Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of male genitourinary system. Prostate cancer has the following characteristics: insidious onset, early asymptomatic or not obvious symptoms, complex etiology and pathogenesis, long incubation period and so on. Therefore, the realization of its early diagnosis and treatment is of great significance to the prognosis of patients. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type 2 transmembrane glycoprotein that is highly expressed on the membrane of almost all primary and metastatic prostate cancer cells, and is an ideal target for prostate cancer imaging and treatment. In recent years, with the approval of urea-containing small molecule PET (positron emission computed tomography) radiopharmaceutical based on PSMA (68Ga-PSMA-11, 18F-PSMA-1007), PET-CT (positron emission computed tomography/computed tomography) has shown new potential for early diagnosis and accurate staging of prostate cancer patients. This review mainly summarizes the research progress of urea-containing PSMA PET imaging agents and finds that they have defects such as uptake in non-target tissues like the kidneys, lacrimal glands, and salivary glands. Thus, further optimizing their structure to reduce the uptake in non-target tissues, providing provide convenience for the labeling of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, thereby achieving the goal of integrated diagnosis and treatment, is an important development direction in this field.

PURPOSE:
To assess the relationship between dislocation and functional outcomes in supination-external rotation (SER) ankle fractures.
METHODS:
A retrospective case series study was performed on patients with ankle fractures treated surgically at a large trauma center from January 2015 to December 2021. The inclusion criteria were young and middle-aged patients of 18 - 65 years with SER ankle fractures that can be classified by Lauge-Hansen classification and underwent surgery at our trauma center. Exclusion criteria were serious life-threatening diseases, open fractures, fractures delayed for more than 3 weeks, fracture sites ≥ 2, etc. Then patients were divided into dislocation and no-dislocation groups. Patient demographics, injury characteristics, surgery-related outcomes, and postoperative functional outcomes were collected and analyzed. The functional outcomes of SER ankle fractures were assessed postoperatively at 1-year face-to-face follow-up using the foot and ankle outcome score (FAOS) and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle hindfoot score and by 2 experienced orthopedic physicians. Relevant data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.0 by Chi-square or t-test.
RESULTS:
During the study period, there were 371 ankle fractures. Among them, 190 (51.2%) were SER patterns with 69 (36.3%) combined with dislocations. Compared with the no-dislocation group, the dislocation group showed no statistically significant differences in gender, age composition, fracture type, diabetes, or smoking history, preoperative waiting time, operation time, and length of hospital stay (all p > 0.05), but a significantly higher Lauge-Hansen injury grade (p < 0.001) and syndesmotic screw fixation rate (p = 0.033). Moreover, the functional recovery was poorer, revealing a significantly lower FAOS in the sport/rec scale (p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that among SER IV ankle fracture patients, FAOS was much lower in pain (p = 0.042) and sport/rec scales (p < 0.001) for those with dislocations. American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle hindfoot score revealed no significant difference between dislocation and no-dislocation patients.
CONCLUSION
Dislocation in SER ankle fractures suggests more severe injury and negatively affects functional recovery, mainly manifested as more pain and poorer motor function, especially in SER IV ankle cases.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

Objective:To investigate the effects and related mechanisms of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) AC092295.2 expression on the proliferation and invasion abilities of endometrial cancer cells.Methods:The correlations between AC092295.2 expression level and overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of endometrial cancer patients (180 cases) were analyzed by cBioPortal database (updated in 2022). The miRNA with complementary nucleotide sequences to AC092295.2 was predicted by DIANA Tools sequencing tool. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the relative expression of AC092295.2 in human immortalised endometrial epithelial cell line hEEC and human endometrial cancer cell lines (KLE, AN3CA, Ishikawa, HEC-1A). Ishikawa cells with the lowest expression level of AC092295.2 were selected and divided into AC092295.2 overexpression group and control group, which were transfected with pGEX-AC092295.2 plasmid and pGEX-NC plasmid, respectively. qRT-PCR was used to detect the relative expression levels of AC092295.2 and miRNA-200c-3p (miR-200c-3p) in the two groups of cells. Methyl thiazol tetrazolium (MTT) method was used to detect cell viability. Transwell assay was used to detect cell invasion ability. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of proteins related to PTEN-AKT pathway. The dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between AC092295.2 and miR-200c-3p.Results:The analysis results of cBioPortal database showed that the OS and DFS of endometrial cancer patients with high expression of AC092295.2 were better than those of patients with low expression (both P < 0.001); the expression levels of AC092295.2 and miR-200c-3p in endometrial cancer tissues were negatively correlated ( r = -0.846, P < 0.001). The results of qRT-PCR detection showed that the relative expression levels of AC092295.2 in endometrial cancer cell lines KLE, AN3CA, Ishikawa, HEC-1A and immortalized endometrial epithelial cell line hEEC were 0.56±0.09, 0.68±0.06, 0.17±0.07, 0.49±0.12 and 0.99±0.11, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 35.10, P < 0.001); the relative expression levels of AC092295.2 in Ishikawa cells in the AC092295.2 overexpression group and the control group were 8.92±1.78 and 1.06±0.39, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 4.31, P = 0.005). MTT assay results showed that the cell viability of Ishikawa cells in the AC092295.2 overexpression group was lower than that in the control group on days 2, 3, 4, and 5 (all P < 0.05). Transwell assay results showed that the number of invasive Ishikawa cells in the AC092295.2 overexpression group and the control group were 73±4 and 135±14, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 4.25, P = 0.005). Western blotting results showed that the relative expression level of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) protein in Ishikawa cells in the AC092295.2 overexpression group was higher than that in the control group, while the relative expression levels of phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT), Yes associated protein (YAP), murine double mimute 2 (MDM2), and bcl-2-associated death-promoting factor (BAD) proteins were lower than those in the control group. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay and qRT-PCR verified that AC092295.2 targeted negative regulation of miR-200c-3p expression. Conclusions:AC092295.2 is lowly expressed in endometrial cancer cells. Overexpression of AC092295.2 can inhibit the proliferation and invasion abilities of endometrial cancer cells, and its mechanism may be related to the expression of miR-200c-3p-PTEN-AKT signaling pathway.

The development and validation of clinical prediction models based on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning methods have become increasingly widespread. However, the prediction model bias risk and applicability evaluation tool developed in 2019 (i.e., PROBAST-2019) has shown significant limitations. Therefore, an expanded and updated version of the PROBAST-2019 tool was released in 2025, known as the PROBAST+AI tool. The tool is divided into two parts including model development and model evaluation. It aims to comprehensively and systematically evaluate potential methodological quality issues in model development, bias risks in model evaluation, and the applicability of models, regardless of the modeling method used. This paper provides a systematic interpretation of the PROBAST+AI tool's items and case analyses, with the aim of guiding and assisting researchers engaged in related studies and promoting the high-quality development of clinical predictive model research.

Glutamine provides carbon and nitrogen to support the proliferation of cancer cells. However, the precise reason why cancer cells are particularly dependent on glutamine remains unclear. In this study, we report that glutamine modulates the tumor suppressor F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7 (FBW7) to promote cancer cell proliferation and survival. Specifically, lysine 604 (K604) in the sixth of the 7 substrate-recruiting WD repeats of FBW7 undergoes glutaminylation (Gln-K604) by glutaminyl tRNA synthetase. Gln-K604 inhibits SCFFBW7-mediated degradation of c-Myc and Mcl-1, enhances glutamine utilization, and stimulates nucleotide and DNA biosynthesis through the activation of c-Myc. Additionally, Gln-K604 promotes resistance to apoptosis by activating Mcl-1. In contrast, SIRT1 deglutaminylates Gln-K604, thereby reversing its effects. Cancer cells lacking Gln-K604 exhibit overexpression of c-Myc and Mcl-1 and display resistance to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. Silencing both c-MYC and MCL-1 in these cells sensitizes them to chemotherapy. These findings indicate that the glutamine-mediated signal via Gln-K604 is a key driver of cancer progression and suggest potential strategies for targeted cancer therapies based on varying Gln-K604 status.
