[Objective] To establish a new scoring system to predict the perioperative outcomes (operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and trifecta achievement) in patients undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) by integrating the RENAL and Mayo adhesive probability (MAP) scores. [Methods] Clinical data of 178 patients with renal cell carcinoma who underwent RAPN performed by the same surgeon in our hospital during Jan.2015 and Jan.2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The RENAL and MAP scores of all patients were calculated.Linear regression and logistic regression were used to evaluate the associations between the components of the RENAL and MAP scores (a total of 6 variables) and perioperative outcomes.The factors with significant associations were then included into logistic regression analysis to identify independent predictors for constructing an assessment system for perioperative outcomes, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to calculate the area under the curve (AUC) to predict its efficacy. [Results] Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that tumor size (β=6.14, 95%CI: 1.93—10.34, P=0.004), exophytic rate (β=10.60, 95%CI: 3.44—17.76, P=0.004), and perinephric fat thickness (β=16.48, 95%CI: 8.52—24.45, P<0.001) were significantly associated with operation time.Tumor size (β=10.55 95%CI: 5.60—15.49, P<0.001) was associated with both intraoperative blood loss and trifecta achievement (OR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.26—2.36, P=0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis of these 3 factors identified tumor size (OR=9.07, 95% CI: 1.18—69.45, P=0.03) and perinephric fat thickness (OR=2.28, 95%CI: 1.86—6.04, P=0.01) as independent predictors of perioperative outcomes.Based on these findings, the tumor size and perinephric fat thickness (RP) scoring was constructed, which demonstrated better predictive ability than RENAL score or MAP score alone (RP vs.RENAL vs.MAP: 0.766 vs.0.548 vs.0.684). [Conclusion] The RP score includes fewer variables than the RENAL and MAP scores but outperforms them.

Objective:To evaluate and screen the regimens of tigecycline intraventricular injection in extensively drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (XDRAB) intracranial infection based on Monte Carlo simulation and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model.Methods:Nine patients with XDRAB intracranial infection confirmed as having susceptibility to tigecycline or polymyxin antimicrobials from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2023 were screened from electronic medical record system in Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University. WHONET software was used to extract pathogen susceptibility data isolated from cerebrospinal fluid samples. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of tigecycline against XDRAB was analyzed by drug susceptibility test; different regimens for intraventricular tigecycline injection were designed based on MIC: 2 mg/12 h, 3 mg/12 h, 4 mg/12 h, 5 mg/12 h, 6 mg/12 h, and 10 mg/12 h, with drug concentration of 0.5 mg/mL or 1.0 mg/mL once a day. Target value of PK/PD index was set as ?C max/MIC≥8; Monte Carlo was used to simulate the compliance of PK/PD index of tigecycline with different MIC against XDRAB for different dosed regimens (probability of target attainment [PTA] and cumulative fraction of response [CFR]); the best regiment was selected (screening basis: PTA≥90% or CFR≥90%). Results:(1) A total of 27 strains of pathogenic bacteria from 9 patients were extracted from drug susceptibility test, in which MIC of tigecycline against XDRAB was 55.56% for 2 mg/L, 25.93% for 4 mg/L, and 18.52% for 8 mg/L. (2) When the drug concentration was 0.5 mg/mL or 1.0 mg/mL, respectively, all 6 regimens had PTA>90% at 2 mg/L MIC; 5 regimens, except for 2 mg/12 h, had PTA>90% at 4 mg/L MIC; regimens of 5 mg/12 h, 6 mg/12 h, and 10 mg/12 h could achieve PTA>90% at 8 mg/L MIC. (3) When the drug concentration was 0.5 mg/mL, regimens of 4 mg/12 h, 5 mg/12 h, 6 mg/12 h, and 10 mg/12 h could achieve CFR>90%; when the drug concentration was 1 mg/mL, regimens of 4 mg/12 h, 5 mg/12 h, 6 mg/12 h, and 10 mg/12 h could achieve CFR>92%.Conclusion:In intraventricular tigecycline injection for XDRAB intracranial infection, 2 mg/12 h regimen is available in 2 mg/L MIC, 3 mg/12 h regimen is available in 4 mg/L MIC, and 5 mg/12 h regimen is available in 8 mg/L MIC, with either 0.5 mg/mL or 1 mg/mL concentration.

Objective To investigate the role of solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11)in the pathogenesis and progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma(ccRCC)and its prognostic significance.Methods Mendelian randomization analysis was employed to identify genes causally associated with the risk of ccRCC.The expression patterns and prognostic relevance of SLC7A11 were assessed using RNA sequencing data and clinical information obtained from the UCSC Xcna pan-cancer cohort.Gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA)was conducted using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma(TCGA-KIRC)dataset(training set).A prognostic model based on SLC7A11 was then developed using stepwise Cox regression and validated externally in the E-MTAB-1980 cohort(validation set).Results Elevated level of SLC7A11 was associated with an increased risk of ccRCC(HR=1.27,95％CI:1.15-1.40,P＜0.001).SLC7A11 was overexpressed in various tumors and correlated with higher T stage and poorer survival(P＜0.05).GSEA demonstrated that SLC7A11 was enriched in pathways related to proliferation and metastasis,including E2F and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition signaling pathways.Moreover,the SLC7A11 prognostic model exhibited robust predictive performance in both the training set(1-,3-,and 5-year AUC=0.78,0.73,0.71,respectively)and the external validation set(1-,3-,and 5-year AUC=0.70,0.71,0.72,respectively).Conclusion SLC7A11 can be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for ccRCC,offering novel perspectives for precision medicine.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of phacoemulsification combined with gonioscopy-assisted angle plasty (Phaco-GAAP) for primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) with cataract.Methods:A case series study was carried out.Twenty-five eyes of 22 patients with PACG and cataract were enrolled in Beijing Tongren Hospital from April 2022 to August 2022.All of the patients received Phaco-GAAP surgery.During the operation, viscoelastic-assisted goniosynechialysis was performed at first, followed by a secondary angle plasty for residual peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) based on the quantified assessment by gonioscopy, and the extent of PAS was recorded intraoperatively.The operated eyes were followed at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after surgery to evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP), PAS range, the number of anti-glaucoma drugs application, operation-related complications, and success rate.The qualified success rate was defined as medicine-controlled IOP ≤21 mmHg after surgery, and complete success rate was defined as IOP ≤21 mmHg without any anti-glaucoma medication.This study complied with the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Beijing Tongren Hospital (TRECKY2021-136). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to entering the research cohort.Results:The extent of PAS was [270(225, 360)°], [165(110, 215)°] and [100(35, 175)°] at preoperation, first and secondary angle plasty, respectively, showing a significant difference among them ( χ2 =40.742, P<0.001). The PAS range was significantly reduced at first angle plasty in comparison with preoperation and was significantly reduced at secondary angle plasty in comparison with at first angle plasty (both at P<0.001), and the proportion of the angle PAS range ≥180° decreased from 48% to 24% after second angle plasty.In 13 eyes finished gonioscopy, the PAS range was [240(195, 305)°], [60(25, 182.5)°], [170(120, 275)°]and [180(140, 280)°]at preoperation, at the end of operation, postoperative 1 month and 3 months, respectively, with a significant difference ( χ2 =23.631, P<0.001). The PAS range was significantly smaller at postoperative 1 month, 3 months than that at preoperation (both at P=0.004) and larger than that at the end of operation ( P=0.011, P=0.003). The IOP was (40.19±17.23), (15.80±7.98), (13.89±5.09), (12.80±3.79) and(13.24±2.78) mmHg before operation and 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after operation, respectively, showing a significant difference ( F=44.031, P<0.001), and the IOP was significantly reduced after operation (all at P<0.001). The PAS range at the end of operation was positively correlated with preoperation ( rs=0.409, P=0.042). The complete and qualified success rates were 95.8%, 95.8% for postoperative 1 month, 95.8% and 100% for postoperative 3 months, respectively.The primary complication was intraoperative anterior chamber angle hemorrhage, with an incidence of 68%. Conclusions:Phaco-GAAP can intraoperatively quantify PAS range and guide secondary angle plasty, therefore, it is an effective and safe surgical intervention for PACG with cataract.

Claudin18.2(CLDN18.2)is a tight junction protein that is overexpressed in a variety of solid tumors such as gastrointestinal cancer and oesophageal cancer.It has been identified as a promising target and a potential biomarker to diagnose tumor,evaluate efficacy,and determine patient prognosis.TST001 is a recombinant humanized CLDN18.2 antibody that selectively binds to the extracellular loop of human Claudin18.2.In this study,we constructed a solid target radionuclide zirconium-89(89Zr)labled-TST001 to detect the expression of in the human stomach cancer BGC823CLDN18.2 cell lines.The[89Zr]Zr-des-ferrioxamine(DFO)-TST001 showed high radiochemical purity(RCP,＞99％)and specific activity(24.15±1.34 GBq/μmol),and was stable in 5％human serum albumin,and phosphate buffer saline(＞85％RCP at 96 h).The EC50 values of TST001 and DFO-TST001 were as high as 0.413±0.055 and 0.361±0.058 nM(P＞0.05),respectively.The radiotracer had a significantly higher average standard uptake values in CLDN18.2-positive tumors than in CLDN18.2-negative tumors(1.11±0.02 vs.0.49±0.03,P=0.0016)2 days post injection(p.i.).BGC823CLDN18.2 mice models showed high tumor/muscle ratios 96 h p.i.with[89Zr]Zr-DFO-TST001 was much higher than those of the other imaging groups.Immunohistochemistry results showed that BGC823CLDN18.2 tumors were highly positive(+++)for CLDN18.2,while those in the BGC823 group did not express CLDN18.2(-).The results of ex vivo biodistribution studies showed that there was a higher distribution in the BGC823CLDN18.2 tumor bearing mice(2.05±0.16％ID/g)than BGC823 mice(0.69±0.02％ID/g)and blocking group(0.72±0.02％ID/g).A dosimetry estimation study showed that the effective dose of[89Zr]Zr-DFO-TST001 was 0.0705 mSv/MBq,which is within the range of acceptable doses for nuclear medicine research.Taken together,these re-sults suggest that Good Manufacturing Practices produced by this immuno-positron emission tomog-raphy probe can detect CLDN18.2-overexpressing tumors.

【Objective】 To explore the expression of checkpoint kinase 2 (CHEK2) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), its association with the clinicopathological features and prognosis, and to predict its relevant molecular signaling pathways and biological functions. 【Methods】 The gene expression data, phenotype data, and corresponding survival information of ccRCC patients were downloaded from TCGA database. The optimal cutoff value of CHEK2 was determined with the "survminer" package. The patients were divided into low and high expression groups, and the association between CHEK2 expression and clinicopathological features was analyzed. The correlation between CHEK2 expression and ccRCC prognosis was evaluated with univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models. The changes of cell signaling pathways involved in different CHEK2 expression levels were explored with gene set variation analysis (GSVA). The correlation between CHEK2 and immune cell infiltration as well as immune checkpoint molecular expression was analyzed. 【Results】 CHEK2 expression was significantly higher in ccRCC tissues than in normal tissues (P<0.01). Higher level of CHEK2 was significantly associated with higher T stage of ccRCC (P<0.01). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed overall survival (OS) of patients with high CHEK2 expression were notably decreased (P<0.001). Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed CHEK2 expression as an independent risk factor of survival (HR=1.950, 95%CI: 1.490-2.570, P<0.001; HR=1.588, 95%CI: 1.185-2.127, P=0.002). GSVA showed that CHEK2 was involved in the following pathways: proximal tubule bicarbonate reclamation, propanoate metabolism, limonene and pinene degradation, fatty acid metabolism, primary immunodeficiency, systemic lupus erythematosus, p53 signaling pathway, homologous recombination, DNA replication and mismatch repair. Correlation analysis suggested that CHEK2 was associated with increased infiltration of multiple immune cells in ccRCC and upregulation of various immune checkpoint molecules. 【Conclusion】 The high level of CHEK2 in ccRCC is an independent predicting factor for poor prognosis. It is probably involved in regulating related events of tumor immune infiltration and may become a new target for ccRCC therapy.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy between hand plating system (HPS) and classic suture anchor fixation in the treatment of patellar inferior pole fractures.Methods:The clinical data were analyzed retrospectively of the 56 patients who had been treated for patellar inferior pole fractures at Department of Orthopaedics, General Hospital of Northern Theatre Command from January 2018 to December 2019. They were assigned into 2 groups according to their internal fixation methods. In group A of 30 cases subjected to HPS fixation, there were 18 males and 12 females with an age of (61.7±11.3) years; in group B of 26 cases subjected to suture anchor fixation, there were 16 males and 10 females with an age of (60.0±10.5) years. The incision length, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, fracture union time, pain visual analog scale (VAS)and knee function one year postoperation, and follow-up complications were compared between the 2 groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing comparability( P>0.05). The operation time in group A [(59.4±10.8) min] was significantly shorter than that in group B [(66.5±12.3) min] ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incision length or intraoperative bleeding between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). The bone union time was respectively(11.2±1.8) weeks and (12.1±2.4) weeks and the postoperative VAS respectively 0.85±0.12 and 0.91±0.14 for groups A and B, showing no significant difference between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). The knee flexion angle (124.5°±14.6°) and knee Bostman score (29.3±3.5) in group A were significantly better than those in group B (113.2°±11.1° and 26.2±2.9) one year postoperation( P<0.05). Follow-up revealed no complication in group A but 2 cases of implant failure in group B. Conclusion:Compared with the classical anchor suture fixation, HPS may obtain stronger fixation, shorter operation time and better knee function.

TORCH, which is considered as a series of pathogens, including the Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus or Herpes simplex virus, often infects the pregnant women to induce the the fetus or newborn infection by transplacental infection or exposure to contaminated genital tract secretions at delivery. Increasing evidence have been confirmed that the infection of TORCH may cause the miscarriage, premature birth, malformed fetus, stillbirth, intrauterine growth retardation, neonatal multiple organ dysfunction and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. For most TORCH-infections cases may lacking the effective treatments during pregnancy, and it is important to achieve the effacing monitoring of TORCH infections before and during pregnancy. The laboratory testing of TORCH has the great significance. However, the consensus opinions still need to improve the the standardization of TORCH testing process and the correct interpretation. Based on the characteristics of the TORCH detection method, this article gives a consensus opinion on the standardized detection and clinical application of TORCH from the laboratory perspective according to the characteristics and types of infection of different pathogens.

Objective: To evaluate of the specificity of a new norovirus (NoV) detection method of in situ capture real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (ISC-RT-qPCR) and to apply the method for the detection of NoVs in fresh strawberry. Methods: A panel of stool samples with different NoV genotypes and various inoculums were used for the experiments. Results: We found that all the tested samples of eight genogroup Ⅱ (GⅡ) NoVs could be detected specifically by ISC-RT-qPCR. Moreover, in contrast to the conventional RT-qPCR method , the situation that the Ct value increased as the inoculum of NoV GⅡ decreased was not shown using ISC-RT-qPCR. When we tested NoVs in strawberry samples by ISC-RT-qPCR, the minimum test limit could reach 1.36 genocopy/10 g of fresh strawberry. Conclusions ISC-RT-qPCR is an effective and specific technic and it could be applied for the detection of infectious NoVs from stool samples and fresh strawberry samples.
