Objective To explore the protective effects of genetically modified porcine erythrocyte suspension as a subnormothermic normoxic mechanical perfusate on hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in cynomolgus monkeys caused by traumatic hemorrhage.Methods Cynomolgus monkeys were randomly divided into positive and negative control groups(a total of 3 monkeys,with 3 left cerebral hemispheres as the positive control group and 3 right cerebral hemispheres as the negative control group)and the subnormothermic perfusion group(n=3).The positive control group was directly sampled 1 hour after circulatory arrest,while the negative control group was placed at subnormothermic conditions for 6 hours after circulatory arrest.The subnormothermic perfusion group underwent 6 hours of subnormothermic normoxic mechanical perfusion of the bilateral common carotid arteries of the cynomolgus monkey hypoxic-ischemic brain injury model using genetically modified porcine erythrocyte suspension 1 hour after circulatory arrest.Before perfusion,cross-matching experiments were conducted between the six genetically modified pig and the cynomolgus monkeys.After the start of perfusion,the levels of routine blood indicators in the perfusate were detected at 0,1,2,3,4,5 and 6 hours.Blood oxygen saturation was recorded,and the levels of Na+,K+,Ca2+,glucose and blood pH in the perfusate were measured,as well as the levels of IgG and IgM in the perfusate.After 6 hours of perfusion,the water content of the brain tissue was measured.Nissl staining was performed on the frontal cortex and hippocampal regions,and immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP),ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1(Iba1)and neuronal nuclear antigen(NEUN).Results The cross-matching results between the six genetically modified pig and the cynomolgus monkeys were negative.The number of red blood cells in the perfusate decreased significantly at 3 hours of perfusion,and the hemoglobin level showed a downward trend at 1,3,5 and 6 hours.The number of white blood cells and platelets decreased at all time points.The blood oxygen saturation in the subnormothermic perfusion group remained stable at 95%-98%,and the levels of blood oxygen saturation,Na+,Ca2+,glucose and pH were stable,while the K+level first increased and then decreased.There was no significant difference in the levels of IgG and IgM before and after perfusion.The water content of brain tissue at the end of perfusion in the subnormothermic perfusion group was significantly higher than that in the positive control group(P<0.001).Nissl staining results showed that compared with the positive control group,the pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal cortex of the subnormothermic perfusion group maintained better morphological integrity,with no significant increase in enlarged and deformed cells.In the hippocampal CA1 region,there was a slight increase in enlarged and deformed cells,and a few cells with undamaged structures showed reduced cell size.In the hippocampal dentate gyrus,fewer granule neurons had compromised structural integrity,with increased cell edema.NEUN immunofluorescence staining showed that compared with the positive control group,the pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampal CA1 region of the subnormothermic perfusion group had better morphological states,with clear axons.The granule cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus were well preserved,but the nuclei were less well protected.GFAP immunofluorescence staining showed that compared with the positive control group,the subnormothermic perfusion group had sparser protrusions that were more tightly associated with neurons.Iba1 immunofluorescence staining showed that compared with the positive control group,the subnormothermic perfusion group had thicker and fewer protrusions.Conclusions Compared with the positive control group,subnormothermic normoxic mechanical perfusion with genetically modified porcine erythrocyte perfusate increases brain tissue edema in cynomolgus monkeys,but better preserves the morphological integrity of neurons and glial cells.The protective effects may be related to the continuous oxygen and energy supply,maintenance of ion homeostasis and perfusate pH,reduced rejection,and low metabolic state of the whole brain.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors for pathological upgrading in prostate cancer patients with a Gleason score of 3 + 3 undergoing targeted biopsy,and to establish a nomogram prediction model.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 191 patients with localized prostate cancer diagnosed with a Gleason score of 3 + 3 through targeted biopsies at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2020 to June 2024. The age of the patients was 67(61,73)years,with prostate-specific antigen(PSA)level of 7.44(5.53,10.19)ng/ml,prostate volume of 35.64(26.59,48.97)ml,and PSA density(PSAD)of 0.20(0.14,0.31)ng/ml 2. Among them,61 cases(31.94%)had a Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System(PI-RADS)score of 3,104 cases(54.45%)had a score of 4,and 26 cases(13.61%)had a score of 5. The diameter of the main lesion was 10.75(7.86,14.00)mm. The lesions were located in the peripheral zone in 78 cases(40.84%),the transition zone in 99 cases(51.83%),and the anterior fibromuscular stroma in 14 cases(7.33%). The lesions were found at the apex in 56 cases(29.32%),in the body in 120 cases(62.83%),and at the base in 15 cases(7.85%). MRI revealed only one lesion with a PI-RADS score ≥ 3 in 131 cases,two suspected lesions in 43 cases,three suspected lesions in 12 cases,and four suspected lesions in 5 cases. Systematic biopsy was positive in 121 cases(63.4%)and negative in 70 cases(36.6%). The lesions were confined to the left lobe in 63 cases(32.98%),right lobe in 68 cases(35.60%),and involved both lobes in 60 cases(31.41%). The interval between biopsy and surgery was 9.0(7.0,14.0)days. Univariate analyses were performed using Mann-Whitney U tests or χ2 tests,and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of pathological upgrading. A nomogram model was constructed based on these independent predictors. The model’s discriminative ability was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC),and internal validation of the model’s consistency was conducted using the bootstrap resampling method. Decision curve analysis(DCA)was performed to assess clinical utility. Results:Among the 191 cases,60(31.4%)had no pathological upgrading after surgery,while 131(68.6%)showed upgrading. Univariate analysis showed that the maximum diameter of the main lesion[9.0(6.0,13.2)mm vs. 11.0(8.4,14.0)mm],number of suspicious lesions on MRI[1.0(1.0,1.0)vs. 1.0(1.0,2.0)],number of positive systematic biopsy cores[1.0(0,2.0)vs. 1.0(0,3.0)],percentage of positive systematic biopsy cores[0.08(0,0.17)vs. 0.12(0,0.25)],number of positive targeted biopsy cores[2.0(1.0,3.0)vs. 3.0(1.0,4.0)],percentage of positive targeted biopsy cores[0.37(0.24,0.75)vs. 0.50(0.38,0.85)],level of the index lesion,location of the index lesion,and PI-RADS score were associated with pathological upgrading( P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PI-RADS score 4( OR = 5.88,95% CI 2.41 - 14.35),number of suspicious lesions on MRI( OR = 4.15,95% CI 1.88 - 9.17),location of the index lesion in the transition zone( OR = 6.86,95% CI 2.81 - 16.73),and percentage of positive targeted biopsy cores( OR = 4.37,95% CI 1.38 - 14.90)were independent risk factors for pathological upgrading( P < 0.05). The nomogram model constructed using these predictors had an AUC of 0.845. Internal validation using the Bootstrap method yielded an AUC value of 0.812,indicating high predictive accuracy of the model. The calibration curve indicated good calibration. Decision curve analysis showed that the threshold range for net benefit in the model was between 12% - 100%. Conclusions:The PI-RADS score 4,the number of lesions with PI-RADS ≥ 3,the location of the main lesion in the transition zone,and the percentage of positive needles in targeted biopsy are independent risk factors for pathological upgrading from Gleason score 3 + 3. The nomogram model constructed from these factors demonstrates good predictive performance and provides a reference for clinical decision-making.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of simultaneous surgical resection combined with thermal ablation in sequential treatment of patients with multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC). Methods Patients with MPLC who underwent simultaneous, sequential surgical resection combined with thermal ablation at Shangjin Branch of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April 2023 to May 2024 were retrospectively included, and their perioperative and follow-up data were analyzed. Results A total of 23 patients with MPLC were enrolled, including 4 males and 19 females, with a mean age of (51.61±12.38) years. Cumulatively, 48 lesions were resected and 23 lesions were ablated. About half of the patients (52.17%) had surgery and ablation treatment located in the same lung. All patients completed the combined treatment without intraoperative complications. Four patients had postoperative complications, and were effectively managed and successfully discharged. The median postoperative hospital stay was 4.00 (4.00, 4.00) days. The average follow-up duration was (11.78±4.90) months, with a local control rate of 100.00% at 6 months postoperatively. No deaths or tumor occurred during the follow-up. Conclusion Simultaneous surgery with thermal ablation in sequential treatment for MPLC is safe, flexible and effective, providing a new option for this group of patients, but further studies are needed to evaluate its long-term efficacy.

Sustained inflammatory responses are closely related to various severe diseases,and inhibiting the excessive activation of inflammasomes and pyroptosis has significant implications for clinical treatment.Natural products have garnered considerable concern for the treatment of inflammation.Huanglian-Wumei decoction(HLWMD)is a classic prescription used for treating inflammatory diseases,but the necessity of their combination and the exact underlying anti-inflammatory mechanism have not yet been elucidated.Inspired by the supramolecular self-assembly strategy and natural drug compatibility theory,we successfully obtained berberine(BBR)-chlorogenic acid(CGA)supramolecular(BCS),which is an herbal pair from HLWMD.Using a series of characterization methods,we confirmed the self-assembly mechanism of BCS.BBR and CGA were self-assembled and stacked into amphiphilic spherical supra-molecules in a 2:1 molar ratio,driven by electrostatic interactions,hydrophobic interactions,and π-πstacking;the hydrophilic fragments of CGA were outside,and the hydrophobic fragments of BBR were inside.This stacking pattern significantly improved the anti-inflammatory performance of BCS compared with that of single free molecules.Compared with free molecules,BCS significantly attenuated the release of multiple inflammatory mediators and lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced pyroptosis.Its anti-inflammatory mechanism is closely related to the inhibition of intracellular nuclear factor-kappaB(NF-κB)p65 phosphorylation and the noncanonical pyroptosis signalling pathway mediated by caspase-11.
