Human carboxylesterase 2A (hCES2A) plays pivotal roles in prodrug activation and hydrolytic metabolism of ester-bearing chemicals. Targeted inhibition of intestinal hCES2A represents a feasible strategy to mitigate irinotecan-triggered gut toxicity (ITGT), but the orally active, selective, and efficacious hCES2A inhibitors are rarely reported. Here, a novel drug-like hCES2A inhibitor was developed via three rounds of structure-based drug design (SBDD) and structural optimization. Initially, donepezil was identified as a moderate hCES2A inhibitor from 2000 US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs. Following two rounds of SBDD and structural optimization, a donepezil derivative (B7) was identified as a strong reversible hCES2A inhibitor. Subsequently, nine B7 carbamates were rationally designed, synthesized and biologically assayed. Among all synthesized carbamates, C3 showed the most potent time-dependent inhibition on hCES2A (IC50 = 0.56 nmol/L), excellent specificity and favorable drug-like properties. C3 could covalently modify the catalytic serine of hCES2A with high selectivity, while this agent also showed favorable safety profiles, high intestinal exposure, and impressive effects for ameliorating ITGT in both human intestinal organoids and tumor-bearing mice. Collectively, this study showcases a rational strategy for developing drug-like and serine-targeting covalent inhibitors against target serine hydrolase(s), while C3 emerges as a promising orally active drug candidate for ameliorating ITGT.

Objective:To construct a prior based on the inherent properties of PET to accurately segment the lesion areas.Methods:A network framework for PET tumor segmentation driven by geodesic priors was proposed (geodesic network for short). Specifically, partial differential equations were constructed to characterize the geodesic distances between different regions in PET images. Tumor marker points identified by CT labeling were used as the initial conditions for the equations. To enhance the contrast between areas of lung or breast tumors and normal tissues, a smooth Heaviside function was utilized to map the geodesic distances. The network framework adopted a dual-branch architecture, using geodesic priors to assist in PET image segmentation.Results:The proposed method achieved a Dice coefficient of 94.92% in lung cancer segmentation and 90.12% in breast cancer segmentation. With the addition of geodesic priors in the Unet, the Dice coefficient for breast cancer increased by 32.37% (from 42.50% to 74.87%).Conclusion:Geodesic priors can significantly improve segmentation outcomes and enhance the generalization capability of the network.

Objective:To construct a biosafety evaluation index system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions.Methods:Based on previous laboratory biosafety evaluation work, relevant regulations and standards on biosafety in China were collected through literature research and expert consultations. Candidate indicators for constructing the biosafety evaluation system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions were selected, and a framework was established. Two rounds of expert questionnaires were conducted to determine the content of the index system based on experts′ evaluation, and each indicator′s relevance and importance were scored. Finally, two rounds of Delphi consultations were carried out, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to calculate the weights of indicators.Results:The response rates for the total four rounds of questionnaire surveys were all 100%. The first two rounds focused on determining the framework, while the latter two focused on determining the weights for each indicator. The authority coefficients of the expert consultations for the two rounds of weights were 0.65 and 0.70, respectively, indicating the reliability of the research results. In the final round of survey, the Kendall′s coefficients of concordance at each level were all greater than 0.1. Through statistical testing, the P-values were all less than 0.05, indicating good coordination of expert opinions. Ultimately, we established an operational biosafety evaluation system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions, consisting of 4 primary indicators, 26 secondary indicators, and 119 tertiary indicators, with additional deduction items, bonus items, unacceptable items, and monitoring indicators.Conclusions:Based on scientific theory, a biosafety evaluation system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions was constructed, achieving the integration of routine and emergency measures. This system can be used for self-assessment of laboratory biosafety during emergency public health events, addressing the lack of unified standards in biosafety evaluation. Through regular self-assessment, it can enhance the level of biosafety management in medical institution laboratories, to realize the value of application and dissemination.

Objective:To explore the potential category characteristics of social participation in colorectal cancer patients with stoma and analyze the influencing factors of different potential categories, so as to provide references for formulating and implementing targeted nursing measures.Methods:By using the convenience sampling method, colorectal cancer patients with stoma who were hospitalized or had outpatient follow-up visits at Guilin Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical University from January to December 2024 were selected as the survey subjects. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the general information questionnaire, the voluntary participation Questionnaire, the Existential Anxiety Scale, the Family Support Scale and the Social Support Rating Scale. Potential profile analysis was used to identify the categories of social participation characteristics of colorectal cancer stoma patients, and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the related influencing factors.Results:A total of 240 valid questionnaires were finally retrieved. Among the 240 colorectal cancer patients with stoma, 126 were male and 114 were female, aged 34-75 (55.63 ± 6.52) years. The social participation score of colorectal cancer patients with stoma was (55.84 ± 8.62) points. The results of potential profile analysis showed that the social participation of colorectal cancer patients with stoma could be divided into three potential categories: low participation-inefficient social life type accounted for 38.3% (92/240), medium participation-efficient indoor participation type accounted for 36.3% (87/240), and high participation-efficient outdoor participation type accounted for 25.4% (61/240). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, taking the high participation-efficient outdoor participation type as the reference, age, educational level, presence absence of stoma-related complications, existence of meaningless anxiety, family support, and social support were the influencing factors of low participation-inefficient social life type and medium participation-efficient indoor participation type ( OR values ranged from 0.163 to 1.879, all P<0.05). Conclusions:There are obvious classification characteristics in the social participation of colorectal cancer patients with stoma. Nursing staff can formulate and implement targeted intervention strategies based on different classification characteristics. Starting from the existence of meaningless anxiety in patients, an effective family and social support system should be established to improve their social participation.
