AIM: To investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of differential expression of Cyclin D1 and p53 in eyelid tumors.METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent surgical resection for eyelid tumors at our hospital between March 2018 and March 2023. Participants were categorized into benign and malignant groups based on tumor characteristics. Clinical data were collected. Genetic data for eyelid tumors were obtained from the GEO database, and differential gene analysis, including volcano plot visualization and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, was performed using the Sangerbox 3.0 platform. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression levels of Cyclin D1, p53, and BAX in tissue samples. Correlations with clinical features were analyzed using Spearman analysis, and prognostic factors were identified via Logistic regression analysis.RESULTS: This study included 69 patients with eyelid tumors(78 eyes), categorized into a benign group(37 patients, 41 eyes)and a malignant group(32 patients, 37 eyes)based on tumor characteristics. There were significant differences between the two groups in histological subtype, TNM staging, vascular invasion, differentiation status, and local infiltration(all P<0.05). Among benign tumors: pigmented nevi in 11 eyes(27%), hemangiomas in 9 eyes(22%), squamous cell papillomas in 5 eyes(12%), epidermoid cysts in 5 eyes(12%), seborrheic keratoses in 4 eyes(10%), neurofibromas in 3 eyes(7%), and both calcifying epithelioma and xanthelasma in 2 eyes each(5%); among malignant tumors: basal cell carcinoma in 18 eyes(49%), meibomian gland carcinoma in 8 eyes(22%), squamous cell carcinoma in 5 eyes(14%), sebaceous gland carcinoma in 4 eyes(11%), lymphoma and malignant melanoma each in 1 eye(3%). At the follow-up cutoff date of March 2025, the 2-year survival rate in the benign group(95%)was significantly higher than that in the malignant group(78%; P<0.05). Bioinformatics analysis identified 4 103 differentially expressed genes, including Cyclin D1, p53, and BAX, which were predominantly involved in pathways such as the p53 signaling pathway and calcium-related signaling. Spearman analysis revealed that local invasion(rs=0.71, P<0.05)and TNM stage(rs=0.73, P<0.05)correlated with Cyclin D1 expression; local invasion(rs=0.76, P<0.05)and histological subtype(rs=0.65, P<0.05)correlated with p53 expression. Logistic regression results indicated that Cyclin D1, p53, TNM staging, and local invasion were prognostic risk factors. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the combined detection of these four indicators had the highest predictive value for prognosis(AUC=0.83).CONCLUSION: High expression of cyclin D1 and p53 serves as molecular markers for distinguishing benign from malignant eyelid tumors and assessing prognosis. Combined detection of these markers with TNM staging and local invasion demonstrates high predictive value for prognosis.

Objective To understand the membrane protein molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) in the region,and provide some evidence for rational drug use or application of efflux pump inhibitors. Methods Collected Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from four hospitals in the region from October 2022 to August 2023,and used SYBR-PCR method to quantitatively detect the relative mRNA expression (RE) levels of 10 membrane protein coding genes,including mexA,B,C,D,E,F,X,Y,and oprD,M. Then categorized the strains into five groups based on ceftazidime,cefepime,imipenem,and meropenem resistance phenotype combination,including the compassionate group (Group Ⅰ),Group Ⅱ with full resistance,IPM,MEM resistant,CAZ and CFP sensitive groups (Group Ⅲ),IPM resistance,MEM non-resistance (sensitive or intermediate) group (Group Ⅳ),IPM,MEM resistance,CAZ and CFP non-resistance groups (Group V).The median RE of each membrane protein-coding gene was analyzed. Results A total of 108 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were collected,with 24 strains in Group Ⅰ as controls and 84 strains in the carbapenem resistant group,including 32 strains in Group Ⅱ,22 strains in Group Ⅲ,13 strains in Group Ⅳ,and 17 strains in Group Ⅴ. The expression of mexD,mexE,mexF,mexX and mexY in the drug-resistant group was higher than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (U=409.5～661.0,all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in mexA,mexB,mexC,oprD and oprM with the control group (U=767.0～1004.5,all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression of RE genes encoding various membrane proteins among strains from different hospitals (H=0.914～7.407,all P>0.05). Among the four different phenotypes,there was no statistically significant difference in the irregular distribution of mexA and oprM RE between each group and the control group (UmexA=95.0～264.0,UoprM=143.0～331.0). The mexC RE in each group was lower than that in the control group,but the differences were not statistically significant (U=134.0～344.5,all P>0.05). MeixE and meixY RE were both higher than the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (UmexE=48.0～230.0,UmexY=83.0～184.0). MeixB was lower than the control group in group Ⅳ (U=72.0),and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). MeixD and meixF showed consistent expression,with higher expression in groups Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ compared to the control group (UmeixD=34.0～102.0,UmeixF=65.0～113.0). MeixX was expressed higher in groups Ⅱ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ compared to the control group (U=164.0,58.0,111.0),while oprD was only expressed lower in group Ⅲ than in the control group (U=140.0),with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Although the expression of oprD in groups Ⅱ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ was lower than that in the control group,the differences were not statistically significant (U=381.0,102.0,144.0,all P>0.05). Conclusion ExCD,mexEF and mexXY are the main membrane protein combinations of CRPA efflux pumps in Kunming area. Upregulation of mexD,E,F,X,and Y membrane protein expression enhanced efflux. The correlation between mexAB oprM efflux pump and carbapenem resistance in CRPA in this area was low. The low expression of oprD played a role in the efflux mechanism in strains that do not produce β-lactase,but there was no significant difference in low expression in enzyme producing strains.

Objective To investigate the neuroprotective effect of Tibetan medicine 70 Wei Pearl Pill(RNSP)on 6-hydroxydopamine(6-OHDA)induced Parkinson's disease model rats and its related mechanism.Methods Totally 48 male SD rats were randomly divided into control group,model group,model plus low-dose RNSP group(90 mg/kg),model plus medium-dose RNSP group(180 mg/kg),model plus high-dose RNSP group(360 mg/kg),and model plus madopar group(50 mg/kg),with 8 rats in per group.Except for the control group,the other rats were treated with 6-OHDA single injection into the striatum to establish the PD model.Each group was given intragastric administration after modeling and the control group and model group were given an equal volume of saline once a day for 4 weeks.The rats were subjected to apomorphine-induced rotation,experiments at the 2nd and 4th week after the completion of modeling,and the open field experiment was conducted the next day after the last rotation experiment to observe the animal behavior.After the behavioral experiment,the rats were stained with tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)in the substantia nigra pars compacta by immunohistochemical method and the positive neurons were counted.The protein levels of Bcl-2,BAX,Caspase-3 in substantia nigra and P38,P-P38,ERK,P-ERK,JNK,P-JNK in the striatum were detected by Western blotting.Results Compared with the control group,the rotation frequency and percentage of rotating rats in the model group increased significantly at the 2nd and 4th weeks after modeling;the open field active distance,average speed and times of crossing the grid were significantly decreased;and the rest time was significantly increased.While the number of TH positive neurons in the substantia nigra was significantly decreased,the BAX and Caspase-3 protein levels were increased significantly,Bcl-2 was decreased significantly,the ratios of P-P38/P38,P-JNK/JNK and P-ERK/ERK in the striatum were significantly increased in PD group.Compared with the model group,the rotation frequency and percentage of rotating rats in the low-,medium-and high-dose groups of RNSP had no significant changes after 2 weeks of administration,the rotation frequency in the high-dose group and percentage of rotating rats in the low-and medium-dose RNSP groups significantly decreased after 4 weeks of administration.The open field active distance,average speed,and times of crossing the grid were significantly increased;the rest time was significantly decreased.The number of TH positive neurons in the substantia nigra was significantly increased,the Bax and Caspase-3 protein levels were decreased significantly while the Bcl-2 was significantly increased.The ratios of P-P38/P38,P-JNK/JNK and P-ERK/ERK in the striatum were significantly decreased.Conclusion Tibetan medicine RNSP can improve the motor ability and reduce the loss of DA neurons in PD rats,and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting P38/JNK/ERK signaling pathway and reducing the apoptosis of midbrain neurons.

Objective:To explore the effects of medication interval on the quality of split-dose bowel preparation and analyze the independent risk factors affecting the quality of bowel preparation.Methods:This pilot study involved two centers. Adult outpatients who underwent screening, surveillance, and diagnostic colonoscopy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University ( n=46) and the Fifth Hospital of Zhangjiakou ( n=20) between April and June 2023 were enrolled. Bowel preparation was conducted based on the guideline. Patients were divided into the short-interval group (4-<10 hours, n=45) and the long-interval group (10-16 hours, n=21) based on the time between the two administrations of polyethylene glycol during bowel preparation. Differences in terms of patient-reported outcome measurements (patient-reported willingness to repeat the bowel preparation regimen, satisfaction with bowel preparation, satisfaction with sleep), defecation frequency, Boston bowel preparation scale scores, bowel preparation bubble scores, bowel preparation qualified rates, polyp detection rates and incidence of adverse events were compared. Relevant factors influencing bowel preparation quality were analyzed by univariate logistic regression. Results:There were no significant differences in patient-reported willingness to repeat the bowel preparation regimen [88.9% (40/45) VS 85.7% (18/21), χ2<0.001, P>0.999], the satisfaction with bowel preparation [65.9% (29/45) VS 57.1% (12/21), χ2=0.469, P=0.493], or the satisfaction with sleep quality [35.6% (16/45) VS 28.6% (6/21), χ2=0.314, P=0.575] between the short-interval and long-interval groups. Similarly, no significant differences were observed between the groups in defecation frequency (11.3±4.8 VS 10.2±4.4, t=0.861, P=0.395), Boston bowel preparation scale scores (8.2±1.4 scores VS 7.9±1.2 scores, t=1.024, P=0.311), bowel preparation bubble scores (8.6±1.0 scores VS 8.4±1.5 scores, t=0.672, P=0.506), bowel preparation qualified rates [88.9% (40/45) VS 90.5% (19/21), χ2<0.001, P>0.999], polyp detection rates [33.3% (15/45) VS 47.6% (10/21), χ2=1.242, P=0.265], or incidence of adverse events [24.4% (11/45) VS 14.3% (3/21), χ2=0.381, P=0.537]. Univariate logistic analysis suggested that a low-fiber diet ( OR=8.100, 95% CI:1.400-46.849, P=0.019) was an influencing factor for qualified bowel preparation. Conclusion:Medication interval of the two doses of polyethylene glycol in a split-dose bowel preparation regimen for colonoscopy has no significant impact on bowel preparation quality. Notably, preoperative low-fiber diet emerges as an independent protective factor for qualified bowel preparation.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of respiratory pathogens in China.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study, which encompassed 19 core units of the clinical pathogen network and established a three-tiered clinical pathogen surveillance system. Thirty respiratory samples were collected every two weeks from various units from January to December 2024, and the clinical and pathogen diagnostic information were gathered. A total of 11 864 samples were tested using this system. The tier-1 clinical pathogen surveillance system covered influenza A virus (Flu-A), influenza B virus (Flu-B), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The tier-2 clinical pathogen surveillance system focused on 18 key respiratory pathogens. The tier-3 clinical pathogen surveillance system further clarified whether any emerging infectious diseases had occurred.Results:The tier-1 clinical pathogen surveillance system showed Flu-A predominated in December, Flu-B predominated in January, SARS-CoV-2 peaked in March and August, whereas RSV circulated sporadically throughout the year. Geographic trends were broadly consistent across the seven major regions, although Flu-A detection in December was notably higher in Northeast China (48.1%(111/231)) and East China (36.2%(148/409)), and RSV detection was concentrated in the Northwest and South China from January to March. Data from the tier-2 clinical pathogen surveillance system indicated that Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, rhinovirus, and adenovirus were detected year-round, of these, Streptococcus pneumoniae and rhinovirus showed elevated positive detection rates from August to September, while adenovirus peaked in January. Legionella pneumophila was not detected throughout the year, and other pathogens fluctuated throughout the year without a consistent pattern. The predominant etiologic agents of pediatric pneumonia were Mycoplasma pneumoniae (35.0%(105/300)), rhinovirus (25.7%(77/300)), and adenovirus (17.3%(52/300)), whereas adult pneumonia was mainly caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (10.5%(29/277)), Staphylococcus aureus (6.9%(19/277)), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (6.9%(19/277)), and Flu-A (6.1%(17/277)). The tier-3 clinical pathogen surveillance system did not identify any emerging respiratory pathogens. Conclusion:Respiratory pathogens in China in 2024 exhibit distinct temporal and spatial distribution patterns and vary among different populations.

Objective To investigate the risk factors influencing postoperative recurrence of abdominal wall endometriosis(AWE).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 225 AWE patients who underwent surgery between January 2015 and December 2021.The follow-up period ranged from 30 to 108 months(mean,62.2±23.3 months).There were 16 cases of recurrence and 209 cases of non-recurrence.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were performed to identify factors associated with postoperative recurrence.Results Univariate analysis revealed that prior AWE resection history,preoperative VAS score,intraoperative lesion number,maximum diameter,and postoperative medication were significantly correlated with recurrence(P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression identified three independent risk factors for recurrence:prior AWE resection history(OR=4.082,95％ CI:1.019-16.354,P=0.047),multiple intraoperative lesions(OR=5.275,95％ CI:1.560-17.834,P=0.007),and absence of postoperative pharmacotherapy(OR=6.256,95％ CI:1.479-26.457,P=0.013).Conclusion Patients with a history of prior AWE excision,multiple lesions,or lack of postoperative pharmacotherapy are at higher risk of recurrence of AWE.

OBJECTIVE To explore the molecular characteristics of small colony variants(SCVs)of Staphylococcus aureus isolates so as to provide theoretical bases for clinical control of the persistent and recurrent infections in-duced by the SCVs.METHODS The clinical blood specimens that were collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine University of Guangzhou were cultured to acquire 1 strain of SCV S.aureus S2.The colonial morphology,growth rate,catalase,plasma-coagulase,production capability of biofilm and antimi-crobial susceptibility of the strain SCVs were observed,the growth curve and autolysis curve were drawn,the whole genome sequencing was performed for the S2,the phylogenetic evolution of the genome and the single nu-cleotide polymorphism(SNP)were analyzed.RESULTS The S2 was identified as S.aureus,with the catalase and plasma-coagulase tested positive.The strain was resistant to various types of antibiotics,including macrolides like erythromycin and azithromycin,fluroquinolones such as levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin,and penicillin.The forma-tion of pigment was reduced,the formation of hemolytic rings was low;the growth rate of the strain was slower than that of ATCC 25923(quality control strain)and ZC1(the normal control strain),the autolytic activity of the strain was higher than that of the ATCC 25923 and ZC1,and the biofilm production of the strain was remarkably less than that of the ATCC 29213(P＜0.05).The whole genome sequencing demonstrated that the molecular typ-ing of the S2 was ST239-t030 clone,which harbored a variety of drug resistance genes and virulence genes,and the menB gene had missense mutation.CONCLUSION The formation of SCVs may be associated with the inhibited synthesis of menadione caused by the missense mutation of menB gene.

Objective To investigate the risk factors influencing postoperative recurrence of abdominal wall endometriosis(AWE).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 225 AWE patients who underwent surgery between January 2015 and December 2021.The follow-up period ranged from 30 to 108 months(mean,62.2±23.3 months).There were 16 cases of recurrence and 209 cases of non-recurrence.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were performed to identify factors associated with postoperative recurrence.Results Univariate analysis revealed that prior AWE resection history,preoperative VAS score,intraoperative lesion number,maximum diameter,and postoperative medication were significantly correlated with recurrence(P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression identified three independent risk factors for recurrence:prior AWE resection history(OR=4.082,95％ CI:1.019-16.354,P=0.047),multiple intraoperative lesions(OR=5.275,95％ CI:1.560-17.834,P=0.007),and absence of postoperative pharmacotherapy(OR=6.256,95％ CI:1.479-26.457,P=0.013).Conclusion Patients with a history of prior AWE excision,multiple lesions,or lack of postoperative pharmacotherapy are at higher risk of recurrence of AWE.

The incidence of malignant tumors among elderly patients is increasing.Influenced by multiple factors such as aging,tumor,and drug,this population exhibits a high prevalence of renal insufficiency.However,there remains a scarcity of research data and significant challenges in clinical management.This article systematically an-alyzes the challenges faced in administering anti-tumor therapies to elderly patients with renal insufficiency and pro-poses management strategies.Optimization approaches include precise assessment of renal function,selection of nephrotoxicity-sparing medications,appropriate dose adjustments,implementation of preventive measures,and em-phasis on comprehensive geriatric assessment and multidisciplinary collaboration.Renal injury management should be individualized,with considerations for special populations such as renal transplant recipients and dialysis pa-tients.Future efforts should focus on biomarker discovery and the development of low-nephrotoxicity therapeutic agents to address these complex clinical challenges.
