[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。

OBJECTIVES:
The integrated endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor (ISRIB) is a selective inhibitor of the protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) signaling pathway within endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and can improve spatial and working memory in aged mice. Although ERS and oxidative stress are tightly interconnected, it remains unclear whether ISRIB alleviates cognitive impairment by restoring the balance between ERS and oxidative stress. This study aims to investigate the effects and mechanisms of ISRIB on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cognitive impairment in mice.
METHODS:
Eight-week-old male ICR mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: Normal saline (NS) group, LPS group, and ISRIB+LPS group. NS and LPS groups received daily intraperitoneal injections of normal saline for 7 days; on day 7, LPS group mice received intraperitoneal LPS (0.83 mg/kg) to establish a cognitive impairment model. ISRIB+LPS group received ISRIB (0.25 mg/kg) intraperitoneally for 7 days, with LPS injected 30 minutes after ISRIB on day 7. Cognitive ability was evaluated by the novel place recognition test (NPRT). Real-time fluorogenic quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect changes in nitric oxide synthase (NOS), superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD-1), and catalase (CAT) gene expression in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. Oxidative stress markers malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and oxidized glutathione (GSSG), were measured in hippocampal and prefrontal cortex tissues.
RESULTS:
Compared with the NS group, mice in LPS group showed a significant reduction in novel place recognition ratio, upregulation of hippocampal NOS-1 and NOS-2 mRNA, downregulation of SOD-1 and CAT mRNA, increased MDA and GSSG, decreased GSH, and reduced GSH/GSSG ratio (all P<0.05). Compared with the LPS group, mice in ISRIB+LPS group exhibited significantly improved novel place recognition, downregulated NOS-1 and NOS-2 mRNA, upregulated SOD-1 and CAT mRNA, decreased MDA and GSSG, increased GSH, and an elevated GSH/GSSG ratio in the hippocampus (all P<0.05). No significant changes were observed in the prefrontal cortex.
CONCLUSIONS
ISRIB improves LPS-induced cognitive impairment in mice by restoring the oxidative/antioxidant balance in the hippocampus.

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 analyze the gene mutations of 18 patients with plasminogen (PLG) deficiency and to explore the clinical manifestations caused by PLG gene mutations.Methods:This study belongs to observational study-descriptive study: case series.Clinical data from 18 patients with PLG deficiency admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 1st, 2021 to May 31st, 2025 were collected. The age ranged from 16 to 70 years old, with an average of 48 years old. Among them, there were 10 males and 8 females. Anticoagulant blood samples were taken before treatment to measure and analyze plasminogen activity (PLG:A), plasminogen antigen (PLG:Ag), protein C activity, protein S activity, fibrinogen, antithrombin activity, D-dimer, and fibrin (fibrinogen) degradation products. PCR direct sequencing was used to analyze the 19 exons and flanking sequences of the PLG gene in these patients, and reverse sequencing was employed to verify the suspected mutations.Results:For the 18 patients, cranial MRI showed fresh cerebral infarction lesions, and PLG:A levels ranged from 19% to 67%, while no other lab indicators showed significant abnormalities, all presenting with dysplasminogenemia. Genetic analysis revealed five types of PLG gene mutations: c.1858G>A (p.Ala620Thr) heterozygous mutation, c.1858G>A (p.Ala620Thr) homozygous mutation, c.398A>G (p.His133Arg) heterozygous mutation, c.2108G>A (p.Gly703Asp) heterozygous mutation, and c.1702G>A (p.Gly568Arg) heterozygous mutation. Among the above, the c.1858G>A heterozygous mutation was the most common, and c.398A>G and c.1702G>A were identified for the first time.Conclusion:Patients with plasminogen deficiency caused by PLG gene defects are prone to occur cerebral infarction events, which may be related to impaired fibrinolytic function due to PLG gene mutations.

The prevalence of suicidal ideation (SI) and suicide behavior (SB) has gradually risen among adolescents with major depressive disorders in recent years, yet the underlying neurological mechanisms remain unknown. With the advancement of neuroimaging technology, multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods show fundamental value in detecting structural and functional brain abnormalities associated with these conditions. Preliminary studies have revealed alterations in key brain regions, such as the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and anterior cingulate cortex, in adolescents with major depressive disorders. These findings provide critical insights into the neuropathological basis and underlying mechanisms of SI and SB in adolescent major depressive disorders. This review summarizes recent advances in brain structure and function in adolescents with major depressive disorder who exhibit SI and/or SB using diverse MRI techniques. This paper will provide new insights for the investigation of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying suicidality in adolescents with major depressive disorder, and provide objective neuroimaging evidence for the early identification and individualized intervention for at-risk adolescents.

BACKGROUND:Parkinson's disease has the main pathological changes in the midbrain,especially in the dense substantia nigra,leading to impaired motor and non-motor function in patients.At present,research is limited by cellular heterogeneity,and its pathogenesis still needs to be further elucidated.In recent years,single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)has gradually been applied in neurodegenerative diseases,which is of great significance for understanding intercellular heterogeneity,disease development mechanisms,and treatment strategies. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress of scRNA-seq technology applied to Parkinson's disease in recent years,providing a theoretical basis for the application of scRNA-seq in the treatment and diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. METHODS:The first author used a computer system to search for relevant literature in the CNKI,WanFang,PubMed,and Web of Science databases,with the Chinese search terms"single-cell RNA sequencing,Parkinson's disease,cell heterogeneity,cell subtypes,dopaminergic neurons,glial cells"and English search terms"single-cell RNA seq,Parkinson disease,heterogenicity,subtypes,dopaminergic neurons,glial cells."71 articles were ultimately included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)scRNA-seq is a high-throughput experimental technique that utilizes RNA sequencing at the single-cell level to quantify gene expression profiles in specific cell populations,revealing cellular mysteries at the molecular level.Compared with traditional sequencing techniques,scRNA-seq technology is used to reveal the diversity of cell types and changes in specific gene expression in complex tissues under various physiological and pathological conditions through automatic clustering analysis of cell transcriptome.(2)By using scRNA-seq,the development process of dopaminergic neurons and the unique functional characteristics of various cell subtypes are elucidated,in order to better understand potential therapeutic molecular targets.(3)The use of scRNA-seq analysis has improved our understanding of the response of Parkinson's disease glial cells,enabling us to comprehensively map and characterize different cell type populations,identify specific glial cell subpopulations related to neurodegeneration,and draw valuable single cell maps as reference data for future research.(4)The application of scRNA-seq to detect embryonic mice and stem cells will help improve the in vitro differentiation protocol and quality control of cell therapy,as well as evaluate the overall cell quality and developmental stage of dopaminergic neurons derived from stem cells.

Objective To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of different doses of epidural oxycodone injection for traction reaction during cesarean sections to determine the optimal dose.Methods Totally 119 cases of parturients who underwent cesarean sections from October 2023 to May 2024 were selected and randomly divided into groups A,B,C and D.All four groups of lying-in women received epidural injection after the umbilical cord was cut.Groups A,B and C were given oxycodone 3 mg,5 mg and 7 mg respectively,and group D was given an equal amount of normal saline.The primary outcomes were documentation of maternal vital signs and traction reaction during the surgery.Secondary outcomes included patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)times within 48 hours and documentation of any postoperative adverse events within 24 hours.Results The comparison of in-tra?operative vital signs among the four groups of patients revealed no statistically significant differences.In groups A,B and C the incidence of traction reactions was significantly lower at 20%,17.2%and 3.3%,respectively,compared to group D at 53.3%,showing statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Additionally,the inci?dence of traction reaction in group C was significantly lower than in group A(P<0.05).Groups A,B and C pro?duced significantly better results than group D in terms of the duration of anesthesia.PCIA presses were substan?tially less in groups A and C than in group D(P<0.05),and group C had a significantly higher total incidence of adverse events than group A and group D(P<0.05).Conclusions Epidural injection of 3 mg,5 mg and 7 mg oxycodone has been proved to significantly reduce traction reaction during cesarean sections while minimally im?pacting intraoperative vital signs.This intervention has the potential to extend the duration of anesthesia,decrease the frequency of PCIA presses.Among these,7 mg is the most effective but has the highest incidence of adverse effects,requiring carefully post?operative monitoring.
