[摘 要] 目的:探讨胰岛素样生长因子2 mRNA结合蛋白3(IGF2BP3)、尿苷二磷酸-葡萄糖醛酸脱羧酶1(UXS1)在肝细胞癌(HCC)中的表达特征、预后价值及两者协同作用的分子机制。方法:整合UALCAN、cBioPortal、ENCORI、TISCH2、GDSC等公共数据库的转录组数据,对IGF2BP3和UXS1进行表达、预后评估、功能富集及药物敏感性等分析。收集GEO数据库的单细胞RNA测序(scRNA-seq)数据,分析细胞通信、单细胞代谢评分,系统解析IGF2BP3-UXS1轴在HCC中的具体作用。结果:IGF2BP3、UXS1在HCC组织中均显著高表达,且高表达患者总生存期显著缩短(均P < 0.05)。采用CRISPP技术敲除IGF2BP3或UXS1后,多种HCC细胞的增殖能力受到明显抑制。scRNA-seq分析揭示了IGF2BP3、UXS1在肝细胞等细胞类型中的广泛表达分布,前者在细胞分化晚期上调,后者则在细胞分化早、中期高表达。IGF2BP3、UXS1高表达组均显著激活了MIF通路,同时IGF2BP3的高表达削弱了成纤维细胞的相互作用,而UXS1的高表达则增强了T细胞的信号转导功能。IGF2BP3与UXS1在表达相关性中存在显著的正相关(r = 0.432,P < 0.05)。沉默IGF2BP3结合位点会导致UXS1表达水平变化(F = 0.333)。功能富集分析提示,IGF2BP3与UXS1协同调控能量代谢、蛋白质翻译等生物学过程。在IGF2BP3或UXS1高表达的细胞亚群中,发现两者与多个糖代谢相关通路存在显著关联。IGF2BP3、UXS1高表达的患者对优普色替等药物表现出显著的敏感性,还对药物那维托克等表现出显著的耐药性。结论: IGF2BP3、UXS1在HCC中高表达,两者通过调控糖代谢重编程的协同作用促进HCC恶性生物学行为。

Objective:
To investigate the current status of benefit finding among young and middle-aged patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a reference for improving the level of benefit finding in this population.
Methods:
From November 2022 to May 2023, young and middle-aged patients with T2DM aged 18-59 years hospitalized in the endocrinology departments of 2 tertiary hospitals in Hengyang City, Hunan Province were selected as survey subjects by a convenience sampling method. Basic demographic information was collected using a general questionnaire survey. Benefit finding, resourcefulness, and stigma were evaluated using the Benefit Finding Scale, the Chinese Version of the Resourcefulness Scale, and the Type 2 Diabetes Stigma Assessment Scale, respectively. A multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of benefit finding among young and middle-aged patients with T2DM.
Results:
A total of 305 young and middle-aged patients with T2DM were investigated, including 222 males (72.79%) and 83 females (27.21%). There were 231 cases aged 45-59 years, accounting for 75.74%. The scores for benefit finding, resourcefulness, and stigma were (42.86±6.06), (75.12±11.30), and (41.20±10.10), respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that young and middle-aged patients with T2DM who were male (β′=0.088), aged 18-<45 years (β′=0.083), absence of diabetes complications (β′=0.124), and had higher resourcefulness scores (β′=0.679) had higher levels of benefit finding, while patients with higher stigma scores (β′=-0.097) had lower levels of benefit finding.
Conclusion
The level of benefit finding among young and middle-aged patients with T2DM was moderate, and was related to gender, age, diabetes complications, resourcefulness, and stigma.

Objective To understand the antibody levels of diphtheria and tetanus among healthy population in Shanghai Pudong New Area, and to provide a scientific basis for improving the vaccine immunization strategy. Methods Random sampling was used to select healthy people of all ages in 16 communities in Shanghai Pudong New Area from 2018 to 2024, and serum samples were collected and tested for serum anti-diphtheria and tetanus toxin IgG antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method to analyze the antibody positivity rate (≥0.1 IU/ml) and the geometric mean concentration (GMC) of antibodies. Results A total of 3 312 serum samples were included, with a male-to-female ratio of 0.76:1, and 53.77% were local residents. The seropositivity rates and geometric mean concentrations (GMC) of both diphtheria and tetanus antibodies generally declined with increasing age, but exhibited a transient rebound in the 7y-. A total of 1 175 individuals (35.48%) were seropositive for diphtheria, with a GMC of 0.054 IU/mL. For tetanus, 988 individuals (29.83%) were seropositive, with a GMC of 0.033 IU/mL. Significant differences in seropositivity rates (χ2diphtheria=950.005,χ2tetanus=1 324.393) and GMC (Hdiphtheria=1027.160,Htetanus=1 142.007) were observed among different age groups (P<0.001). Significant differences in seropositivity rates (χ2diphtheria=950.005,χ2tetanus=1324.393) and GMC (Hdiphtheria=1027.160,Htetanus=1142.007) were also found across different years (P<0.001). Conclusion The prevalence of diphtheria and tetanus antibodies in the healthy population of Pudong New Area is relatively low, particularly among adults over 20 years of age with inadequate immunization. This underscores the need to reinforce the National Immunization Program (NIP) vaccine specifications for children under 6 years of age and implement an immunization strategy for adolescents or adults against diphtheria and tetanus.

Cemental tear is a rare and indetectable condition unless obvious clinical signs present with the involvement of surrounding periodontal and periapical tissues. Due to its clinical manifestations similar to common dental issues, such as vertical root fracture, primary endodontic diseases, and periodontal diseases, as well as the low awareness of cemental tear for clinicians, misdiagnosis often occurs. The critical principle for cemental tear treatment is to remove torn fragments, and overlooking fragments leads to futile therapy, which could deteriorate the conditions of the affected teeth. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and subsequent appropriate interventions are vital for managing cemental tear. Novel diagnostic tools, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), microscopes, and enamel matrix derivatives, have improved early detection and management, enhancing tooth retention. The implementation of standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, combined with improved clinical awareness among dental professionals, serves to mitigate risks of diagnostic errors and suboptimal therapeutic interventions. This expert consensus reviewed the epidemiology, pathogenesis, potential predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cemental tear, aiming to provide a clinical guideline and facilitate clinicians to have a better understanding of cemental tear.

Objective:To explore the relationship and underlying mechanisms between servant leadership and satisfaction of medical staff in tertiary hospitals, and to provide references for improving satisfaction of medical personnel.Methods:From January to June 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted among on-duty medical staff at a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou using a simple random sampling method. Data corresponding to four key variables: servant leadership, hospital management level, affective commitment, and satisfaction of medical staff were collected. SPSS 25.0 software was used to perform independent samples t-tests and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to examine group differences, and Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to explore the relationships among multiple variables. Amos 24.0 software was employed to construct a structural equation model to conduct confirmatory factor analysis of the four key variables, analyze potential mediating effects, and use multi-group analysis to examine differences in path parameters and structure among groups. Results:A total of 632 valid questionnaires were obtained. The satisfaction score of medical staff was (4.50±0.66)(maximum score was 5 points). Age, years of work experience, and job category had statistically significant effects on satisfaction of medical staff ( F = 5.799, 6.483, 7.671; P = 0.001). All four key variables were significantly positively correlated ( P<0.001). Servant leadership, hospital management level, and affective commitment all had direct positive effects on satisfaction of medical staff, with path coefficients of 0.207, 0.386, and 0.345, respectively ( P <0.05, critical ratio>1.96). Hospital management level and affective commitment each had independent partial mediating effects between servant leadership and satisfaction of medical staff (path coefficients of 0.353 and 0.067, respectively; P = 0.007, 0.018). They also jointly exerted a chain mediating effect (path coefficient of 0.243, P = 0.013). Differences in path effects among different job categories (clinical doctors, nurses, and administrative support staff) were statistically significant ( χ2 = 43.344, df = 24, P = 0.009). Conclusions:The servant leadership in tertiary hospitals can directly influence the satisfaction of medical staff, as well as indirectly influence it through emotional commitment and hospital management level. Moreover, the mechanisms of influence vary among medical staff of different professional categories. Tertiary hospitals should introduce and promote servant leadership styles, enhance the servant leadership behaviors of management personnel, and strengthen the synergistic effects of servant leadership, hospital management level, and affective commitment. Differential adjustment mechanisms should be implemented for different job categories.
