Objective:To investigate the predictive value of the cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) elimination rate constant K (KELIM) score for no visible residual disease (R0) and prognosis in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT)+interval debulking surgery (IDS). Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 78 HGSOC patients treated with NACT+IDS at Beijing Hospital, from June 2014 to June 2024. The KELIM score was calculated, and its predictive value for R0 resection, chemotherapy response score (CRS), platinum-free interval (PFI), progression-free survival (PFS) time, and overall survival (OS) time was analyzed.Results:(1) The mean age at diagnosis was (61.9±9.9) years. The mean KELIM score was 1.1±0.4, with 44 patients having KELIM score≥1 and 34 having KELIM score <1. (2) Patients with KELIM score ≥1 had significantly higher rates of R0 resection (84% vs 56%; P=0.006), CRS3 grading (41% vs 0; P<0.001), and PFI ≥6 months (84% vs 53%; P=0.04) compared to those with KELIM score <1. Additionally, the median PFS time (18.7 vs 13.2 months; P<0.001) and OS time (34.8 vs 29.9 months; P=0.007) were significantly longer in the KELIM score ≥1 group. Chemosensitivity: patients with PFI <6 months had a significantly lower median KELIM score than those with PFI ≥6 months (0.8 vs 1.2; P=0.005). Surgical outcome: patients achieving R0 resection had a significantly higher median KELIM score than those without R0 (1.2 vs 0.7; P<0.001). (3) Univariate analysis identified non-R0 resection, CRS3 grading, lack of poly adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor maintenance therapy, and KELIM score <1 as significant risk factors for OS time (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis confirmed non-R0 resection ( HR=3.78,95% CI: 1.13-12.66; P=0.031), no PARP inhibitor maintenance ( HR=7.41,95% CI:1.82-30.15; P=0.005), and KELIM score <1 ( HR=5.14,95% CI:1.41-18.72; P=0.013) as independent risk factors for OS time. Conclusions:The KELIM score may serve as a predictive marker for chemosensitivity, R0 resection, PFS time, and OS time in HGSOC patients undergoing NACT+IDS. KELIM score<1 is an independent risk factor for OS.

Objective To analyze the composition and function of residual cells in pre-transplantation human thymic slices by single-cell transcriptomics sequencing(scRNA-seq),and established a quality assessment method for thymic slices based on the expression levels of molecular markers in the culture supernatant.Methods The discarded thymus from 18 patients with congenital heart disease undergoing surgical treatment in Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of Children's Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University from May 2023 to January 2024 were collected and prepared into thymic slices.After the slices were cultured in vitro for 14 d,scRNA-seq was employed to identify the residual cell types,and gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis was performed to analyze the biological function of the residual cells.Then based on the literature concerning thymic slice culture,the molecular markers indicating thymocyte function were screened out.ELISA was applied to detect the changes in protein levels of molecular markers in the supernatant.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted and assess the value of the molecular markers in the supernatant in evaluating the quality of thymic slices with area under the curve(AUC).Then,the qualified and unqualified thymic slices determined by our obtained molecular markers were transplanted subcutaneously into male nude mice(6～8 weeks old,weighing 14～17 g),respectively,and the male nude mice without transplantation of the thymic slices served as control group.Flow cytometry and histologic analysis were utilized to observe the immune reconstitution after transplantation.Results ① scRNA-seq identified 11 cell types in thymic slices,dominated with epithelial cells,fibroblasts,and T cells.GO and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that epithelial cells were involved in enrichment entries related to chemotaxis,epithelial cell development,cell matrix adhesion and tight junction;fibroblasts were involved in enrichment entries related to extracellular matrix,epithelial cell proliferation,negative regulation of cell migration,and regulation of actin cytoskeleton;T cells were mainly related to T cell differentiation,regulation of T cell activation,T cell apoptosis,and T cell receptor signaling.② Molecular markers,CCL19,CCL21,CXCL12,CXCL16,IL16 and SELL were identified to indicate thymocyte function.Compared with the levels of the first day,the protein secretions of CCL19,CCL21,CXCL12 and CXCL16 were significantly increased during in vitro culture(P<0.05),while the protein secretions of IL16 and L-selectin(protein form of SELL)were significantly decreased(P<0.05).The combined predictor Pre1 from subset of cytokines(IL16 and L-selectin)had the highest value in the quality assessment of thymic slices after 1 d of culture(AUC=0.883),and the combined predictor Pre2 from subset of cytokines(CCL19,CCL21,CXCL12 and CXCL16)had the highest value in the quality assessment after 14 d of culture(AUC=0.948).③ Transplantation in nude mice indicated that the qualified thymic slices could develop to thymus structure in vivo,and effectively increase the proportion of T cells in peripheral blood(P<0.01),while the unqualified thymic slices could not obtain the reconstitution of T cell development.Conclusion The main residual component cells in thymic slices are epithelial cells,fibroblasts and T cells.IL16 and L-selectin can be used as potential indicators to determine the quality of donor thymic samples.CCL19,CCL21,CXCL12 and CXCL16 can effectively evaluate the quality of thymic slices before transplantation.

As an independent first-level discipline,an appropriate classification of nursing science is significant.In China,each nursing degree-granting institution has developed its own secondary-level discipline directions based on its research characteristics and strengths,with varying names and research scopes.Furthermore,there is no unified global classification system.This paper,based on the characteristics of nursing as a discipline and combined with China's discipline classification principles,used literature analysis,comprehensive classification,philosophical reflection,logical reasoning,and expert consultation methods to explore the connotation of nursing,its unique research objects and scope,and to construct a secondary-level discipline classification system for nursing science that is suitable for China's national conditions.The paper also discussed the challenges faced by the nursing discipline and its future development directions,providing theoretical and practical guidance for the development of the nursing discipline.

ObjectiveTo monitor the real-time changes in ammonia concentration in the laboratory animal facility environment before, during, and after the air conditioning system stops supplying air, so as to provide a basis and reference for developing emergency plans for the shutdown of the air conditioning system. MethodsThe laboratory animal facilities of the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products were used as the research object. Ammonia concentration detectors were used to monitor ammonia concentration continuously in the environment of conventional rabbit production facility, SPF hamster production facility, and SPF guinea pig experimental facility before and after the passive shutdown due to repairs and active maintenance shutdown of the air conditioning system, as well as the time for the ammonia concentration to return to daily levels after resuming air supply. ResultsUnder both shutdown modes of the air conditioning system, the trend of ammonia concentration changes in different laboratory animal facilities was consistent, showing a rapid increase after shutdown and a rapid decrease after resuming air supply. Under active maintenance shutdown, the maximum ammonia concentrations in the conventional rabbit production facilities, SPF hamster production facilities, and SPF guinea pig experimental facilities were 9.81 mg/m³, 14.27 mg/m³, and 6.98 mg/m³, respectively. Within 12 minutes after resuming air supply, ammonia concentration could return to normal daily levels. Under passive long-term shutdown, ammonia concentration value was positively correlated with the duration of air supply suspension. As the shutdown duration increased, ammonia concentration continued to increase. The maximum ammonia concentration values in the three facilities occurred at 88 minutes (38.06 mg/m³), 40 minutes (18.43 mg/m³), and 34 minutes (15.61 mg/m³) after air supply suspension, respectively.Within 11 minutes after resuming air supply, ammonia concentration could return to normal daily levels. ConclusionShutdown of the air conditioning system causes a rapid increase in ammonia concentration in laboratory animal facilities, and the rise in ammonia concentration is positively correlated with the duration of air supply suspension. Therefore, when an emergency shutdown of the air-conditioning system is required due to maintenance or other reasons, backup fans should be provided in accordance with the requirements of GB 50447-2008 "Architectural and Technical Code for Laboratory Animal Facilities". Older facilities should make adequate preparations and develop a scientifically sound emergency plan.

[Objective]Childhood trauma(CT)is considered one of the major risk factors for developing major depres-sive disorder(MDD)in adulthood.However,the neural basis of MDD patients with CT(CT-MDD)remains poorly under-stood.Therefore,the objective of our study is to explore the resting-state global brain functional connectivity(FC)in CT-MDD.[Methods]A total of 34 CT-MDD and 34 healthy controls performed resting-state fMRI.Whole-brain voxel-level degree centrality(DC)analysis was performed,and the brain regions with significant differences between the two groups were selected as region of interest(ROI)for further estimating the global brain FC.Subsequently,correlation analysis was performed between DC values,FC values in abnormal brain areas and clinical characteristics.[Results]The CT-MDD group showed increased DC value of the right middle frontal gyrus(MFG)compared with the healthy controls.Seed-based FC revealed that the CT-MDD group showed increased connections between the left precuneus and the right MFG or the right medial prefrontal cortex,relative to healthy controls(threshold at P<0.05).Additionally,the DC value of the right MFG was correlated with the severity of CT.[Conclusion]Our results show the increased FC between the left precuneus and the ROI(right MFG)as well as the right medial prefrontal cortex,which are two important brain regions within the de-fault mode network(DMN),and might suggest increased synchronism between the cognitive executive networks and DMN in CT-MDD.These findings may provide insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying CT-MDD.

Objective:To predict the molecular mechanism of Biminkang Granules in the treatment of allergic rhinitis using network pharmacological methods combined with animal experiments.Methods:Active component targets and allergic rhinitis targets were screened from TCMSP, OMIM, GeneCards, TTD, DrugBank and PharmGKB databases; R language software was used to map the intersection of drug and disease targets; Cytoscape software and String platform were used to construct intersection target PPI network and conduct network topology analysis; DAVID platform was used to perform GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analysis, and perform molecular docking verification on the main active components and key targets. 32 rats were divided into a blank group of 8 and a model group of 24 using a random number table method. Model rats were induced by ovalbumin to establish an allergic rhinitis model. 24 SD rats that were successfully modeled and were randomly divided into model group, Western medicine group, and Biminkang Granules group using a random number table method, with 8 rats in each group. The Western medicine group was gavaged with 1 mg/kg of loratadine solution, the Biminkang Granules group was gavaged with 4.1 g/kg of Biminkang Granules solution, and the blank group and model group rats were gavaged with the same volume of physiological saline once a day for 2 consecutive weeks. The symptoms of rhinitis in each group of rats for 30 minutes were observed and recorded, and the pathological changes of the rat nasal mucosa were observed using HE staining. ELISA method was used to detect the levels of IL-17 and IL-6 in rat serum, and Western blot method was used to determine the expressions of TNF and STAT3 proteins in rat tissues.Results:A total of 41 target proteins of BiMinKang Dranule in the treatment of allergic rhinitis were predicted, and TNF, STAT3 and other core target proteins were obtained by PPI network topology analysis. The biological process of GO involved drug response, inflammatory response, cytokine response, etc.KEGG enrichment is involved in Th17 cell differentiation, lipid and atherosclerosis, IL-17, toll-like receptor and other pathways. Molecular docking results indicated that the main active components had good binding activity to key target proteins.Animal experiments showed that BiMinKang Dranule could improve the inflammatory symptoms of allergic rhinitis rats, down-regulate the expression of IL-17 and IL-6 in blood, and inhibit the expression of TNF and STAT3 proteins.Conclusion:Biminkang Granules can treat allergic rhinitis through multiple active components, multiple target proteins and multiple pathways, and the mechanism may be related to the regulation of Th17 cell differentiation pathway related proteins.
