Objective To investigate the current distribution of radiotherapy resources in Gansu Province, evaluate the equity of resource allocation, and provide a scientific basis for optimizing regional resource allocation. Methods A questionnaire survey was carried out to assess radiotherapy resources in medical institutions across Gansu Province, China. The equity of radiotherapy resource distribution and associated disparities were assessed using the Gini coefficient, Lorenz curve, and Theil index. Results A total of 23 medical institutions in Gansu Province provided radiotherapy services, comprising 39 radiotherapy devices and 438 professionals, of whom medical physicists accounted for 16.9%. The radiotherapy frequency was 0.47 cases per thousand population. The Gini coefficients for radiotherapy resource distribution ranged from 0.38 to 0.56 by population and from 0.52 to 0.70 by geography. The Theil index for radiotherapy resources ranged from 1.36 to 3.67. Conclusion Radiotherapy resources in Gansu Province were insufficient, and the capacity of radiotherapy service was suboptimal. The equity of radiotherapy resource allocation by geography was worse than that by population. Therefore, it is imperative to address the shortage of radiotherapy resources, strengthen the professional workforce, enhance the capacity radiotherapy service and resource utilization, optimize resource allocation, and promote regional equity in radiotherapy provision in Gansu Province.

Objective: To explore the early effects of birth weight at different gestational ages on blood pressure trajectory among primary school students, so as to provide evidence for incorporating gestational age birth weight into individualized early warning and intervention strategies for childhood hypertension. Methods: From May to November 2023, a purposeful sampling method was used to recruit 1 676 students in grade 1-3 from three primary schools in a certain urban district of Chongqing. Follow up assessments were conducted in May 2024(T1), November 2024(T2), and May 2025(T3). General demographic and birth related information were collected via self administered questionnaires, while height, weight and blood pressure were obtained through physical examinations. Linear mixed effects model was used to analyze the associations between birth weight at different gestational ages and blood pressure trajectories. Results: During the T1-T3 period, the systolic blood pressure of boys were 98.5 (93.0, 104.5 ),98.5 (93.5, 105.0), and 97.5 (92.5, 103.5)mmHg, respectively, while the diastolic blood pressure were 60.5 (56.5, 65.0), 61.5 ( 57.0 , 65.5), and 60.0 (56.0, 64.0)mmHg, respectively. For girls, the systolic blood pressure were 95.5 (90.0, 102.0),95.5 (90.5, 101.5), and 96.0 (90.5, 101.5)mmHg, respectively, and the diastolic blood pressure were 60.5 (56.0, 64.5 ),61.5 (57.5, 65.5), and 59.5 (56.0, 63.0)mmHg, respectively. Through Friedman test within both boys and girls, diostolic blood pressure were statistically significant across three measurements( χ 2=48.85，81.54，both P <0.01). The proportion of normal blood pressure increased , and the proportion of prehypertension and hypertension decreased with time( χ 2=39.72，25.62，both P < 0.01 ). Linear mixed effects model analysis revealed that after adjusting for age, sex, household income monthly, parental education, family history of hypertension and maternal pregnancy complications, large for gestational age had significantly higher trajectories of systolic ( β = 1.50) and diastolic( β =0.94) blood pressure compared to appropriate for gestational age(both P <0.01). Conclusion Large for gestational age is associated with elevated blood pressure trajectories during school age, and it may be considered as an early indicator for individualized screening and intervention for childhood hypertension.

[摘 要] 目的：探讨lncRNA DLEU2通过EZH2/H3K27me3途径调控IKKα介导甲状腺癌（TC）放射性碘抵抗的作用机制。方法：利用TCGA数据库分析TC中DLEU2的表达及其与EZH2的相关性。构建放射性碘抵抗的TPC-1细胞（RR-TPC-1细胞）模型及裸鼠移植瘤模型，通过敲低或过表达DLEU2（si-DLEU2/OE-DLEU2）、抑制EZH2（UNC1999）、过表达IKKα（OE-IKKα）进行干预，采用qPCR、WB、RIP、ChIP、CCK-8、流式细胞术、TUNEL染色及体内成瘤实验检测基因与蛋白表达、表观修饰、细胞增殖、凋亡及肿瘤生长。结果：TCGA分析显示，DLEU2在TC组织中显著上调（P < 0.001），与患者不良预后相关（P = 0.008 4），且与EZH2表达呈正相关（r = 0.390, P < 0.001）；RIP证实EZH2与DLEU2存在相互作用/结合（P < 0.05）。体外实验表明，敲低DLEU2可显著下调RR-TPC-1细胞中EZH2、IKKα表达及H3K27me3修饰水平，抑制NF-κB通路活化（P < 0.05或P < 0.01），抑制细胞增殖、促进凋亡（均P < 0.05）。联合敲低DLEU2与抑制EZH2进一步增强上述效应，而过表达IKKα则可部分逆转上述效应（P < 0.05或P < 0.01）。体内实验进一步证实，敲低DLEU2联合抑制EZH2可显著抑制移植瘤生长，增加肿瘤细胞凋亡（均P < 0.01）；IKKα过表达则部分逆转上述抗肿瘤效应（P < 0.05或P < 0.01）。结论：lncRNA DLEU2通过招募EZH2催化H3K27me3修饰，间接激活IKKα/NF-κB信号并形成正反馈环路，介导TPC-1细胞131I抵抗。

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of malaria and provide a basis for developing improved prevention and control measures. Methods Data were obtained from the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Malaria surveillance data for Nanning City from January 1,2023, to December 31,2024, were exported from the Infectious Disease Reporting Information Management Subsystem. The characteristics of the two groups of malaria cases were compared. Results A total of 103 imported malaria cases were reported in Nanning City in 2024, representing a 38.32% decrease compared with the same period of the previous year. No statistically significant difference were observed between cases reported in 2023 and 2024 in terms of average age, gender ratio, proportion of parasite species, and monthly reporting distribution;however, statistically significant differences were found in the proportion of reporting areas and current residence areas(χ2= 13.572 and 10.355, respectively; P = 0.001 and 0.035, respectively). The proportion of cases reported in Shanglin County and the proportion of cases residing in Shanglin County were both lower than those during the same period of the previous year. Conclusions The high aggregation of imported malaria cases in Nanning City has decreased. Medical institutions in areas other than Shanglin County should strengthen their vigilance against malaria.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of hysteroscopic combined with laparoscopic repair and reconstruction of diverticulum in the treatment of post-cesarean section uterine diverticulum(PCSD).Methods A total of 150 patients with PCSD admitted to the department of gynaecology of our hospital from January 2020 to February 2022 were selected and divided into the transvaginal group(transvaginal repair of diverticulum)and the combined group(hysteroscopic combined with laparoscopic repair and reconstruction of diverticulum)according to different surgical plans,with 75 cases in each group.The general condition of surgery,days of menstrual period,thickness of muscular layer,inflammation-related factor levels,complications and pregnancy in patients with birth plan were recorded in both groups.Results The operation time of patients in the combined group was longer than that in the transvaginal group,and the time of anal exhaustion and postoperative hospital stay of patients in the combined group were shorter than those in the transvaginal group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);There was no significant difference in terms of the intraoperative bleeding volume of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),interleukin-4(IL-4),interleukin-8(IL-8),and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)7 days after surgery of patients were lower in both groups compared with those before surgery,and the combined group was lower than the transvaginal group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with that before the surgery,the days of menstrual period of patietns in both groups 6 and 12 months after the surgery decreased,and the thickness of muscular layer increased,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05);while no statistically significant difference was found in terms of the days of menstrual period or thickness of muscular layer of patients 6 and 12 months after surgery between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of cumulative complications such as incision infection,hyponatraemia,bladder injury and vaginal infection between the two groups(P>0.05).The intrauterine pregnancy rate of patients with birth plan and the full-term pregnancy rate in the combined group were higher than those in the transvaginal group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the abortion rate or preterm birth rate between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The hysteroscopic combined with laparoscopic repair and reconstruction of diverticulum for patients with PCSD has a fast postoperative recovery,a short hospital stay,and can increase the pregnancy rate of patients with birth plan.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of aerobic exercise regulating autophagy to improve myocardial fibrosis in mice with atherosclerosis.Method:Eight weeks old male ApoE-/-knockout mice were randomly divided into model group,aerobic exer-cise group and blank control group after one-week adaption,with nine mice in each group.The atherosclerosis model was established by fed a"Western type"diet for 12 weeks and the aerobic exercise group was re-ceived aerobic training at the same time.After 12 weeks,Oil Red O staining was used to observe the patho-logical status of atherosclerosis in the two groups,and Masson dyeing was used to detect myocardial fibrosis in each group.The expressions and localization of ATG5,LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ,Beclin-1 and p62 in myocardial tissue of mice in each group were detected by immunofluorescence.The protein levels of ATG5,LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ,Beclin-1 and p62 in myocardial tissue of each group were detected by Western Blot.Result:Oil red O staining showed that obvious atherosclerotic plaque formation was found in the model group,while the area of atherosclerotic plaque in the aerobic exercise group was significantly less than that in the model group,indicating the degree of atherosclerosis was significantly improved.Masson dyeing showed that myocardial fibrosis in the aerobic exercise group was significantly improved compared with the model group,and the degree of myocardial fibrosis in both groups was greater than that in the blank control group.Immunofluorescence and Western Blot analysis showed that the expression levels of ATG5,LC3B II/I,and Be-clin-1 in the myocardial tissue of aerobic exercise group mice were significantly increased,while the level of p62 protein was significantly reduced(P<0.05).Conclusion:Aerobic exercise can significantly improve myocardial fibrosis in mice with atherosclerosis,and the mechanism may be related to aerobic exercise activated autophagy-related factors in myocardial tissue of mice.

Aim To investigate the therapeutic effect of newly formulated Tadalafil tablets on liver fibrosis in mice induced by carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)and its impact on the activation of hepatic stellate cells(HSCs).Methods Liver fibrosis model was estab-lished by intraperitoneally injecting 20％CCl4 corn oil solution twice a week for eight weeks.After four weeks of modeling,the treatment group was administered ei-ther the newly formulated Tadalafil tablets(1.0 mg·kg-1)or the Cialis(2.5 mg·kg-1)via gavage for the remaining four weeks.We assessed the effects of Tadalafil on collagen deposition,tissue structural dam-age,and HSCs activation markers in the fibrotic liver of mice using serum biochemical analysis,histopathologi-cal staining,and Western blotting following the treat-ment period.LX-2 cells were cultured and treated with tadalafil after TGF β1 stimulation,and the effects of tadalafil on LX-2 cell activation were assessed via Western blot.Results Compared to the normal mice,the model group mice exhibited a significantly higher liver-specific index,increased liver function indicators,and notable hepatocyte necrosis.Additionally,liver lobules were damaged,accompanied by severe infiltra-tion of inflammatory cells.Both smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)and fibronectin(Fn)were elevated,serving as markers of HSCs activation.As a result of treatment with the newly formulated Tadalafil tablets,liver tissue damage was significantly reduced,transaminase levels decreased,necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration were reduced,and collagen fiber deposition was allevia-ted,and α-SMA and Fn expression was reduced.It was worth noting that low-dose newly formulated Tadalafil tablets were found to be as effective as high-dose Cia-lis.In a cellular model,Tadalafil significantly inhibited the activation of LX-2 cells and reduced the expression of proteins related to cell activation.Conclusions The newly formulated Tadalafil tablets can significantly inhibit HSCs activation,reduce extracellular matrix(ECM)deposition,improve liver fibrosis and liver function damage caused by CCl4.This new formulation offers a significant advantage over Cialis in terms of ef-fectiveness,with a lower effective dose.

Objective Exploring the therapeutic mechanism of Yishen Jiangzhuo Granules(YSJZG)on chronic kidney disease(CKD)based on mitochondrial dynamics and apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells.Methods The CKD model of rats with 5/6 nephrectomy was adopted and divided into 6 groups according to random number table:sham operation control group,model group,emodin group(500 mg/kg/d),Yishen Jiangzhuo granule low,middle and high dose groups.After 8 weeks of treatment with YSJZG,serum creatinine(SCR)and urea nitrogen(BUN),pathological changes of renal cortex,mitochondrial morphology and ultrastructure were detected,and mitochondrial kinetic protein in renal tubular epithelial cells was detected by immunohistochemistry(Drp1,Fis1)and fusion proteins(Opa1,Mfn1)were detected by Western blot,and apoptotic proteins(CytC,Bax)in cytoplasm and mitochondria were detected by real-time PCR.Results Renal injury:Compared with the model group,YSJZG groups significantly reduced the levels of SCR and BUN,renal tubular degeneration and necrosis,and mitochondrial structural damage in rats.Renal tubule mitochondrial dynamic protein:Compared with the model group,the expression of division proteins Drp1 and Fis1 was downregulated,the expression of fusion proteins Opa1 and Mfn1 was upregulated,and transmission electron microscopy observed that the mitochondrial fragmentation changes were relatively mild.Apoptosis related indicators and mtDNA copy number of renal tubular cells:Compared with the model group,the content of Bax protein in renal tubular epithelial cells of YSJZG groups increased significantly in cytoplasm(P<0.05)and decreased significantly in mitochondria(P<0.05).The content of CytC protein decreased significantly in cytoplasm(P<0.05)and increased significantly in mitochondria(P<0.05).The copy number of mtDNA increased significantly(P<0.05),and the total levels of SMAC,CytC and Bax mRNA decreased significantly(P<0.05).Correlation between mitochondrial dynamic protein and apoptosis in renal tubular cells:Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression of Drp1 and Fis1 was negatively correlated with the expression of CytC in mitochondria,and positively correlated with the expression of CytC in cytoplasm.The expression levels of fusion proteins Opa1 and Mfn1 showed a significant positive correlation with CytC expression in mitochondria,and a significant negative correlation with CytC expression in cytoplasm.Conclusion YSJZG can significantly delay the progression of CKD,and its mechanism may be achieved by regulating mitochondrial dynamics of renal tubular epithelial cells,thereby inhibiting endogenous cell apoptosis pathway.

Objective To establish a stable liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS)method for detecting gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA)in plasma,and to evaluate the value of GABA detection in the diagnosis of sleep disorders.Methods GABA was detected using a UPLC Xevo TQs system.The method was pre-validated and its performance was verified to establish a reference range for healthy individuals.The difference in plasma GABA levels between apparently healthy individuals and patients with sleep disorders was compared.Results We employed deuterated compounds as isotopic internal standards and utilized an Amide chromatographic column for separation.The mobile phase was 0.050%formic acid in water and 90%acetonitrile in water containing 0.175%formic acid and 5 mmol/L ammonium acetate with gradient elution in the column temperature of 35℃.The linear range for the detection of GABA by LC-MS/MS was 0.05-10.00 μmol/L,with a lower limit of quantification of 0.02 μmol/L,the inter-day CV<3.00%and intra assay CV<4.00%,respectively,and the recovery rate was 101.06%-109.02%.The reference ranges for plasma GABA were established by analyzing 300 healthy controls stratified by age:18-34 years(0.08-0.15 μmol/L),35-49 years(0.10-0.20 μmol/L),and≥50 years(0.12-0.23 μmol/L).Then plasma GABA was used as a biomarker for auxiliary diagnosis of sleep disorders in analyzing 221 patients and 300 healthy controls,which revealed that AUC values were 0.510(P=0.850),0.686(P=0.002),and 0.890(P<0.001)in the groups of 18-34 years,35-49 years,and≥50 years,respectively,with optimal cut-off values of 0.09,0.10 and 0.11 μmol/L.Conclusion A reliable LC-MS/MS method for detecting GABA has been established,which can detect plasma GABA levels sensitively and accurately and can be used in assisting the clinical diagnosis of sleep disorders.
