Objective To investigate the value of conventional radiological features and CT radiomics fea-tures to differentiate parotid adenolymphoma from malignant tumor.Methods Radiological data from 128 patients with adenolymphoma and 39 patients with parotid malignancy were collected between December 2018 and October 2023.Radiomics features were extracted to obtain Rad-score and construct a radiomics model.Conventional radiologi-cal features were analyzed to obtain independent predictors,and a conventional radiological model was constructed.Model performance was compared by the DeLong test,and the Rad-score was combined with radiological features to establish a comprehensive model and plot a nomogram.Results Based on CT venous phase images,9 optimal radiomic features were selected.Conventional radiological features were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis and found that shape and degree of enhancement were independent predictors of adenolymphoma and malignant parotid tumors.The CT radiomics model is superior to the conventional radiological model(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of the radiomics model was 0.938(95%CI:0.887～0.988),and the specificity and sensitivity were 0.856 and 0.923,respectively.Conventional radiological features and Rad-score were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis and found that Rad-score and degree of enhancement were independent predictors of adenolymphoma and malignant parotid tumors.The difference between the diagnostic efficacy of the comprehensive model created by the Rad-score combined with the degree of enhancement and the diagnostic efficacy of the radiomics model was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion The CT radiomics model per-formed better than the conventional radiological model in discriminating parotid gland adenolymphoma from malignant tumors.The diagnostic performance of the comprehensive model has improved,aiding in clinical decision-making.

Aim To explore the effect of FTO on adria-mycin resistance in triple-negative breast cancer through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and to reveal the underlying mechanism.Methods The MDA-MB-231/ADR drug-resistant cell line was constructed using a method of gradually increasing adriamycin concentra-tion with intermittent induction.The half-inhibitory concentration(IC50)of adriamycin for MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-231/ADR cells and the expression of FTO were compared.After knocking down FTO in MDA-MB-231/ADR cells,CCK-8,qRT-PCR,colony formation assay,transwell,flow cytometry,and Western blot were used to assess the changes in the IC50 of adri-amycin,cell proliferation,migration,invasion,apopto-sis,and the expression of related proteins.Results FTO was highly expressed in MDA-MB-231/ADR cells.After FTO knockdown,the IC50 value of adriamy-cin in MDA-MB-231/ADR cells decreased,and the a-bilities of proliferation,migration and invasion were weakened.In the FTO knockdown group,the expres-sion levels of Bax,cleaved-caspase3,GSK-3 β proteins and the apoptosis rate significantly increased,while the expression levels of Bcl-2,Wnt5a,β-catenin,c-myc,cyclin D1,and P-gp proteins decreased.Conclusion FTO may inhibit the apoptosis of MDA-MB-231/ADR cells through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,al-ter P-gp expression,and thereby enhance the resistance of MDA-MB-231/ADR cells to adriamycin.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of pregnancy complicated with Beh?et′s disease, so as to improve the diagnosis and treatment of the disease and improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 10 pregnant women with Beh?et′s disease, who were admitted to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from January 2016 to June 2024. The maternal and neonatal outcomes were analyzed.Results:The 10 pregnant women with Beh?et′s disease had a mean age of (31.2±5.3) years (range: 25-41 years). Nine were diagnosed before pregnancy and one was diagnosed during the second trimester of pregnancy. The mean age of disease onset was (20.5±6.1) years (range: 10-34 years). Clinical manifestations included oral ulcers, genital ulcers, fever, uveitis, hematochezia, diarrhea, constipation, and skin rash. Nine of them received medication during pregnancy, while one did not. The disease conditions of five women were active during pregnancy and other five remained stable. In terms of delivery mode, five women had vaginal delivery and five delivered by cesarean section. Nine delivered at term and one had preterm delivery. All neonates survived without adverse outcomes.Conclusions:The management of pregnancy complicated with Beh?et′s disease requires a multidisciplinary team approcach. Individualized decisions regarding medication, timing of delivery, and mode of delivery are essential to achieve optimal maternal and fetal outcomes.

Objective:To prepare mesothelin-loaded paclitaxel (PTX) phase change nanoparticles and evaluate their targeting effect and therapeutic effect on ovarian cancer.Methods:PTX-loaded phase-change nanoparticles PTX-NPs were prepared by the thin-film hydration method, and targeted mesothelin-loaded PTX phase-change nanoparticles Ab-PTX-NPs were prepared by attaching anti-mesothelin antibody to the nanoparticles using the biotin-affinity method. Zeta potential and particle size were determined by applying a zeta potential and a particle size analyzer, and the encapsulation rate and the amount of drug loading of PTX was measured by applying a UV spectrophotometer. Flow cytometry was used to detect the connectivity of anti-mesothelin antibody with PTX-NPs. The phase transition of Ab-PTX-NPs was induced by low-power focused ultrasound, and its ultrasonography imaging was observed; laser scanning confocal microscopy and flow cytometry were used to detect the targeting ability of Ab-PTX-NPs on ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells. The targeting and killing ability of Ab-PTX-NPs on ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells was observed by in vitro targeting assay and apoptosis detection assay. The ovarian cancer model of BALB/c nude mice was constructed to observe the distribution of Ab-PTX-NPs in vivo as well as the effects on blood biochemistry and important organs of nude mice. Results:Ab-PTX-NPs were successfully prepared with a zeta potential of -(8.37±2.71) mV, a diameter of (690.46±28.75) nm, an encapsulation rate of (88.2±4.4)% for PTX, a drug loading capacity of (27.3±0.9)%, and a linkage rate of (94.9±2.8)% between anti-mesothelin antibody and PTX-NPs. Low-intensity focused ultrasound could successfully induce phase transition of Ab-PTX-NPs to realize ultrasonography imaging, and 6 W was the optimal excitation power for low-intensity focused ultrasound. Ab-PTX-NPs showed excellent targeting and killing ability to SKOV3 cells, and the apoptosis and necrosis rate of SKOV3 cells in the Ab-PTX-NPs group reached 79.6%. In vivo imaging showed that the fluorescence intensity at the tumor site of nude mice in the Ab-PTX-NPs group was significantly higher than that in the PTX-NPs group. Biosafety assay showed that 15 d after Ab-PTX-NPs administration, the serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, creatine kinase, low-density lipoprotein, blood creatinine, and urea nitrogen concentrations of nude mice were (174.163±20.596)U/L, (33.297±2.573)U/L, (1 959.978±72.212)U/L, (22.033±5.030)μmol/L, (0.393±0.058)mmol/L, and (26.405±4.957)mmol/L, which were not significantly different from those of the phosphate buffer solution (PBS) group, the NPs group, and the PTX-NPs group. The organs such as the heart, the liver, the spleen, the lungs and the kidneys remained intact, and what was seen by the naked eye and microscope was similar with those of the PBS group, NPs group and PTX-NPs group. Conclusion:Ab-PTX-NPs were successfully prepared, which had good ovarian cancer targeting ability and killing effect and effectively reduced the toxicity of PTX.

Objective To analyze the satisfaction of medical experience of outpatients in multi-campus of a large tertiary public hospital.Methods From January to March 2024,a questionnaire on outpatient satisfaction was sent to the outpatient department of Peking University First Hospital daily based on the Questionnaire Star platform to analyze the outpatient satisfaction rate and satisfaction score of medical services,and the influencing factors of outpatient satisfaction were explored by logistic regression analysis.Results Among the respondents,64.0％expressed high levels of satisfaction while 26.1％reported being relatively satisfied.Waiting time and consultation time play an important role.The diagnosis,treatment and health education and schedule of follow-up visits may affect the outpatient experience.Outpatient payment,outpatient environment,outpatient perceived complaints and timely resolution of dissatisfaction all could affect outpatient satisfaction.Conclusion The overall satisfaction of outpatients was high,and patient satisfaction of outpatient medical services in multi-campuses was consistent.On the premise of ensuring the quality of medical care,hospitals should actively carry out individualized health education,simplify the medical process,extend the outpatient service,and further improved the sense of gain of outpatients.

Ultrasound technology has been applied in the biomedical field,particularly in drug delivery and cell processing.In this study,the effects of different ultrasound power levels(40 W to 100 W)and time durations(1 min,5 min,or 5 min discontinuously)on the morphology of human red blood cells(hRBCs)membranes were systematically investigated using cryo-electron tomography(Cryo-ET).The hRBCs membranes were firstly subjected to ultrasound at power levels of 40 W and 60 W for 5 min each.Cryo-ET observations revealed minimal morphological changes in the hRBCs membranes following the 40 W treatment,with the membrane structure remaining relatively intact and only minor undulations appearing on the membrane surface.These undulations might result from the mild mechanical stress induced by ultrasound,which was insufficient to disrupt the overall membrane structure.At power of 60 W,the hRBCs membranes largely preserved their structural integrity.When the ultrasonic power was increased to 80 W,the structural damage to the hRBCs membranes became more severe.Cryo-ET images showed irregular ruptures and larger pores on the membrane surface,indicating a significant compromise in membrane integrity.At ultrasound power of 100 W,the hRBCs membranes were completely disrupted,resulting in the formation of numerous membrane fragments,and a complete loss of membrane continuity.To further explore the effects of ultrasound duration on erythrocyte membrane morphology,the ultrasonic power was fixed at 100 W and the impacts of varying treatment durations(1 min,5 min,and intermittent ultrasound)on the membrane structure were systematically investigated.After 1 min of ultrasonic treatment,Cryo-ET images showed minimal changes in erythrocyte membrane morphology.Although some small pores and undulations appeared on the membrane surface,the overall structure remained relatively intact.As the ultrasound duration extended to 5 min,the degree of membrane damage increased significantly.Cryo-ET images revealed extensive rupture and detachment of the membrane,with continuity being severely compromised.As to treatment alternating 1 min of ultrasound with 1 min of rest,for a total of 5 min of ultrasound exposure,Cryo-ET observations showed the integrity of the membrane-cytoskeleton attachment remained.Under intermittent ultrasound treatment,although some pores and ruptures were observed on the membrane surface,the overall structure remained more intact compared to continuous ultrasonic treatment.This preservation might be due to the intermittent treatment providing buffer periods for the membrane,allowing partial recovery after mechanical stress,thereby reducing the cumulative damage caused by continuous ultrasound.This work provided experimental basis for further understanding of mechanism of ultrasound induced change of cell membrane and cytoskeleton.
