Objective To report the diagnosis,treatment,and verification process of a patient with sex development disorder whose chromosomal karyotype and genetic test results are inconsistent,and conduct a literature review to improve the understanding of the mosaic status of sexual development disorders.Methods A 14-year-old patient presented with primary amenorrhea on April 3,2020,at the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University,exhibiting female sexual characteristics.The patient underwent ultrasonic/magnetic resonance imaging of gonads,assessment of gonadal axis function,chromosomal karyotype,and molecular genetic testing,as well as pelvic exploration,malignant gonads resection,and hormone replacement therapy,resulting in drug-induced menstruation.During the diagnosis and treatment,it was found that the patient's chromosomal karyotype analysis was inconsistent with the molecular genetic test results.Subsequently,samples from the three germ layer cells were taken,and fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)was used to detect the sex chromosomes in each germ layer cell.XY probes were used to label the gonadal pathological sections to explore the distribution differences of the Y chromosome in the gonads,and changes in anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH)levels before and after surgery were compared.Databases such as Wanfang and PubMed were searched to summarize relevant cohort study literature and understand the current status of research on this disease.Results The patient's body exhibited a significant differences between the 45,X and 46,XY cell lines in different germ layers and within the same layer tissues.The proportion of 45,X in buccal mucosal cells derived from the ectoderm was 30%(6/20),in peripheral blood lymphocytes derived from the mesoderm was 9.7%(11/114),and in bladder shed cells derived from endoderm was 20.4%(22/108).The gonadal pathological sections labeled with XY probes indicated a mosaic state with a reduced Y-chromosome;where the epididymal structure area had a 45,X cell line mosaic of 50.0%,and the malignant area had a normal"Y"content.After gonadal resection,AMH levels significantly dropped from 7.28 pmol/L to＜0.07 pmol/L.Literature review revealed that patients with 45,X/46,XY have a complex phenotype spectrum,most with features of Turner syndrome,and female phenotypes are at risk of gonadal tumors.Conclusions In the diagnosis of difficult cases of sex development disorders,when performing peripheral blood karyotype testing,the number of counted cells and analyzed cells should be increased as much as possible,and multi-germ layer cell sampling should be performed.Gonads with a high"Y"mosaic rate are more prone to malignancy in the abdominal cavity.Detecting AMH levels can distinguish cryptorchidism and anorchidism in sexual development disorders with Y chromosomes.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of ubiquitin-associated domain-containing protein 2(UBAC2)mediated by m6A methylation modification on the invasion and migration abilities of colorectal cancer cells.Methods The GEPIA2.0 database was utilized to analyze the expression differences of UBAC2 mRNA between colorectal cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues,as well as its expression in colorectal cancer tissues at different stages.The correlation between Wilms tumor 1-associated protein(WTAP)and UBAC2 expression was analyzed.The Kaplan-Meier plotter online tool was applied to analyze the correlation between UBAC2 and the overall survival rate of colorectal cancer patients.The RMVar and SRAMP databases were employed to predict potential m6A methylation modification sites in the UBAC2 gene.Quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)and Western blotting were performed to detect the expression levels of UBAC2 mRNA and protein in colorectal cancer cell lines.For UBAC2 knockdown experiments,SW480 cells were divided into control group(no treatment),sh-NC group(transfected with sh-NC negative control plasmid),and sh-UBAC2 group(transfected with sh-UBAC2 plasmid).For WTAP knockdown experiments,groups included control group(no treatment),si-NC group(transfected with negative control siRNA),and si-WTAP group(transfected with WTAP-targeting siRNA).For UBAC2 overexpression experiments,groups were control group(no treatment),si-WTAP group(transfected with pcDNA3.1 empty plasmid),and si-WTAP+OE-UBAC2 group(transfected with UBAC2 overexpression plasmid pcDNA3.1-UBAC2).Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of UBAC2,WTAP,E-cadherin,N-cadherin,and Vimentin;qRT-PCR was applied to detect the expression level of UBAC2 mRNA;Transwell assays were conducted to assess cell invasion and migration abilities.MeRIP-qPCR was employed to detect the m6A methylation modification of UBAC2 mRNA;RIP-qPCR experiments were conducted to verify the binding of WTAP to UBAC2 mRNA.In nude mouse colorectal cancer lung metastasis experiments,groups included LV-sh-NC group(tail vein injection of SW480 cells stably infected with LV-sh-NC)and LV-sh-UBAC2 group(tail vein injection of SW480 cells stably infected with LV-sh-UBAC2).After 42 d of tumor-implantation in nude mice,lung tissues were harvested:the number of lung nodules observed by hematoxylin/eosin(HE)staining,and the expression level of Luc2 mRNA detected by qRT-PCR.Results GEPIA2.0 database analysis revealed that the expression level of UBAC2 mRNA in colorectal cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues,and it gradually increased with the progression of tumor stage(P<0.05).The expression levels of UBAC2 mRNA and protein in multiple colorectal cancer cell lines were significantly higher than those in normal colonic epithelial cells(P<0.05).Compared with sh-NC group,sh-UBAC2 group showed significantly increased E-cadherin protein expression,significantly decreased N-cadherin and Vimentin protein expression,and significantly reduced number of invaded and migrated SW480 cells(P<0.05).GEPIA2.0 database analysis results indicated a positive correlation between WTAP and UBAC2 expression(r=0.24,P<0.001).Compared with si-NC group,si-WTAP group showed significantly decreased expression levels of WTAP and UBAC2 mRNA and protein in SW480 cells(P<0.05).MeRIP-qPCR results demonstrated that the m6A modification level of UBAC2 mRNA in si-WTAP group was significantly lower than that in si-NC group(P<0.05).RIP-qPCR further confirmed that WTAP could bind to UBAC2 mRNA.Compared with control group,si-WTAP group showed significantly increased E-cadherin protein expression and significantly decreased N-cadherin and Vimentin protein expression in SW480 cells(P<0.05);compared with si-WTAP group,si-WTAP+OE-UBAC2 group showed significantly decreased E-cadherin protein expression and significantly increased N-cadherin and Vimentin protein expression in SW480 cells(P<0.05).The number of lung nodules in LV-sh-UBAC2 group was significantly fewer than that in LV-sh-NC group,and the expression level of Luc2 mRNA in lung tissues was significantly lower than that in LV-sh-NC group(P<0.05).Conclusion UBAC2 mediated by m6A methylation modification can regulate the epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)process in colorectal cancer cells,thereby affecting the invasion and migration abilities of colorectal cancer cells.

Facing of mounting resource constraints and rising demands for personalization in medical education,regional anatomy teaching urgently requires transformation.In this paper,we focus on the regional anatomy of the thoracic wall,in order to explore a novel AI-driven teaching paradigm.Anchored in the core principle of"virtual-real integration with cadaveric dissection as the cornerstone,"the paradigm redefines educational objective and constructs an intelligent,closed-loop teaching model integrating students,computers,and instructors.Leveraging the robust support of digital intelligence(e.g.,DeepSeek),this paradigm incorporates interactive method including group collaboration,branching instruction,and gamified assessments.It achieves a comprehensive intelligent transformation of the entire teaching process-from goal setting and plan customization to activity implementation,task completion,outcome exchange,multidimensional evaluation,and reflective iteration.This new paradigm centers on medical students and leverages digital intelligence to activate deep personalized learning potential.It seamlessly integrates fundamental anatomical knowledge with clinical scenarios(e.g.,key anatomy in breast cancer surgery,flap design in breast reconstruction),and significantly enhances clinical decision-making abilities,scientific research and innovative thinking,as well as medical humanistic literacy,paving a new path for intelligent medical education.

Objective To explore how to organically integrate the human anatomy curriculum with medical imaging,thereby enhancing medical students' spatial understanding and 3D reconstruction skills,and strengthening their anatomical foundation and clinical competence.This approach aims to bridge the gap between basic science and clinical practice while cultivating clinical thinking abilities.Methods In this study,the medical imaging knowledge was introduced into the anatomy curriculum in Peking University,enabling students to better understand the human body structure and its relationship to the clinical practice with aid of the ultrasound and MRI method.After the course concluded,we evaluated the examination result and learning satisfaction data from the anatomy course.Results The result showed that students provided positive feedback,showing increased interest in learning,enhanced initiative,significant improvement in their anatomy grades(P＜0.01),and a notable enhancement in their ability to apply basic knowledge to solve clinical problems(P＜0.05).Conclusion The integrated teaching approach of medical imaging and human anatomy courses provides innovative ideas and practical method for medical students to learn the basic medical course and enhance their clinical skills in the future.

Objective:This study aims to determine the risk perception, evacuation decision-making, and influencing factors related to typhoon disasters among public.Methods:A cross-sectional study will be conducted in residents of Hainan from September 2024 to January 2025. The study will employ chi-square tests, t-tests, and binary logistic regression analysis to examine factors influencing evacuation behavior decisions. Furthermore, structural equation modeling based on ordered choice model will be constructed to validate the mechanisms through which risk perception affects evacuation decision-making processes.Results:Among 517 respondents from 11 administrative districts (counties) in Hainan Province, 62.09% of the residents were willing to evacuate. The decision of public evacuation behavior was significantly related to disaster knowledge, official trust, risk perception, source of warning information and some demographic characteristics. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that warning information sources positively correlated with disaster knowledge and official trust (path coefficients: 0.363, 0.315, both P < 0.001). Both disaster knowledge and official trust showed positive correlations with risk perception (path coefficients: 0.157, 0.165, both P < 0.001), while risk perception positively influenced evacuation decisions (path coefficient: 0.137, P = 0.003). Moreover, source of warning information, disaster knowledge and official trust further positively affect evacuation behavior decision through risk perception, a key mediating variable. Conclusions:Disaster knowledge, official trust, risk perception and other factors can directly or indirectly affect the evacuation behavior of the public following the typhoon disaster. In typhoon-prone areas, it is recommended to enhance public risk perception through strategies such as authoritative training, diversified early warning channels, and improving government credibility, thereby promoting disaster preparedness and evacuation behaviors.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Atractylodes lancea is a perennial herbaceous plant of Asteraceae, with rhizomes for medical use. However, A. lancea plants from different habitats have great variability, and the germplasm resources of A. lancea are unclear and mixed during production. Therefore, it is urgent to protect new varieties of A. lancea. The distinctness, uniformity, and stability(DUS) testing of new plant varieties is the foundation of plant variety protection, and the DUS testing guidelines are the technical basis for variety approval agencies to conduct DUS testing. In this study, the phenotypic traits of 94 germplasm accessions of A. lancea were investigated considering the breeding and variety characteristics of A. lancea in China. The traits were classified and described, and 24 traits were preliminarily determined, including 20 basic traits that must be tested and four traits selected to be tested. The 20 basic traits included 3 quality traits, 5 false quality traits, and 12 quantitative traits, corresponding to 1 plant traits, 2 stem traits, 8 leaf traits, 6 flower traits, and 3 seed traits. The measurement ranges and coefficients of variation of eight quantitative traits were determined, on the basis of which the grading criteria and codes of the traits were determined and assigned. The guidelines has guiding significance for the trait evaluation, utilization, and breeding of new varieties of A. lancea.

Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) is the pillar for the development of motherland medicine, and animal medicine has a long history of application in China, characterized by wide resources, strong activity, definite efficacy, and great benefits. It has significant potential and important status in the consumption market of raw materials of TCM. In the context of global climate change, farming system alterations, and low renewability, the depletion of wild medicinal animal resources has accelerated. Accordingly, the conservation and sustainable utilization of wild resources of animal medicinal materials has become a problem that garners increasing attention and urgently needs to be solved. This paper summarizes the current situation of domestic and foreign medicinal animal breeding and research progress in industrial application in recent years and points out the issues related to standardized breeding, germplasm selection and breeding, and quality evaluation standards for medicinal animals. Furthermore, this paper discusses standardized breeding, quality standards, resource protection and utilization, and the search for alternative resources for rare and endangered medicinal animals. It proposes that researchers should systematically carry out in-depth basic research on animal medicine, improve the breeding scale and level of medicinal animals, employ modern technology to enhance the quality standards of medicinal materials, and strengthen the research and development of alternative resources. This approach aims to effectively address the relationship between protection and utilization and make a significant contribution to the sustainable development of medicinal animal resources and the animal-based Chinese medicinal material industry.
