Objective To study the photodynamic performance and the killing effect of photodynamic therapy on lung cancer of novel chlorin compounds 2-（4-（5,15,20-triphenyl-7H,8H-porphyrin-10-yl） phenoxy） acetic acid（D1）and 4-（4-（5,15,20-triphenyl-7H,8H-porphyrin-10-yl） phenoxy） butanoic acid （D2）. Methods The ultraviolet visible absorption spectrum and fluorescence spectrum of D1 and D2 were determined. The singlet oxygen generation capacity of D1 and D2 was measured by using DPBF as singlet oxygen capture agent. Fluorescence assay was used to detect the cellular phagocytosis rate of the compounds in A549 cells, and MTT assay was used to detect their dark toxicity and phototoxicity. A nude mouse model of lung cancer was established to investigate the antitumor activity of the compounds mediated photodynamic action in vivo, and the blood concentration of D2 in nude mice, its distribution in tumor tissue and skin tissue were further detected. Results D1 and D2 had strong absorption at 652 nm with the best excitation wavelength at 429 nm and 427 nm, and the optimal emission wavelength was at about 659 nm. They also had a higher singlet oxygen generation rate than the control drug m-THPC. D1 and D2 had no dark toxicity at concentrations below 10 μmol/L, and could be ingested by A549 cells, basically reaching saturation in 18~24 hours. After laser irradiation at 650 nm wavelength, D1 and D2 showed significant antitumor activity in vivo and in vitro （P<0.01）. However, D2 could selectively accumulate in tumor tissues after administration, and the optimal treatment time was less than 30 min after administration. Conclusion D2 had excellent photodynamic antitumor activity and could selectively aggregate in tumor tissues, which had the potential to be a candidate drug for photosensitizer and treatment of lung cancer with independent intellectual property rights, and was worth further research.

Objective This study reports on the obligatory parasitism of water mites Arrenurus sp. on Anopheles messeae at the Manzhouli Port, Inner Mongolia, China. Methods Duing July 2024, a survey on the mosquito diversity was conducted at the Manzhouli Port. Captured mosquitoes and their ectoparasites were identified to species level. Results A total of 1840 adult mosquitoes were collected, representing species from three genera: Culex(Cx. modestus, Cx. pipiens pallens), Aedes(Ae. dorsalis, Ae. flavidorsalis, Ae. flavescens), and Anopheles (An. messeae). Among all the mosqutioes specimens,3 out of 150 captured An. messeae were found to carry ectoparasitic mites, with number of 2,4,27 mites separately. Morphological and molecular identification reached the same result as water mites(Hydrachnidiae, Hydracrina). COI gene sequence showed 94% similarity with the closest species Arrenurus truncatellus. Conlusions Literature review suggests water mites are host-specific parasitism of mosquito species and herein with the first record of Arrenurus sp. parasiting on An. Messeae in the most high-latitude region globally.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the toxicity and safety of novel Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion strain protein derivatives,referred to as B/R strain active proteins.In cellular experiments,RAW264.7 cells were treated with each vaccine preparation,and apoptosis rates were measured.In subsequent animal experiments,C57BL/6 mice were immunized via subcutaneous injection,and their survival and body weight changes were monitored and recorded at 2,4,8,12,and 16 weeks.The lungs and spleens were harvested to calculate organ coefficients,and pathological examinations were conducted.At the eighth week of immunization,the mice were infected with high concentrations of BCG,and pathological changes in the lungs and spleens were observed 4 weeks post-infection.The apoptosis rate at 6 hours was significantly higher in the experimental group than the PBS group(P<0.05).At 12 and 24 hours,the apoptosis rate in the experimental group remained higher than that in the PBS group,although this difference was not statistically significant.After immunization,mice in all four groups exhibited normal growth patterns,as indicated by stable body weight changes.At 4 and 12 weeks post-immunization,the lung coefficients in the protein group were significantly higher than those in the PBS group at the same time points.Additionally,the lung coefficients in the BCG group were significantly elevated across all time periods(P<0.05).The spleen coefficients in the protein and BCG groups were significantly higher than those in the PBS group at 2,4,8,12,and 16 weeks,whereas the ICD B/R group showed higher spleen coefficients than the PBS group only at week 8(P<0.05).Pathological examination revealed normal lung and spleen tissues in the PBS group.However,during the 2-8 weeks immunization period,lung and spleen tissues in all experimental groups exhibited varying degrees of damage,which gradually diminished by 12-16 weeks.Notably,no tuberculosis nodules were observed in any experimental group.After infection with high concentrations of BCG,no overt pathological changes were observed on the surfaces of the lungs and spleens in any group.Microscopic examination revealed less severe pathological changes in the lungs and spleens of mice in the experimental groups than the PBS group.Furthermore,no statistically significant differences were observed between the protein group and the BCG group.Our findings suggested that the B/R strain active proteins'toxicity and safety profiles were comparable to those of BCG,and showed immunoprotective effects.This study provides an experimental foundation for the development of a novel tuberculosis vaccine.

Objective To investigate the application effect of cold snare endoscopic mucosal resection(CS-EMR)in the treatment of 6 to 9 mm colorectal small polyps.Methods A total of 82 patients with small colonic polyps in our hospital from March 2022 to August 2023 were collected and divided into the observation group(45 cases received CS-EMR)and the control group[37 cases received hot snare endoscopic mucosal resection(HS-EMR)]according to different surgical methods.The clinical efficacy,polyp resection status,complete polyp resection rate,perioperative indicators and occurrence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results Follow-up for 1 month after operation,the effective rate of treatment in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the polyp resection status or perioperative indicators between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the complete polyp resection rates of patients with different pathological types or total complete resection rate between the two groups(P>0.05).The incidence of delayed bleeding and endoscopic hemostasis rate in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The complete resection rate of 6～9 mm colorectal polyps through CS-EMR was comparable to that of HS-EMR,and CS-EMR has a better efficacy and lower risk of perioperative bleeding,along with higher safety.

Colorectal cancer stands as a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality globally,with liver metastases being a significant determinant of patient prognosis.Conventional diagnostic methods,includ-ing imaging studies and biomarker testing,frequently exhibit inadequate sensitivity and specificity,underscoring the necessity for more advanced technologies.Recent advancements in genomics,transcriptomics,proteomics,me-tabolomics,and epigenomics have revolutionized our understanding of the biological mechanisms driving colorectal cancer.These methodologies enable comprehensive analyses of genetic mutations,gene expression profiles,protein modifications,and metabolic reprogramming,all of which are pivotal to the metastatic process.This article high-lights the advanced capabilities of artificial intelligence(AI)technologies in processing complex multi-omics data,thereby enhancing diagnostic accuracy and supporting personalized treatment strategies.It also addresses the challenges AI encounters in multi-omics analyses,such as ensuring data quality,improving model interpretability,and facilitating clinical translation.Additionally,it explores the potential integration of emerging technologies like single-cell sequencing and spatial omics into large-scale,multicenter studies to further enhance the clinical utility of these tools.

Objective:To explore the effects of adenosine on learning and memory in rats thromboembolic stroke(TS)and its mechanism based on PI3K/Akt/CREB signaling pathway.Methods:36 male SD rats were randomly di-vided into sham group(Sham),TS group,TS+adenosine(TS+Ade)group and TS+adenosine+Akt inhibitor(TS+Ade+MK-2206)group.Preparation of rat TS model used autologous thrombus intravascular formation method.Mor-ris water maze(MWM)test was used to observe the learning and memory ability of rats.The morphological changes of hippocampal neurons were observed by Nissl staining.The expression of glutamate transporter 1(GLT-1)and glial fi-brillary acidic protein(GFAP)in CA1 region was determined by immunofluorescence.The protein expressions of PI3K,p-PI3K,Akt,p-Akt,CREB and p-CREB were determined by Western blot.Results:Through the rat TS mod-el,adenosine was able to improve the learning and memory ability,improve the hippocampal neuron cell morphological abpormality and vacuolation,nucleolar condensation and other phenomena in rats.Immunofluorescence results showed that GLT-1 and GFAP were co-localized,and adenosine could significantly enhance the fluorescence intensity of GFAP and GLT-1.Western blot results showed that adenosine can enhance the expression of p-PI3K,p-Akt,and p-CREB proteins,but the use of Akt inhibitors can to some extent inhibit the phosphorylation of PI3K,Akt,and CREB.Conclusion:Adenosine may enhance the expression of GLT-1 in astrocytes and increase the clearance of glutamate through activation of PI3K/Akt/CREB signaling pathway,thereby reducing the excitotoxicity and improving recognition and memory function.However,this effect is partially blocked by Akt inhibitors.

Objective To explore the application and safety of neuroendoscopy in the surgical removal of intracranial extensive multicompartmental epidermoid cysts.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 15 patients with intracranial extensive multicompartmental epidermoid cysts treated in the Neurosurgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from August 2017 to December 2021.Among these patients,13 patients underwent surgery with suboccipital retrosigmoid approach,and 2 patients received surgery with a combination of the suboccipital retrosigmoid and infratemporal approaches.The surgical efficacy and incidence of complications of patients were observed.The patients were followed up to observe the recovery of symptoms and head MRI diffusion imaging.Results Complete tumor resection was achieved in 12 cases(80.0%),near-total resection in 2 cases(13.3%),and partial resection in 1 case(6.7%).Postoperative complications included diplopia in 2 cases,ipsilateral mydriasis in 1 case,aseptic meningitis in 1 case,and subcutaneous fluid accumulation in the surgical area in 1 case.The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 58 months,with an average of(30.5±16.0)months.At the last follow-up,no tumor recurrence was observed in the 12 patients who underwent complete resection,no significant tumor growth was noted in the 2 patients with near-total resection and the 1 patient with partial resection.Conclusion Neuroendoscopic-assisted microscopy technology can improve the complete resection rate of intracranial extensive multicompartmental epidermoid cysts.Retrograde third ventriculostomy via suboccipital retrosigmoid approach is safe and feasible.

AIM:To investigate whether total alkaloids of Cocculus orbiculatus(COTA)attenuate ulcerative colitis(UC)in mice via PINK1/parkin mitophagy pathway.METHODS:Sixty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal control group,model group,positive drug mesalazine group,and low-,medium-and high-dose(0.162,0.324 and 0.486 g/kg)COTA groups,with 10 mice in each group.Except for normal control group,the mice in all groups were given free access to 3%dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)solution for 7 consecutive days to establish a UC model in mice,and were then treated with COTA or mesalazine via oral gavage.The general condition of the mice was observed,and the colon length and disease activity index(DAI)score were determined.Colon histopathological damage was observed by HE staining.The serum levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were detected by ELISA.The pro-tein levels of PINK1,parkin,microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3),P62 and beclin-1 in colon tissues were determined by Western blot.The protein expression of LC3 and parkin was detected by immunofluorescence.RE-SULTS:Compared with normal control group,the mice in model group showed varying degrees of soft stools or bloody stools,decreased body weight(P<0.05),increased DAI score,shortened colon length(P<0.05),and obvious pathologi-cal damage in the colon tissue.The serum levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α were elevated(P<0.05).The protein levels of parkin,PINK1,LC3-II and beclin-1 were significantly decreased(P<0.05),while P62 protein expression was in-creased(P<0.05).Immunofluorescence showed a small number of autophagosomes in the colon tissue.In contrast,com-pared with model group,the mice in total alkaloids of Cocculus orbiculatus groups exhibited increased body weight(P<0.05),decreased DAI score,increased colon length(P<0.05),and reduced levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α(P<0.05).The protein levels of parkin,PINK1,LC3 and beclin-1 were elevated(P<0.05),while P62 expression was re-duced(P<0.05),with numerous autophagosomes visible in the colon tissue via immunofluorescence.CONCLUSION:Total alkaloids of Cocculus orbiculatus can enhance the expression of mitophagy-related proteins PINK1,parkin,LC3 and beclin-1,activate mitophagy,and reduce the expression of inflammatory factors,thereby attenuating the inflammatory re-sponse in the colon mucosa of DSS-induced UC mice.
