms. Laboratory tests showed fasting blood glucose 38.9 mmol/L, glycosylated hemoglobin 7.9%, serum C peptide 0.2 μg/L, pH value 7.05, anion gap 31 mmol/L, anti-islet cell antibody 36 kU/L, anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody 131 kU/L, urine ketone body (+++). The patient was diagnosed with fulminant type 1 diabetic ketoacidosis, which was considered to be related to serplulimab. The drug was stopped, and insulin, rehydration, correction of acid-base imbalance, and other treatments were given. After 3 days, the patient′s consciousness returned to normal. After 12 days, her breathing was stable, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms were relieved. Laboratory tests showed random blood glucose 13.6 mmol/L, pH value 7.44, anion gap 6 mmol/L, and urine ketone body negative. After 26 days, her random blood glucose was controlled at 10.0-12.0 mmol/L.
