Objective:To investigate the pathways involved in bisphenol S(BPS)and bisphenol F(BPF)induced male reproductive injury by bioinformatics methods and experimental verification.Methods:Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to screen the genes related to male reproductive system diseases associated with BPF and BPS from the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database(CTD).Functional enrichment using Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis were performed to predict potential signaling pathways and key genes.Cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)method was used to assess the cell viability in various groups treated with different concentrations of BPS and BPF(1×10-3,1×10-2,1×10-1,1×100,1×101,and 1×102 μmol·L-1).TM3 cells were divided into control group(0.1％DMSO),different doses of BPS groups,and different doses of BPF groups.The cells were treated with 20,40,and 80 μmol·L-1 of BPS and BPF for 72 h,respectively.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)and Western blotting method were used to detect the expression levels of key genes mRNA and proteins in various groups.Results:The bioinformatics analysis results revealed that 507 and 447 male systemic disease genes related to BPS and BPF were screened by CTD,respectively.The GO enrichment analysis results showed that the selected genes were primarily enriched in biological processes(BP)such as reproductive system development and reproductive structure development.The KEGG pathway analysis results indicated that these genes were significantly enriched in signaling pathways such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/AKT),hypoxia-inducible factor-1(HIF-1),and cellular senescence(P＜0.001).The CCK-8 method results showed that compared with control group,the cell viabilities in 1× 102 μmol·L-1 BPF and BPS groups were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),while the viabilities of TM3 cells in other groups had no significant changes(P＞0.05).After BPS treatment,compared with control group,the expression levels of PI3K,AKT,hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α),and CREB-binding protein(CBP)mRNA in low,medium,and high doses of BPS groups were decreased(P＜0.05),the expression levels of PI3K protein were decreased(P＜0.05),the expression levels of B-cell lymphoma-2-associated X protein(Bax)protein were increased(P＜0.05),and the expression levels of serine protease inhibitor clade B,member 10(SERPINB10)mRNA were increased(P＜0.01);the expression levels of Bax and intraflagellar transport 80 homolog(IFT80)mRNA in the cells in medium and high doses of BPS groups were increased(P＜0.05);the expression levels of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)mRNA and protein in low and high doses of BPS groups were decreased(P＜0.05);the expression levels of additional sex combs like 2(ASXL2)mRNA in low and medium doses of BPS groups were decreased(P＜0.01).After BPF treatment,compared with control group,the expression levels of Bcl-2,HIF-1α,and structural maintenance of chromosomes protein 1B(SMC1B)mRNA in low,medium,and high doses of BPF groups were decreased(P＜0.05),and the expression levels of IFT80 mRNA(P＜0.01)and Bax protein(P＜0.01)were increased;the expression levels of PI3K,AKT,and ring finger protein 130(RNF130)mRNA in low and high doses of BPF groups were decreased(P＜0.05);the expression level of CBP mRNA in medium dose of BPF group was decreased(P＜0.05),while the expression level of RNF130 mRNA was increased(P＜0.05);the expression levels of PI3K and Bcl-2 proteins in high dose of BPF group were decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:BPF and BPS may cause cell cytotoxicity and impair male reproductive health through PI3K/AKT and HIF-1 signaling pathways.RNF130 and SMC1B may be important targets for their induction of male reproductive toxicity.

Background and purpose:Limbs soft tissue sarcoma(STS)is a common malignant tumor,and surgical resection is the main treatment method for it.The concept of barrier made us realize the blocking effect of natural barrier on STS,and we aimed to search for tissues that can act as barrier,and to perform complete resection of surgical margins around the tissue barrier.This study aimed to investigate the feasibility,safety and prognosis of barrier resection in the treatment of limbs STS.Methods:From December 2013 to September 2016,data of 72 patients who underwent barrier resection of STS of extremities in department of oncosurgery,Minhang Branch,Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were retrospectively analyzed,and the resection margin was sampled.All 72 patients underwent preoperative magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)or computed tomography(CT)design,and the physiological barrier or at least 3 cm distance was found outward from the anatomical location of the tumor.And en bloc excision was performed outside this barrier or at a distance of 3 cm.The influence of postoperative pathological margin,musculoskeletal tumor society(MSTS)score and postoperative complications on the patients were analyzed.The 1-and 3-year locoregional recurrence-free survival(LRFS)rates and sarcoma-specific survival(SSS)rates were evaluated,and the influencing factors were analyzed.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center(number:1212117-12&1212117-12-1301).Results:All patients had negative margins.The 1-and 3-year LRFS rates were 98.2%and 93.3%,respectively.The 1-and 3-year SSS rates were 98.4%and 94.2%,respectively.The mean MSTS scores were 28.3 preoperatively and 25.5 postoperatively.Surgical complications were grade 1 to 2 in 20 cases and grade 3 in 1 case,and there were no grade 4 to 5 complications.Conclusion:Based on the combination of clinical,imaging and pathology data,barrier resection,including tumor resection and functional reconstruction,can be applied to the surgical treatment of STS,with good feasibility and safety,reliable margin and satisfactory local control.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of anterograde percutaneous screw fixation under robot navigation in the treatment of acetabular anterior column fractures.Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 7 cases of anterior acetabular column fractures from April 2021 to January 2023.The traction reduction was conducted by using pelvic"double reverse"traction table,the orthopedic robot-assisted design was carried out to plan the screw entry point and direction,and the antegrade channel cannulated screw was used for internal fixation.Results The operation time was 60-95 min(mean,78 min).The intraoperative blood loss was 5-20 ml(mean,8.6 ml).The number of fluoroscopy was7-11(mean,8.7).The guide needle was unadjusted in 3 cases and adjusted for 1-2 times in 4 cases(once in 2 cases and twice in 2 cases).The actual path deviated from the planned by 0.65-1.50 mm(mean,0.98±0.30 mm).The excellent and good rate of screw position was 100%.X-ray and CT examinations were performed at 48 h after the operation.According to the Matta reduction standard,anatomical reduction was achieved in 6 cases and satisfactory reduction in 1 case.All the 7 cases were followed up for 6-28 months(mean,15 months).At the last follow-up,the Harris score of the hip joint was85-96 points(mean,91.6 points)and the pain of visual analogue scale(VAS)was0.There were no complications such as infection,loosening of internal fixation,or neurological dysfunction.Conclusion Anterograde percutaneous screw fixation under robot navigation in the treatment of acetabular anterior column fractures is safe,effective,and satisfactory.

Objective To explore the learning curve of Bikini incision direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty(Bikini-THA).Methods Clinical data of 80 cases of Bikini-THA initially completed by an operator skilled in posterolateral approach and direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty from March 2020 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed,and the learning curve was observed by scatter plots of operative time and intraoperative bleeding.They were divided into groups A to D according to the order of surgery,with 20 cases in each group.The operative time,intraoperative bleeding,acetabular abduction angle,anteversion angle,angle between stem and femoral axis,postoperative hip Harris score and complications were compared among the 4 groups.Results After about 40 cases,the decreasing trend of operative time and intraoperative bleeding slowed down and stabilized.The operative time and intraoperative bleeding in the 4 groups were group A＞group B＞groups C and D(P＜0.05),and the differences between the group C and group D were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The acetabular prosthesis was well-positioned in the 4 groups(abduction angle of 30°-50°,anteversion angle of 5°-25°).The femoral prosthesis center fixation rate(angle between stem and femoral axis ≤3°)was group A＜groups C and D(P=0.003,0.003).The differences in the Harris scores of the hip joints at 2 weeks,1 month,3 months,and 12 months postoperatively of the 4 groups were not statistically significant(P＞0.05),and the efficacy evaluations of the hip joints at 12 months postoperatively were all excellent.There were 5 cases of complications in the group A(2 cases of greater trochanter fracture and 3 cases of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury),3 cases of complications in the group B(1 case of greater trochanteric fracture,1 case of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury,and 1 case of incision infection),1 case of complications in the group C(lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury),and no complications in the group D.The follow-up period lasted for 12-26 months,with a mean of(19.4±4.7)months.There were no complications such as dislocation or loosening of the prosthesis.Conclusion The Bikini-THA learning curve was approximately 40 cases.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS) in the perioperative period of congenital choledochal cysts in children.Methods:This is a multicenter prospective randomized controlled study. The clinical data of 273 pediatric congenital choledochal cysts(CCC) patients who underwent surgery at 14 medical centers with complete follow-up data were collected through the medical data analysis platform. Among them, 123 cases in ERAS group were managed perioperatively in strict accordance with ERAS mode, and 150 cases in conventional group were managed according to traditional mode. The length of hospital stay,time to first farting, time to complete feeding, the incidence of complications, cost and readmission rate within 30 days,stress indexes and liver function were compared between the two groups.Results:Compared with the conventional group, median time to start farting (2.0 d vs. 3.0 d, P<0.001), median time to complete feeding (5.0 d vs. 7.0 d, P<0.001), median postoperative hospitalization time (6.0 d vs. 9.0 d, P<0.001),the median total length of stay(13.0 d vs. 15.0 d, P<0.001) were shorter,the median hospitalization cost (37,000 yuan vs.43,000 yuan P<0.001) was lower, and stress indexes recovered quickly. The incidence of postoperative hospital stay and readimission rate within 30 d were not statistically different between the two groups. Conclusion:It is safe and feasible to implement ERAS for children with CCC in the perioperative period, which can reduce stress response, speed up recovery,and save medical costs.

Objective To explore the interventional effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on tardive dyskinesia (TD) in schizophrenic patients. Methods A total of 105 schizophrenic patients were selected as subjects and randomly divided into 1 Hz treatment group, 10 Hz treatment group and control group, with 35 patients in each group. All three groups received rTMS treatment for 12 weeks. The Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) scores were compared among the three groups. Physiological indicators such as electrocardiogram, blood routine, blood biochemistry and hormone levels were monitored. Results After treatment, the total AIMS scores in the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups were significantly lower than before treatment, and those in the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The reduction rates of AIMS scores in the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups were 68.6% and 65.7%, respectively, which were significantly higher than the 22.9% in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the total SANS and PANSS scores in the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups were significantly lower than before treatment, and those in the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the total AIMS score, efficacy and total PANSS score between the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the total TESS scores and physiological indicators among the three groups before and after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion Both 1 Hz and 10 Hz rTMS can effectively improve TD in schizophrenic patients with good safety and have no significant side effects or physiological damage.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have ushered in a new era of tumor treatment; however, immunotherapy-related adverse events are critical issues that restrict the clinical application of ICIs and have attracted wide attention. The liver is one of the target organs that is easily affected. With the progress in research, scholars have found that besides hepatocytes, intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts can also be attacked by the immune system, leading to the disease known as immune-related cholangitis. This article reviews the research advances in ICI-related cholangitis by summarizing related articles, in order to preliminarily reveal its clinical, pathological, and imaging features and provide clues for early identification, standard treatment, and subsequent research.

Polymyxin B, which is a last-line antibiotic for extensively drug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections, became available in China in Dec. 2017. As dose adjustments are based solely on clinical experience of risk toxicity, treatment failure, and emergence of resistance, there is an urgent clinical need to perform therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) to optimize the use of polymyxin B. It is thus necessary to standardize operating procedures to ensure the accuracy of TDM and provide evidence for their rational use. We report a consensus on TDM guidelines for polymyxin B, as endorsed by the Infection and Chemotherapy Committee of the Shanghai Medical Association and the Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Committee of the Chinese Pharmacological Society. The consensus panel was composed of clinicians, pharmacists, and microbiologists from different provinces in China and Australia who made recommendations regarding target concentrations, sample collection, reporting, and explanation of TDM results. The guidelines provide the first-ever consensus on conducting TDM of polymyxin B, and are intended to guide optimal clinical use.

Objective:To assess the changes of selenium nutrition of school-age children in Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) areas of Linzhou County, Lhasa City and Xietongmen County, Shigatse City in Tibet Autonomous Region (referred to as Tibet), and provide a scientific basis for evaluating the effectiveness of prevention and control measures.Methods:According to the historical condition of KBD, a total of 344 children's hair samples were collected to determine the content of selenium in Kazi (KBD area) and Jiangxia townships (non-KBD area) of Linzhou County in 2013 and 2021, Renqinze (KBD area) and Tongmen townships (non-KBD area) of Xietongmen County in 2015 and 2021.Results:Compared to 2013/2015, in 2021, the hair selenium level of children in the four townships increased ( P < 0.001). The selenium nutritional level of more than 90% of the children reached medium or above (hair selenium > 0.25 μg/g) in 2021. The hair selenium levels of girls in the two KBD areas (Kazi and Renqinze townships) were lower than those of boys ( Z = - 2.83, - 2.83, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The selenium nutrition level of school-age children in KBD areas in Linzhou and Xietongmen counties has increased rapidly in recent years. However, the selenium nutrition level of girls is significantly lower than that of boys. It is necessary to strengthen prevention, controlling and monitoring, and to further improve the dietary structure of school-age children through the joint efforts of families and schools, to increase the proportion of exogenous high selenium food intake.

Objective To summarize the diagnosis and treatment experience of portal vein aneurysm after liver transplantation. Methods Clinical data of two recipients with portal vein aneurysm after liver transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis were summarized based on literature review. Results Both two cases were diagnosed with intrahepatic portal vein aneurysm complicated with portal vein thrombosis and portal hypertension after liver transplantation. Case 1 was given with targeted conservative treatment and he refused to undergo liver retransplantation. Physical condition was worsened after discharge, and the patient eventually died from liver graft failure, kidney failure, lung infection, and septic shock. Case 2 received high-dose glucocorticoid pulse therapy, whereas liver function was not improved, and the patient was recovered successfully after secondary liver transplantation. Conclusions Long-term complication of portal vein aneurysm (especially intrahepatic type) after liver transplantation probably indicates poor prognosis. Correct understanding, intimate follow-up and active treatment should be conducted. Liver retransplantation may be a potential treatment regimen.
