Aim To explore the mechanism of the effect of siRNA-mediated MAGE-3 silencing on intesti-nal flora,gastric mucosal PTEN expression and liver metastasis in rats with gastric cancer based on MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.Methods Thirty rats were randomly divided into the normal(CO)group,model(MO)group,and MAGE-3 silenced(SM)group,with 10 rats in each group.The model of MO group and SM group was established by MNNG gavage meth-od.After successful modeling,the SM group was intri-toneally injected with 20 μg·kg-1 shRNA MAGE-3 lentiviral vector.The number of intestinal flora in rats was detected by selective medium of intestinal flora,the expression of PTEN in gastric mucosa was detected by immunohistochemistry,liver metastasis was detected by HE staining,and the protein expression of MAPK/ERK signaling pathway was detected by Western blot.The regulatory effect of siRNA-mediated MAGE-3 si-lencing on MAPK/ERK signaling pathway was verified in vitro.Results Compared with CO group,the con-tents of Enterococcus and Escherichia coli,the protein expressions of P-MEK1,P-ERK1 and P-ELK1 in MO group increased(P＜0.05),while the contents of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium and the expression of PTEN decreased(P＜0.05).In SM group,the con-tents ofEnterococcus,Escherichiacoli,P-MEK1,P-ERK1 and P-ELK1 protein expressions decreased(P＜0.05),while the contents of Lactobacillus,Bifidobac-terium and PTEN expression increased(P＜0.05).Compared with group CO,the protein expressions of P-MEK1,p-ERK1 and P-ELK1 in group MO were not significantly different(P＞0.05),while the protein expressions of P-MEK1,p-ERK1 and P-ELK1 in group SM were reduced compared with group MO(P＜0.05).Conclusions siRNA-mediated MAGE-3 si-lencing can significantly improve intestinal flora,pro-mote the expression of PTEN in gastric mucosa,and inhibit liver metastasis in rats with gastric cancer.The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.

Insulin is an important protein hormone that participates in multiple metabolic pathways.Biosynthetic insulin has been widely used in the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.Currently,the number of reported cases of insulin overdose both at home and abroad is gradually increasing,and insulin homicide is no longer a means of"committing murder without leaving a trace".At present,there are no systematic protocols for the identification of insulin overdose in the field of forensic medi-cine in China.This article introduces the causes,toxicological characteristics,forensic examination,labo-ratory testing methods and indicator reference of insulin overdose.Based on the identification practice and research results and referring to relevant studies on insulin overdose at home and abroad,this pa-per aims to provide recommendations and references for the formulation of forensic identification guide-lines for insulin overdose cases.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological distribution,microbiological characteristics,drug-resistance status,and risk factors for mortality in adult intensive care unit(ICU)patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae infection.Methods This multi-center prospective cohort study included ICU patients with suspected infection from 67 hospitals across 16 Chinese provinces/municipalities between July 1,2021 and December 31,2022.Clinical data and microbiological results were collected,and patients were divided into survival and non-survival groups according to their survival status and drug-resistance situation.Risk factors for mortality and drug resistance in ICU patients with Klebsiella pneumonia infection were determined through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results A total of 2964 ICU-infected patients were enrolled,with 12 175 microbial specimens submitted for testing.Among these,487 specimens tested positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae.Ultimately,314 patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae infection were identified,primarily from lung infections,with a drug-resistance rate of 78.3%.The in-hospital mortality rate of ICU patients infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae was 19.8%.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that older age(P=0.027),high drug-resistance rate(P=0.028),and low clinical-effectiveness rate(P<0.001)were independent risk factors for mortality in ICU patients infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae.Drug-resistance analysis showed that,compared with non-resistant cases,ICU patients with drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infection had lower pathogen-clearance rates(P=0.003),clinical-effectiveness rates(P=0.004),and antibiotic-effectiveness rates(P<0.010),and higher mortality rates(P=0.006).Patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae abdominal infection(P=0.003)and urinary tract infection(P=0.007)had higher drug-resistance incidences.There were no statistically significant differences in clinical-effectiveness rate,Klebsiella pneumoniae clearance,drug-resistance incidence,mortality rate,or hospital-stay length between patients with lung infection and those with non-lung infection of Klebsiella pneumoniae(P>0.05).Compared with patients with non-bloodstream infection,patients with bloodstream infection of Klebsiella pneumoniae had lower clinical-effectiveness rates(P=0.027)and higher mortality rates(P=0.021).Conclusions Older age,high drug-resistance rate,and low clinical-effectiveness rate are independent risk factors for mortality in ICU patients infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae.ICU patients with bloodstream infection of Klebsiella pneumoniae may have lower clinical-effectiveness rates and higher mortality rates.ICU patients with abdominal and urinary tract infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae are more likely to develop drug resistance.

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.

The tannin content of sorghum seeds had a significant impact on the wine's quality during the brewing process.Additionally,when used as a feed ingredient,the tannin content had a major impact on feed consumption.Thus the tannin content of sorghum has a substantial impact on its quality and application.To quickly and nondestructively determine the tannin content of sorghum,near-infrared spectroscopy was combined with chemometrics in this study,which eliminated the need for time-consuming and costly conventional approaches.Following the spectra's preprocessing,anomalous samples were removed by using a combination of Gaussian process regression(GPR)and Monte Carlo cross-validation(MCCV).The sample set was then randomly divided into a modeling set and a prediction set,with feature wavelength selection carried out using the elimination of uninformative variables(UVE)method.Subsequently,a GPR model was developed,and its performance was compared with partial least squares regression(PLSR)and support vector machine regression(SVR)models.The results indicated that the GPR model outperformed the PLSR and SVR models in all aspects.The optimized GPR model,generated following pre-processing process such as Detrending and Savitzky-Golay smoothing,elimination of anomalous samples,and selection of feature wavelengths,demonstrated superior performance,with model set determination coefficient(Rc2),prediction set determination coefficient(RP2),and relative percent deviation(RPD)values of 0.9979,0.9529,and 4.8453,respectively.These findings validated the effectiveness of the GPR regression model,which integrated near-infrared spectroscopy with chemometrics,for the rapid and non-destructive detection of sorghum tannins.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacies of different surgical methods for elderly patients with lumbar tuberculosis.Methods The clinical data of 289 elderly patients with lumbar tuberculosis admitted to Hebei Chest Hospital from August 2018 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.According to surgical methods,the patients were divided into the posterior group(109 cases),the anterior and posterior combination group(81 cases),and the anterior group(99 cases).The time of bone graft and fusion,operation time,hospital stay,intraoperative blood loss,and complications of the three groups were collected and compared among the three groups.The spine Cobb angle was regularly determined,the correction degree was calculated;the levels of erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),white blood cell count(WBC),and C-reactive protein(CRP)were collected and compared among the three groups;and the Frankel grading and visual analogue scale(VAS)scores of the three groups were compared.Results After a 2-year follow-up,there was no significant difference in the time of bone graft and fusion among the three groups(P>0.05),the anterior group had the shortest operation time,the posterior group had the shortest hospital stay,and the lowest intraoperative blood loss and incidence of complications,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The correction degree of the anterior and posterior combination group was better than that of the posterior group and the anterior group(P<0.05),and the Cobb angles after operation and at the last follow-up in the posterior group was better(P<0.05).The anterior and posterior combination group had better improvement effect on CRP and ESR at the last follow-up(P<0.05),the WBC level of the posterior group was lower(P<0.05).The proportions of patients in grade E of Frankel grading at the last follow-up in the three groups were higher than those after surgery(P<0.05);compared with the preoperative period,the VAS scores at the last follow-up of the three groups decreased(P<0.05),and the VAS score of the posterior group was lower(P<0.05).Conclusion The effects of anterior surgery,posterior surgery and anterior and posterior combined surgery in the treatment of elderly lumbar tuberculosis are good,and the approach method can be scientifically and reasonably formulated according to patients' physical condition to improve the clinical treatment effect.

Diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, collectively referred to the " Three Highs, " represent increasingly prevalent metabolic risk factors in China. Many individuals experience all three conditions concurrently, significantly heightening the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Although the National Metabolic Management Center(MMC) has been established for over eight years and has its unique features, the awareness, treatment, and control rates of these diseases in China remain low, and the efficiency of community management is insufficient. According to the previous two editions of management guidelines and the most recent domestic and international diagnostic and treatment guidelines, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the operational experience and management strategies of the MMC. Its aim is to improve the efficiency of grassroots MMC mode management for " Three Highs" patients and ensure that patients receive more standardized management.
