ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of constructing a programmed death receptor-1（PD-1） molecular probe for non-invasive micro-positron emission tomography/computed tomography （Micro-PET/CT） imaging of PD-1 protein in mouse S180 sarcoma. MethodsA transgenic PD-1 C57 S180 sarcoma mouse model was established using the S180 sarcoma cell injection. Furthermore， ¹²⁴I-anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody probe was synthesized. 18.5 MBq of the ¹²⁴I-anti-PD-1 probe was injected into the tail vein of transgenic PD-1 C57 mice. Subsequently， S180 sarcoma was imaged using Micro-PET/CT. ResultsStudy successfully established a transgenic PD-1 C57 S180 sarcoma mouse model. Immunohistochemical （IHC） results showed PD-1 protein expression in S180 sarcoma. Micro-PET/CT imaging successfully visualized the PD-1 protein receptor in S180 sarcoma at different time points （20， 48， 72， and 120 h） after probe injection. ConclusionThe ¹²⁴I-anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody molecular probe successfully targets the PD-1 receptor in S180 sarcoma of transgenic PD-1 C57 mice， and presents clear Micro-PET/CT immunoassay results， thus it potentially enables the non-invasive screening of patients with PD-1 positive malignant tumors.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the ameliorative effects of Imperatae Rhizoma （RI） extract against doxorubicin （DOX）-induced myocardial injury and its potential molecular mechanisms. METHODS Network pharmacology was employed to screen for target overlap between the predicted core targets of RI’s active components and targets associated with myocardial injury， followed by gene ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） enrichment analyses. Based on the network pharmacology results， a DOX-induced myocardial injury mouse model was established using male C57BL/6J mice to observe the effects of RI extract [1 g/（kg·d）] on the survival rate， body weight， and cardiac damage. A DOX-injured HL-1 cardiomyocyte model was established to assess the effects of different mass concentrations of RI extract （50， 100， 200 μg/mL） on mitochondrial membrane potential， adenosine triphosphate （ATP） production， reactive oxygen species （ROS） generation， apoptosis， and expression of the relevant target proteins. The mechanism was validated by transfecting with small interfering RNA of estrogen receptor 1 （ESR1）. RESULTS A total of 58 overlapping targets were screened， which were enriched in biological processes such as hormone response and hypoxia response， as well as pathways including apoptosis， tricarboxylic acid cycle， and pyruvate metabolism. Key target proteins， such as ESR1， were also identified. Animal experiments confirmed that the survival rate of mice in the DOX+RI group was obviously higher than that in the DOX group， with a slower rate of weight loss and improved pathological changes， such as cardiac atrophy and inflammatory cell infiltration， compared to the DOX group. Cell experiments showed that， compared with the DOX group， the DOX+RI groups exhibited significantly increased or upregulated mitochondrial membrane potential， relative ATP levels， and mRNA expressions of isocitrate dehydrogenase 3A （IDH3A）， succinate dehydrogenase A （SDHA） and peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α （PGC-1α）， as well as mRNA and protein expressions of ESR1； conversely， relative ROS levels and apoptosis rates were significantly reduced （ P ＜0.05）. Following ESR1 knockdown， the anti-apoptotic effect of the RI extract on cardiomyocytes was significantly attenuated （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The RI extract may alleviate DOX-induced myocardial injury by activating the ESR1 signaling pathway， improving mitochondrial function， and inhibiting excessive ROS production and cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

Objective To provide a scientific basis for vector prevention and control in port areas, vector monitoring has been conducted continuously to characterize the composition, density, and seasonal fluctuations of vectors across 21 port-areas of Shandong province from 2017 to 2023. Methods In accordance with the Regional Vector Monitoring Plan for Frontier Ports, vector surveillance of mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, rodents, and other disease vectors was performed. Data were analyzed to describe vector community composition and identify seasonal fluctuations. Results A total of 601 rodents belonging to 1 family, 4 genera, and 4 species were captured. Three dominant rodent species inhabit port areas. In addition, 88 104 mosquitoes were captured and classified into 3 subfamilies, 4 genera, and 12 species; 38 959 flies were trapped and classified into 8 families,31 genera, and 51 species, including 9 dominant fly species in port-areas; and 54 672 captured cockroaches were classified into 2 families,4 genera, and 4 species, with Blattella germanica as the dominant species. Conclusions Significant vector community changes(P＜0.005)have been identified after the epidemic. To improve the pertinence and efficacy of port health quarantine work, continuous and strong attention should be paid to vector compositions and population densities at Shandong ports.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice. It has a high prevalence and poor prognosis. The application of antiarrhythmic drugs and even surgery cannot completely treat the disease, and there are many sequelae. AF can be classified into the category of "palpitation" in Chinese medicine according to its symptoms. Acupuncture has a significant effect on AF. The authors find that an important mechanism of acupuncture in AF treatment is to regulate the cardiac vagus nerve. Therefore, this article intends to review the distribution and function of vagus nerve in the heart, the application and the regulatroy effect for the treatment of AF.

Dental pulp-dentin complex defects remain a major unresolved problem in oral medicines. Clinical therapeutic methods including root canal therapy and vital pulp therapy are both considered as conservative strategies, which are incapable of repairing the pulp-dentin complex defects. Although biomaterial-based strategies show remarkable progress in antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and pulp regeneration, the important modulatory effects of nerves within pulp cavity have been greatly overlooked, making it challenging to achieve functional pulp-dentin complex regeneration. In this study, we propose an injectable bioceramics-containing composite hydrogel in combination of Li-Ca-Si (LCS) bioceramics and gelatin methacrylate matrix with photo-crosslinking properties. Due to the sustained release of bioactive Li, Ca and Si ions from LCS, the composite hydrogels possess multiple functions of promoting the neurogenic differentiation of Schwann cells, odontogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells, and neurogenesis-odontogenesis couples in vitro. In addition, the in vivo results showed that LCS-containing composite hydrogel can significantly promote the pulp-dentin complex repair. More importantly, LCS bioceramics-containing composite hydrogel can induce the growth of nerve fibers, leading to the re-innervation of pulp tissues. Taken together, the study suggests that LCS bioceramics can induce the innervation of pulp-dentin complex repair, offering a referable strategy of designing multifunctional filling materials for functional periodontal tissue regeneration.

Stem cell treatment may enhance erectile dysfunction (ED) in individuals with cavernous nerve injury (CNI). Nevertheless, no investigations have directly ascertained the implications of varying amounts of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUC-MSCs) on ED. We compare the efficacy of three various doses of HUC-MSCs as a therapeutic strategy for ED. Sprague-Dawley rats (total = 175) were randomly allocated into five groups. A total of 35 rats underwent sham surgery and 140 rats endured bilateral CNI and were treated with vehicles or doses of HUC-MSCs (1 × 10 6 cells, 5 × 10 6 cells, and 1 × 10 7 cells in 0.1 ml, respectively). Penile tissues were harvested for histological analysis on 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 28 days, 60 days, and 90 days postsurgery. It was found that varying dosages of HUC-MSCs enhanced the erectile function of rats with bilateral CNI and ED. Moreover, there was no significant disparity in the effectiveness of various dosages of HUC-MSCs. However, the expression of endothelial markers (rat endothelial cell antigen-1 [RECA-1] and endothelial nitric oxide synthase [eNOS]), smooth muscle markers (alpha smooth muscle actin [α-SMA] and desmin), and neural markers (neurofilament [RECA-1] and neurogenic nitric oxide synthase [nNOS]) increased significantly with prolonged treatment time. Masson's staining demonstrated an increased in the smooth muscle cell (SMC)/collagen ratio. Significant changes were detected in the microstructures of various types of cells. In vivo imaging system (IVIS) analysis showed that at the 1 st day, the HUC-MSCs implanted moved to the site of damage. Additionally, the oxidative stress levels were dramatically reduced in the penises of rats administered with HUC-MSCs.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the influencing factors on the prognosis of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) after bortezomib treatment, and construct a decision tree risk prediction model based on the influencing factors. METHODS: One hundred and seventy MM patients admitted to the People's Hospital of Jianyang City from January 2019 to June 2022 were selected as research subjects, and divided into poor prognosis group and good prognosis group according to the prognosis after bortezomib treatment. The clinical data of the patients were analyzed, univariate and logistic regression analysis were used to screen influencing factors, SPSS Modeler software was used to construct a decision tree prediction model, and the diagnostic performance of the decision tree risk prediction model was analyzed. RESULTS: The incidence of poor prognosis in 170 MM patients after bortezomib-based chemotherapy was 21.18%. Kappa light chain level≥19.4 mg/L, platelet count (PLT) ≤100×10⁹/L, homocysteine (Hcy) >22 μmol/L, serum creatinine (Scr) ≥176 μmol/L, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ≥300 U/L, serum ferritin (SF) >500 mg/L, and β₂-microglobulin (MG) >6 μg/L were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in MM patients after bortezomib treatment (all P < 0.05). The decision tree model selected 7 explanatory variables (Kappa light chain level, LDH, PLT, SF, β₂-MG, Scr, and Hcy) as nodes of the model, among which Kappa light chain level was the most important predictor. In addition, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) values of the decision tree model and logistic regression model were 0.895 and 0.881, respectively. The prediction performance of the decision tree model was better than that of the logistic regression model ( Z=3.325, P =0.005). CONCLUSION The decision tree model has high value in predicting the prognosis after bortezomib treatment in MM patients, which can screen high-risk factors that affect poor prognosis, providing practical references for clinical healthcare professionals to take preventive treatment for high-risk MM patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the anatomical features of three-dimensional （3D） reconstruction of the hepatic pedicle based on the Laennec’s capsule， as well as its application value in the development of extra-sheath dissection/occlusion clamp and precise hepatectomy. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the abdominal contrast-enhanced CT data of 100 patients without anatomical abnormalities of the hepatic pedicle in The General Hospital of Western Theater Command from January 2021 to June 2024. The Hisense CAS system combined with the 3D U-net deep learning algorithm was used for 3D reconstruction of the hepatic pedicle at the level of Laennec’s capsule， and the hepatic pedicle was measured in terms of the length， outer diameter， and angle of the main trunk and branches. An extra-sheath hepatic pedicle dissection/occlusion clamp was developed based on the above measurements， and a total of 30 patients scheduled for right hemihepatectomy were enrolled and randomly divided into device group and control group， with 15 patients in each group. The two groups were compared in terms of hepatic pedicle handling time， time of operation， intraoperative blood loss， and the incidence rate of bile duct injury. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsThe results of 3D reconstruction revealed four variants in the main trunk branches of the hepatic pedicle， with type Ⅰ （left-right branching） accounting for 88% （88/100）， type Ⅱ （trifurcation type） accounting for 5% （5/100）， type Ⅲ （right anterior branching） accounting for 5% （5/100）， and type Ⅳ （special type） accounting for 2% （2/100）. The outer diameter of the main hepatic pedicle was 24.10±6.16 mm， the length of the left main branch was 20.59±6.38 mm， and the length of the right main branch was 21.99±7.98 mm. Compared with the control group， the device group had significantly shorter hepatic pedicle handling time （14.10±1.30 minutes vs 17.50±2.00 minutes， t=-5.620， P=0.001） and time of operation （217.00±28.28 minutes vs 241.87±19.49 minutes， t=-2.804， P=0.009）. The device group had a significantly lower incidence rate of bile duct injury than the control group （0 vs 20%， P=0.031）. Conclusion3D reconstruction based on the Laennec’s capsule can accurately display the anatomical variations of the hepatic pedicle. The extra-sheath hepatic pedicle dissection/occlusion clamp developed based on such data can optimize the process of hepatic pedicle management and improve surgical safety， and therefore， it holds promise for clinical application.

Objective:To establish a set of dynamic definition methods and key operational techniques for community pediatric services contents within the framework of an integrated children health services model.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From December 2023 to June 2024, a study was conducted at the Shanghai Gumei Community Health Service Center. The study was divided into three phases: identifying the health needs of community children (Phase A), developing the service content and methods for community children (Phase B), and establishing a community children service network (Phase C). A variety of methods, including questionnaires and focus group interviews, were comprehensively employed in each phase to develop the ABC demand network and its construction approach for community children, and to establish a networked service system.Results:A total of 512 questionnaires were distributed in Phase A, of which 499 were returned for an effective recovery rate of 97.5%. Of the parents, 488 (97.8%, 488/499) would actively seek information related to children′s health. Of those parents, 90.6% (452/499), 80.8% (403/499), and 71.9% (359/499) expressed concern about their children′s growth and development, mental health and social adaptation, and the prevention and treatment of common, frequently occurring diseases, respectively. The research clarified the health needs of children in the community and the health issues of children in different age groups. This included the mental health and social adaptation of community children, as well as common and frequently occurring diseases. The study also revealed a lack of mental health and social adaptation's services for children in the community. After sorting the community′s services into categories such as children′s growth and development detection, diagnosis and treatment of common diseases, and planned immunizations, and establishing corresponding service methods, it was found that Gumei community Health Service Center had strong diagnostic service capabilities for children aged 0-3 and 4-6, but need improved for children aged 7-12 and 13-15. At the same time, a service network consisting of five major categories, represented by medical alliances, has been established to address unmet needs in diagnosis and rehabilitation care for mental health and social adaptation, as well as major diseases.Conclusions:The study has developed an ABC demand network and its construction method for community children. It provides new ideas for defining the content of community pediatric services and establishing supporting methods, and it offers a practical basis for the constructing a community pediatric service system.
