Bronchiolar adenoma (BA) is a rare type of lung tumor characterized by bilayered epithelial cells having a continuous basal layer and a luminal layer. It resembles mucinous adenocarcinoma (MA) on frozen section, with difficulty in distinguishing the basal layer. Immunohistochemistry is the best choice for verifying the diagnosis. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize three cases of BA-combined carcinoma using clinical, histopathological, and genetic features. BA and carcinoma sections were subjected to next-generation sequencing, respectively. It was hypothesized that while different mutation forms matched different regions, BA and lung adenocarcinoma shared the same gene mutation when they co-occurred in the same location. BA with extensive carcinoma is extremely rare and presents diagnostic challenges due to its overlap with conditions such as MA. Because of its distinctive morphological characteristics, BA may be regarded as a low-grade malignancy, particularly during a confusing evaluation. A multifaceted examination of clinical, radiological, immunohistochemical, and genetic data is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.

This study was conducted at a tertiary hospital,where the PDCA(Plan-Do-Check-Act)cycle was applied to establish a refined electricity conservation management system encompassing organizational structure,institutional frameworks,technical measures,and awareness campaigns.Through data analysis,on-site investigations,and case validation,multidimen-sional initiatives were implemented,including enhancing institutional frameworks,carrying out energy-saving technological up-grades,leveraging information technology,adopting market-based electricity procurement,and conducting publicity and educa-tion.The results demonstrated that after the implementation of the system,the hospital's annual electricity consumption growth rate showed a year-on-year decline,reaching 2.25％in 2024-a reduction of 3.66 percentage points compared to 2022.This study verifies the scientific rationale and practical effectiveness of the PDCA cycle in electricity conservation management,offering rep-licable experience for healthcare institutions striving to achieve energy savings and carbon emission reduction goals.

Objective:To explore the correlation between serum ferritin(SF)levels and the efficacy of platelet transfusion in patients with malignant hematological diseases.Methods:Patients with malignant hematological diseases who received repeated transfusions of apheresis platelets in Department of Hematology of Aerospace Center Hospital in 2023 were selected.The platelet corrected count increment(CCI)was used to evaluate the efficacy of platelet transfusion.The correlations between sex,age,disease type,transplantation history,red blood cell transfusion history,and SF level and the efficacy of platelet transfusion were analyzed.Results:A total of 87 patients were included,with a cumulative 326 person-times platelet transfusions.As suggested by one-way analysis of variance,compared with the patients in the age groups of 24-45 years old and 46-66 years old,the patients in the age group of 2-23 years old had a better efficacy of platelet transfusion(P=0.004,P=0.004).There was no significant difference in the efficacy of platelet transfusion between the patients in the age group of 24-45 years old and those in the age group of 46-66 years old(P=0.876).Compared with the patients who had a history of red blood cell transfusion within 3 days,the patients without a history of red blood cell transfusion within 3 days had a better efficacy of platelet transfusion(P＜0.001).Compared with the groups with SF levels of 1.44-2.78 ng/L and＞2.78 ng/L,the group with SF levels＜1.44 ng/L had a better efficacy of platelet transfusion(P=0.028,P＜0.001).Compared with the group with SF levels＞2.78 ng/L,the group with SF levels of 1.44-2.78 ng/L had a better efficacy of platelet transfusion(P=0.001).After adjusting for age and the history of red blood cell transfusion,the transfusion efficacy of the group with SF levels＜1.44 ng/L was better than that of the groups with SF levels of 1.44-2.78 ng/L and＞2.78 ng/L(P=0.021,P＜0.001);Compared with the group with SF levels＞2.78 ng/L,the group with SF levels of 1.44-2.78 ng/L had a better efficacy of platelet transfusion(P=0.001).Both univariate and multivariate linear regression models showed that SF levels were negatively correlated with the efficacy of platelet transfusion(P＜0.001).Conclusion:There is a negative correlation between SF levels and the efficacy of platelet transfusion in patients with malignant hematological diseases.Detection of SF levels may provide guidance for predicting the efficacy of platelet transfusion.

Objective:Non-targeted metabolomics based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS)platform was used to study the metabolic characteristics of multiple myeloma(MM)patients,and explore potential new metabolic mechanisms affecting the occurrence and development of MM.Methods:The study enrolled 42 MM patients,including 21 newly diagnosed(ND)patients and 21 relapsed patients(RP),and 21 age-sex matched healthy controls(HC)as subjects.UPLC-MS analysis platform was used to detect small molecule metabolites in serum of the subjects.Principal component analysis(PCA),orthogonal partial least-squared discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA)and 200 random permutations were used to analyze the differences of metabolic profiles among groups.Identification of differential metabolites was completed in the Human Metabolome Database(HMDB)and abnormal metabolic pathway analysis was performed using the KEGG database.Results:The metabolic profiles of MM patients and healthy controls were significantly separated in both PCA and OPLS-DA models,while the metabolic profiles of newly diagnosed and relapsed MM patients were significantly separated only in OPLS-DA model.In ND vs HC,RP vs HC and RP vs ND cohorts,19,24 and 18 differential metabolites were identified respectively,mainly sphingolipids,glycerophospholipids and fatty acyl amino acids.The metabolic pathway abnormalities in newly diagnosed and relapsed MM patients were mainly manifested in sphingolipid metabolism and glycerophospholipid metabolism compared to healthy controls.Compared with newly diagnosed MM patients,relapsed MM patients were mainly manifested in sphingolipid metabolism and ether-lipid metabolism.Conclusion:The metabolic profiles of MM patients are significantly different from those of healthy people.Relapsed MM patients and newly diagnosed MM patients have similar metabolic profiles,but there are still some differences.Glycerophospholipid metabolism,sphingolipid meta-bolism and ether-lipid metabolism may play important biological roles in the occurrence and development of MM.

Objectives:To explore the predictive value of residual Murray's law-based quantitative flow ratio(μQFR)on long-term vessel-oriented composite endpoints(VoCE).Methods:This retrospective study included 3 510 patients from the FAVOR Ⅲ China trial.Offline residual μQFR analysis was performed on all vessels(diameter≥2.5 mm)with 50%-90%stenotic lesions.Patients were stratified into high-,intermediate-,and low-risk groups based on residual μQFR tertiles.The primary endpoint was 3-year VoCE,defined as a composite of cardiac death related to the target vessel,target vessel-related spontaneous myocardial infarction,and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization.Results:Offline analysis was performed on 5 256 vessels from 3 510 patients.The mean residual μQFR was 0.92±0.75.The high-risk group(residual μQFR≤0.91)with 1 554 patients(1 958 vessels);the intermediate-risk group(residual μQFR 0.92-0.96)with 1 211 patients(1 906 vessels);and the low-risk group(residual μQFR>0.96)with 745 patients(1 392 vessels).Over 3-year follow-up,VoCE occurred in 227 vessels(4.3%).The 3-year VoCE incidence was significantly higher in the high-risk group compared to the intermediate-and low-risk groups(6.2%vs.4.1%vs.2.5%,log-rank P<0.001),primarily driven by ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization(5.0%vs.3.0%vs.1.6%,log-rank P<0.001).Hypertension(OR=0.83,95%CI:0.72-0.96),hypercholesterolemia(OR=0.84,95%CI:0.73-0.97),bifurcation lesions(OR=0.72,95%CI:0.63-0.83),moderate/severe calcification(OR=0.70,95%CI:0.57-0.84),and tandem lesions(OR=0.59,95%CI:0.47-0.75)were independent predictors of lower residual μQFR values.Conclusions:Lower residual μQFR is significantly associated with increased VoCE risk during the 3-year follow up period.

A mounting body of research suggests that circRNAs significantly contribute to the develop-ment of myocardial fibrosis.The microarray results of human circular RNA expression profile indicated that circHERC4_041 expression increased in the myocardium of patients with heart failure,RT-qPCR a-nalysis confirmed that the myocardial expression level of circHERC4_041 in individuals with heart failure were considerably elevated compared to that in healthy organ donors.Fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)confirmed that circHERC4_041 was abundant in the cytoplasm of human cardiomyocyte AC16.Overexpression of circHERC4_041 in mouse myocardial fibroblasts(mCFs)mediated by adenovirus in-hibited the expression of fibrosis-related proteins in mCFs.Experiments involving cell proliferation,wound healing,and Transwell assays demonstrated that overexpression of circHERC4_041 suppressed the growth and mobility of mCFs(P＜0.001).Sequence analysis results suggested that circHERC4_041 con-tains potential ribosome entry sequence(IRES)and open reading frame(ORF).Western blot confirmed that circHERC4_041 could translate the 516 amino acid HERC4-516aa protein,which was mainly located in the cytoplasm of the cell.Cell functional experiments confirmed that circHERC4_041 inhibited the fi-brotic phenotype of mCFs by specifically translating HERC4-516aa(P＜0.05).The specific interaction between HERC4-516aa and transglutaminase 2(TGM2)was confirmed by IP-MS screening and Co-IP i-dentification.Further results found that the degradation of TGM2 was promoted through proteasome path-way.The overexpression of TGM2 in mCFs facilitated by adenoviral vectors could counteract the suppres-sive effects of HERC4-516aa on the fibrotic phenotype of mCFs.Therefore,this study confirmed that the HERC4-516aa protein translated by circHERC4_041 can specifically bind to TGM2 to inhibit the fibrotic phenotype of myocardial fibroblasts.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between imaging features of mixed ground-glass nodules(mGGNs)under dual lung enhanced CT and pathological subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 102 isolated mGGN lung adenocarcinoma patients admitted to Dalian Central Hospital from October 2016 to October 2018.The patients were divided into adenocarcinoma in situ(AIS)group,minimally invasive adenocarcinoma(MIA)group and invasive adenocarcinoma(IAC)group according to postoperative pathological examination results.Measure the maximum diameter lesions,the maximum diameter of solid components and the proportion of solid components to evaluate imaging features of three groups.The relationship between pathological subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma and baseline features,imaging features,mGGN lesions,maximum diameter of solid components and proportion of solid components were analyzed.The diagnostic value of the maximum diameter of lesions,the maximum diameter of solid components,and the proportion of solid components in IAC were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.Results:102 patients were divided into AIS group(n=20),MIA group(n=29)and IAC group(n=53)based on postoperative pathological diagnosis.There was a statistically significant difference in age among the three groups(P＜0.05).Tumor distribution locations:35 cases in the upper lobe of the right lung,10 cases in the middle lobe of the right lung,and 15 cases in the lower lobe of the right lung;23 cases in the upper lobe of the left lung and 19 cases in the lower lobe of the left lung,the tumor distribution locations in the upper lobe of the right lung was relatively high in various pathological subtypes.The lesions in AIS and MIA groups were mostly circular or elliptical in shape,whiile the lesions in the IAC group was mostly irregular in shape.There was a statistically significant difference in morphological comparisons among the three groups(P＜0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in burr sign between MIA group and IAC group(P＜0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in pleural indentation sign and bronchial inflation sign between MIA group and IAC group(P＜0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the maximum diameter of lesions and the maximum diameter of solid components among the three groups(P＜0.05).The proportion of solid components in IAC group was higher than that in AIS and MIA groups,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The ROC curve shows that,the area under curve(AUC)for diagnosing IAC based on the maximum diameter of the lesion,the maximum diameter of the solid component,and the proportion of the solid component were 0.840,0.966 and 0.816,respectively.The AUC of diagnosing IAC with the maximum diameter of the solid component was greater than the AUC of the maximum diameter of the lesion and the proportion of solid components(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Dual lung enhanced CT can evaluate the imaging features of mGGN,and it can distinguish the pathological subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma,when the maximum diameter of the lesion is ≥ 16.5 mm,the maximum diameter of the solid component is ≥5.5 mm,or the proportion of solid component is ≥47.00％,it can effectively diagnose IAC,the maximum diameter of solid components has the best diagnostic efficiency for IAC.
