ObjectiveTo investigate the differential expression of integrin alpha-6(ITGA6) in abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) tissues and its molecular mechanisms in regulating AWE. Methods36 AWE lesions were designated as the experimental group, while 36 cases of normal endometrial tissues served as the controls. Differential expression of ITGA6 between the two groups was assessed through immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. Human ITGA6 gene-specific interference sequences were designed, synthesized, and packaged into lentiviral vectors to establish the Ishikawa cell line with ITGA6-knockdown. Similarly, the ITGA6-overexpression cell line was constructed using the coding sequence (CDS) of the gene. Real-time PCR and Western blot were performed to detect changes in epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)-related markers and angiogenesis-related indicators. Cell invasion and migration capabilities were assessed by Cell Scratch and Transwell assays. Furthermore, Western blot was conducted to profile PI3K/AKT pathway dynamics. ResultsEctopic endometrial tissues exhibited a marked increase in the number of ITGA6-positive cells and their expression intensity compared to eutopic endometrium (each P < 0.001). Compared with the NC group, the ITGA6-knockdown group showed significantly reduced expression of N-cadherin, VEGF, and TGF-β1 (all P < 0.01), while E-cadherin expression was markedly increased (P < 0.01). Concomitantly, the invasion and migration capacities of ITGA6-low expression were significantly impaired (P < 0.001 for both), accompanied by a marked reduction in AKT and phosphorylated AKT(p-AKT) levels (P < 0.001). Conversely, overexpressing ITGA6 resulted in opposite effects. ConclusionITGA6 modulates EMT and angiogenesis in Ishikawa cells via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, thereby enhancing cell invasion and migration capabilities, which contributes to the pathogenesis of AWE.

Objective To optimize the extraction, separation and purification process of Actinoside E. Methods Single factor experiment combined with orthogonal test was used to determine the optimal extraction process of Actinoside E using its content as an index. The extracts were separated and purified by optimizing the chromatographic conditions of macroporous resin, silica gel and ODS column. Results 25 times amount of 55% ethanol with heating reflux at 95℃ for one hour were used as the optimal extraction process of Actinoside E. The optimum separation and purification process was as follows: D101 macroporous resin column was eluted with 7 BV of 50% ethanol, silica gel column was eluted with 5 BV of ethyl acetate-ethanol(10∶1)and 50% methanol eluted fraction was purified repeatedly by ODS column to obtain Actinoside E. The transfer rate of Actinoside E in the whole process was 53.70%, the yield was 0.35%, and the purity was 99.9%. Conclusion The process is stable and viable, which can provide material foundation for the development and utilization of Actinoside E.

During long-term extravehicular activities(EVA),there have been multiple instances of localized discomfort due to cold extremities such as hands and feet.The primary reason is that the design of space suit gloves prioritizes maximizing operational flexibility,which leads to reduced passive thermal protection in certain areas.Insufficient local thermal protection can cause the hands to lose metabolic heat in cold environments over time,resulting in cold stress.Therefore,it is necessary to conduct research on temperature control technology to meet the thermal comfort requirements of astronauts' hands during EVA.Effective active temperature measures can expand the range of low temperature working environments that astronauts' hands can adapt to during EVA,enhance hand thermal comfort,and ensure hand operational capabilities,preventing excessive cold from exceeding medical requirement and affecting extravehicular missions.This paper combines the metabolic heat generation patterns of the human hand to analyze the temperature control requirements for extravehicular gloves,simulate and optimize the layout of electric heaters,and evaluate the feasibility of the electric heating system for extravehicular gloves by building a thermal simulation model.Through prototype vacuum thermal testing,comprehensive verification of the temperature control module for extravehicular gloves was achieved,demonstrating the effectiveness of the temperature control system.

Methods In accordance with the Standardization Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Guidelines for Health Standards Tracking Evaluation (WS/T 536-2017), a combination of cluster sampling and stratified sampling methods was employed to select professionals involved in proton accelerator radiotherapy devices and facilities in three provinces (or municipalities directly under the central government) as the subjects of the survey. A questionnaire was developed to collect basic information about the subjects and their understanding and application of the technical indicators in the standard. A standard evaluation indicator system with a total score of 100 points was established to score the implementation of the standard (40 points), the technical content (30 points), and the effectiveness of the implementation (30 points). Results A total of 169 professionals from 107 institutions participated in the survey, with 79.88% of the respondents having at least 5 years of experience in radiation therapy and 74.56% holding intermediate or higher professional titles. The score of standard implementation was 18.3 points. The awareness rate exceeded 80%, indicating a high level of awareness about the standard. However, the scores for the dissemination and application of the standard were relatively low, accounting for 28% and 32% of their respective full marks. The technical content of the standard and the effectiveness of its implementation scored 27.0 and 26.6 points, respectively. The overall score in the evaluation of standard implementation was 72 points, with scores of 68.6, 72.3, and 75.0 for Beijing City, Shanghai City, and Jiangsu Province, respectively. Conclusion GBZ/T 201.5-2015 Radiation shielding requirements for radiotherapy rooms-Part 5: Radiotherapy room of proton accelerators is scientific and operable, and it is well-coordinated with relevant laws and standards. However, considering the development in FLASH technology and multi-chamber radiotherapy room, it is necessary to revise and improve the standard.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects and value for application of the tibial flap of the second toe with the vascular pedicle including a plantar vein on the reconstruction of fingertip soft tissue defects.Methods:From October 2020 to August 2022, retrospective analysis of 12 patients (12 digits) were treated at the Department of Hand Surgery, Suzhou Ruihua Orthopaedic Hospital for small soft tissue defects of fingertip. The patients were 9 males and 3 females and aged 29-54 years, at 38 years in average. The fingertip defects were measured at approximately 1.2 cm × 0.8 cm to 1.2 cm × 1.2 cm. In the surgery, a tibial flap of second toe was designed to reconstruct the defect in fingertip. The flap were designed on the tibial of second toe without an extended incision in dorsal foot. The pedicle of the flap carried with the lateral proper digital artery, a nerve and the plantar vein of the second toe. At the recipient site, the artery, nerve and vein carried by the pedicle of the flap were end-to-end anastomosed with the digital artery, digital nerve and subcutaneous vein of the finger. The flaps were measured at 1.5 cm×1.0 cm - 1.5 cm×1.5 cm in size. All donor sites were reconstructed with skin grafts from the ipsilateral calf. Scheduled postoperative follow-ups were conducted at the outpatient clinic. The Michigan Hand Function Questionnaire (MHQ) evaluation criteria was employed to assess the recovery of hand function, and Total Active Movement (TAM) was used to evaluate the recovery of range of motion of the interphalangeal joints of the affected fingers.Results:All 12 flaps in the fingertips survived. Postoperative follow-ups lasted from 6 months to 2 years, with an average of 11 months. One flap was slightly bloated and a flap aesthetic surgery was followed at 3 months after the primary reconstructive surgery, and the rest of flaps were all in good appearance. TPD was found at 12 -14 mm for all flaps at 9 months after surgery. All donor sites in the feet and calfs had primary healing, without a contracture or rupture of skin graft or an obvious dysfunction at the donor sites. According to the evaluation criteria of the MHQ, 8 patients were very satisfied with the overall appearance of the hand, and 4 were satisfied. Finger movement was evaluated according to TAM criteria, all 12 fingers were rated excellent.Conclusion:Reconstruction of a fingertip defect with a tibial flap of the second toe with the vascular pedicle including a plantar vein of the second toe has a good clinical efficacy. It has advantages in flap harvest, avoids an extended incision on dorsal foot, and makes a minimal damage to the donor site.

Objective To investigate the the effects of fracture fragment size and fixation method on biomechanical stability of distal tibial epiphyseal injuries in children.Methods A three-dimensional(3D)finite element model of a Salter-Harris Ⅱ(SH-Ⅱ)epiphyseal injury with fracture fragments of varying sizes(Small,Middle,Big)was constructed using computed tomography(CT)data from the lower limb of a 10-year-old volunteer.and bone-internal fixation assemblies were created with 1-3 screws(1 S group,2 S group,3 S group)and Kirschner wire(K group).The model was subjected to gravitational forces,posterior drawer forces,and external rotation.Displacement and stress distributions on fracture fragments and fixation devices were analyzed.Results The maximum displacement for the four groups of models was concentrated at the distal end of the fracture fragment.Under gravity conditions,the maximum displacement of the distal end of the fracture fragment in the 1 S,2 S,3 S and K models in Small group was 5.69,5.57,5.56,0.11 mm,respectively,and the bone stress was 16.95,12.26,8.57 and 5.00 MPa,respectively.A high stress area at the epiphyseal plate and the fracture line was easily formed under screw fixation,while a high stress area at the edge of the epiphyseal plate was formed under Kirschner wire fixation.Conclusions When distal tibial epiphyseal injuries in children are treated by using screws,increasing the number of screws can improve the fixation stability and share local bone stress,but the connection area between the fracture fragment and the epiphyseal plate cannot be too small.Kirschner wire fixation can provide better biomechanical effects than screw fixation.

Objective The athletic performance and physiological indicators of two top seated cross-country skiers during simulated competitions were analyzed,and the characteristics of exercise intensity and pacing strategies in different terrains were explored,so as to provide a scientific basis for physical fitness allocation and speed rhythm optimization of the athletes.Methods Differential global positioning system and Momentum Technology MT-Sports T2 were used to test athlete A and athlete B with class of locomotor winter 10(LW 10),who were the first and second runners-up of Beijing Winter Paralympic mid-distance cross-country ski race.The athletes' real-time gliding speed and heart rate during five consecutive 15 km cross-country skiing time trials were collected,and the time spent on each section,speed and heart rate changes in each course were analyzed.Results The coefficient of variation(CV)of mean heart rate on uphill and flat terrain sections were significantly correlated with total scores.The average gliding speed and average heart rate as a percentage of maximum heart rate(HRmax)of the athletes in three terrains were significantly correlated with total scores.The correlation between the mean time spent on uphill and flat terrain and total performance was stronger than that between the mean time spent on downhill terrain and total scores.Both athletes used a cumulative acceleration speed rhythm.Conclusions Uphill and flat terrain time are critical to race performance.Athletes adopt a progressive pacing strategy,gradually increasing speed in the first half,maintaining stable output in the mid-race,and finishing the last lap at a high-speed.Heart rates are mainly distributed between 70%-90%HRmax,and balancing high-intensity efforts on uphills with recovery on downhills helps optimize energy expenditure.
