Objective:To investigate the relationship between oxidative stress-related genes and pros-tate cancer(PCa)from a multi-omics perspective using summary-data-based Mendelian randomization(SMR),colocalization analysis,and cellular experiments.Methods:Summary-level data on DNA methylation,gene expression,and circulating proteins were obtained and filtered.The PRACTICAL con-sortium was used as the discovery cohort,with the deCODE database serving as the validation cohort.SMR analysis and heterogeneity in dependent instruments(HEIDI)tests were conducted to assess the association and heterogeneity between oxidative stress-related genes and PCa.Colocalization analysis was performed to determine whether oxidative stress-related genes and PCa shared common causal variants.Final-ly,CCK-8 assays,wound healing assays,and Transwell invasion assays and Western blotting,were con-ducted to examine the effects of oxidative stress-related genes on the biological behavior of the PCa cell line C4-2.Results:Multi-omics analysis identified SCP2 as significantly associated with increased PCa risk across gene methylation,gene expression,and circulating protein levels.GSTP1 showed significant associations at the methylation and protein levels,while LPO was associated at the protein level.At the methylation level,SCP2 sites cg00581603(OR=1.11,95％CI:1.05-1.17)and cg13078931(OR=1.12,95％CI:1.05-1.18)were identified as pathogenic.Among the four methylation sites in GSTP1,only cg05244766(OR=0.89,95％CI:0.84-0.95)was considered protective.At the gene expression level,SCP2(OR=1.05,95％CI:1.02-1.07)was also found to be a pathogenic factor.At the circu-lating protein level,SCP2(OR=2.10,95％CI:1.34-3.29)showed a consistent pathogenic trend.In addition,GSTP1(OR=1.16,95％CI:1.07-1.25)and LPO(OR=1.12,95％CI:1.05-1.19)were significantly associated with increased PCa risk.Further functional assays demonstrated that knock-down of SCP2 significantly reduced the oncogenic phenotype of prostate cancer cells.Conclusion:Through integrated multi-omics analysis and experimental validation,this study confirmed a significant as-sociation between SCP2 and increased PCa risk.These findings enhance our understanding of PCa patho-genesis and provide new potential targets and therapeutic directions for PCa treatment.

Acupuncture-moxibustion therapy has been known to ameliorate the symptoms of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), although its mechanism remains unclear. The paper reviews the articles on acupuncture-moxibustion therapy for FGIDs in recent 5 years, and it is revealed that acupuncture-moxibustion therapy can alleviate FGIDs symptoms through regulating gastrointestinal motility, modulating visceral hypersensitivity, improving the impaired gastric-duodenal mucosal barrier and inflammation, balancing intestinal microbiota, and adjusting the gut-brain axis. Currently, the molecular mechanism of acupuncture-moxibustion therapy remains unknown for FGIDs, the specific disease target is not identified, and the interaction among various molecules is not elucidated adequately. The researches in the future should employ advanced technologies and methodologies to comprehensively and deeply explore and clarify the mechanism of acupuncture- moxibustion therapy for FGIDs.

Objective:To explore the effects of the deep Theta burst stimulation (dTBS) applied to the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on depressive symptoms and executive functions in patients with depression.Methods:The clinical data of a total of 98 patients with depression who were outpatients and inpatients in the Mental Health Center of the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from June 2023 to October 2024 were prospectively collected, including 37 males and 61 females, aged 18-65 (37.4±13.3) years. Patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups: an active dTBS+drug therapy group (active stimulation group, n=33), a sham dTBS+drug therapy group (sham stimulation group, n=32), and a drug therapy group ( n=33). A shielding cover was added over the sham dTBS coil to increase the distance between the coil and the cortical surface, thereby achieving the sham stimulation effect. During each treatment, both active and sham dTBS were first applied by 1, 200 pulses of intermittent dTBS (diTBS) to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, followed by 600 pulses of continuous dTBS (dcTBS) to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Before treatment and two weeks after treatment, the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and 17-Item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD 17) were used to evaluate patients′ depression and anxiety, and the Symbol Digit Coding Test of the Chinese Brief Cognitive Test (C-BCT) was used to assess the executive functions. The 32-item Hypomania Checklist (HCL-32) as well as the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) were used to evaluate the risk of treatment-emergent mania. The primary outcomes included reduction rate in HAMD 17 and HAMA scores, as well as changes in the Symbol Digit Coding Test of the C-BCT. Secondary outcomes encompassed HAMD 17 treatment response rate, adverse events, and the risk of treatment-emergent mania. The differences in efficacy between the three groups were compared using one-way ANOVA and LSD post-hoc analysis (reduction rate in HAMD 17 scores, reduction rate in HAMA scores, and changes in the Symbol Digit Coding Test of the C-BCT). Results:At the end of the 2nd week of the treatment, the HAMD 17 reduction rate in the active stimulation group was higher than the sham stimulation group and the drug therapy group, with a significant difference (59.4 (46.9, 80.2) % vs 47.6 (31.2, 58.3) %, H=18.95, P=0.006; 59.4 (46.9, 80.2) % vs 35.5 (20.0, 50.0) %, H=31.10, P<0.001). The HAMA reduction rate in the active stimulation group and the sham stimulation group were higher than the drug therapy group, with a significant difference (52.6 (43.5, 65.7) % vs 2.1 (21.1, 58.8) %, H=21.31, P=0.002; 52.9 (41.7, 62.5) % vs 32.1 (21.1, 58.8) %, H=14.4, P=0.037). The changes in the symbol digit coding test of the C-BCT in the active stimulation group were significantly higher than the sham stimulation group and the drug therapy group (6.3±2.1 scores vs 2.9±3.2 scores, F=5.02, P=0.011; 6.3±2.1 scores vs 2.8±3.1 scores, F=5.02, P=0.009). The incidence rate of adverse events in the active stimulation group was 12.1% (4/33) and 3.1% (1/32) in the sham stimulation group, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups (χ 2=0.17, P=0.355). Conclusion:Bilateral dTBS stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex combined with drug therapy can improve depressive symptoms and executive functions, such as information processing speed, attention and working memory.

Neurocognitive dysfunction has been identified in major depressive disorder (MDD), and can potentially impair an individual′s psychosocial functioning. Consequently, the relationship between neurocognition and psychosocial functioning of MDD has gradually become one of the hot spots in recent years. Studying the association can help explore the biological basis of psychosocial functioning in depression, allows for underpinnings, targeted clinical interventions, and ultimately achieves true rehabilitation. This article summarises studies on the specific relationships between subfields of neurocognitive and psychosocial function in MDD, and discusses potential future research directions.

Objective:To investigate the anatomy of lateral maxillocervical boot-shaped perforator fasciocutaneous flap and its clinical effect on repairing soft tissue defect of zygomatic-temporal region.Methods:(1)From December 2017 to December 2020, five fresh adult cadaver specimens were infused with gelatin lead oxidate and underwent one-time arteriography.The X-ray image was imported into Mimics 17.0 software, divided and colored based on the head and face anatomy, and the distribution and anastomosis of the arteries involved in the lateral maxillocervical boot-shaped perforator fasciocutaneous flap were observed.The head and neck samples of another 5 (10 sides) fresh adult cadavers were infused with red latex artery to establish the surgical model, and then dissected layer by layer to investigate the blood supply and the source of perforating artery of this flap.(2) The patients with zygomatic-temporal lesions were treated in the Department of Plastic Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University.They were treated with the lateral maxillocervical boot-shaped perforator fasciocutaneous flap to repair the wound left after lesion resection. The survival of the flap and the healing of the incision were observed after surgery and the appearance and sensation of donor and recipient sites as well as tumor recurrence were followed up.Results:(1) The pedicle of the lateral maxillocervical boot-shaped perforator fasciocutaneous flap is mainly nourished by the superficial temporal artery and its perforator.The average diameter of the maximum three perforations is (0.44±0.04) mm, (0.90±0.08) mm, (0.73±0.05) mm.The fascial vascular network and subdermal vascular network formed by perforating arteries from superficial temporal artery and branching arteries from facial artery at different layers are the anatomical basis for ensuring blood supply of lateral maxillocervical boot-shaped perforator fasciocutaneous flap. (2) A total of 12 patients with zygomatic-temporal lesions were treated clinically, including 8 males and 4 females aged 42-79 years, including 2 cases of senile sebaceous keratosis, 3 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 1 case of skin ulcer and 6 cases of basal cell carcinoma. The range of defect after resection of the lesions was 4 cm×3 cm-9 cm×8 cm. The flap area was 5 cm×3 cm-11 cm×9 cm, the flap pedicle width was 2-3 cm, length was 2-4 cm, After surgery, the blood supply of the flap was good without necrosis, the wound were covered by first treatment. After 6-18 months of follow-up, the donor and recipient areas presented natural appearance, no swelling, no paresthesia and facial paralysis, and no recurrence of cancer.Conclusions:The lateral maxillocervical boot-shaped perforator fasciocutaneous flap pedicled with perforating branch of superficial temporal artery has reliable blood supply. Using this flap to repair large soft tissue defects in zygomatic-temporal region has the advantages of simple operation, similar color and texture, and good appearance.
