Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by impaired motility of cilia and flagella. Mutations in cilia- and flagella-associated protein 300 ( CFAP300 ) are associated with human PCD and male infertility; however, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms remain poorly understood. In a consanguineous Chinese family, we identified a homozygous CFAP300 loss-of-function variant (c.304delC) in a proband presenting with classical PCD symptoms and severe sperm abnormalities, including dynein arm deficiency and acrosomal malformation, as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Histological analysis revealed multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella in CFAP300 -mutant individual, whereas immunofluorescence demonstrated markedly reduced CFAP300 expression in the spermatozoa of the proband. Furthermore, tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics showed that the CFAP300 mutation reduced key spermatogenesis proteins (e.g., sperm flagellar 2 [SPEF2], solute carrier family 25 member 31 [SLC25A31], and A-kinase anchoring protein 3 [AKAP3]) and mitochondrial ATP synthesis factors (e.g., SLC25A31, cation channel sperm-associated 3 [CATSPER3]). It also triggered abnormal increases in autophagy-related proteins and signaling mediator phosphorylation. These molecular alterations are likely to contribute to progressive deterioration of sperm ultrastructure and function. Notably, successful pregnancy was achieved via intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using the proband's sperm. Overall, this study expands the known CFAP300 mutational spectrum and offers novel mechanistic insights into its role in spermatogenesis.

Objective:To construct and validate a predictive model for postoperative recurrence in early non-small cell lung cancer patients.Methods:The clinical data of 252 patients with early non-small cell lung cancer admitted to the 926th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA from January 2016 to January 2018were retrospectively collected. All of the patients underwent surgical treatment and they were followed up for 5 years after surgery, according the recurrence after surgery, they were divided into the recurrence group (103 cases) and non- recurrence group (149 cases). The risk factors for postoperative recurrence in early non-small cell lung cancer patients were analyzed. A predictive model for postoperative recurrence in early non-small cell lung cancer patients was constructed and validated.Results:The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that tumor long diameter≥ 3 cm, lymph node metastasis, low differentiation, spicules and pleural traction were independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence in early non-small cell lung cancer patients ( P<0.05). Using R4.0.3 statistical software, the dataset was randomly divided into a training set and a validation set, with a sample size of 176 cases in the training set and 76 cases in the validation set. A prediction model was constructed, with thearea under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.754 (95% CI 0.679 - 0.828) in the training set and AUC of 0.749 (95% CI 0.634 - 0.864) in the validation set. The model was subjected to a Hosmer-Lemeshow Goodness-of-Fit Test in the validation set, χ2 = 11.31, P = 0.185. Conclusions:The predictive model base on tumor long diameter ≥ 3 cm, lymph node metastasis, low differentiation, spicules and pleural traction can identify patients at high risk of postoperative recurrence in early non-small cell lung cancer effectively.

Objective To explore the application value of wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet(WALANT)technique in outpatient surgery for locking of metacarpophalangeal joint with extension lag.Methods The clinical data of 6 patients with locking of meta-carpophalangeal joint with extension lag in Danyang People's Hospital from January 2019 to October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were received outpatient surgery under the WALLANT technique for release,and lidocaine mixed solution containing 1∶100 000 epinephrine was injected into the proximal midpoint of the volar projection of the metacarpophalangeal joint.The joint was exposed with a volar or dorsal finger web incision to determine the unrestricted structure,and the collateral ligament and paralateral collateral ligament with high tension were cut off.The intraoperative blood loss,postoperative incision healing and complications were recorded.Visual analogue scale(VAS)was used to evaluate the intraoperative pain,and the range of motion of metacarpophalangeal joint and total active movement(TAM)of finger joint were observed during postoperative follow-up.Results The incision of patients were healed successfully in the first phase after surgery,without wound necrosis.The anesthesia effects of patients were all satisfied and the operation was successfully completed.The VAS score was less than 3 points and there was only a small amount of bleeding during the operation.The recovery of joint flexion and extension movements could be observed during the operation,and the TAM score after the operation was 20 points.No significant change was found on the range of motion of metacarpophalangeal joint or TAM of finger joint between the injured finger and the corresponding healthy finger(P>0.05).Conclusion WALANT technique for locking of metacarpophalangeal joint with extension lag surgery has good anesthesia effect,less bleeding in the incision,and clear vision of the surgery.It can avoid vascular and nerve injuries,observe the recovery of joint activities during the operation and relieve pain of patients,which is conducive to outpatient surgery and saving medical and social resources at the same time.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the time-effect relationship of ginger-partitioned moxibustion in treating fecal inconti-nence in patients with mild to moderate active Crohn's disease so as to optimize moxibustion duration and provide a basis for clinical application.METHODS A total of 128 patients with Crohn's disease complicated by fecal incontinence who met the inclusion crite-ria were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into a control group and three experimental groups(experimental group Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ)of 32 patients each using a stratified random method(with 1 dropout in experimental group Ⅰ).Patients in the control group received routine anti-tumor necrosis factor-α monoclonal antibody(adalimumab)treatment,while patients in the experimental groups received ginger moxibustion therapy in addition to the treatment provided to the control group.Among them,experimental groupⅠ received treatment for 20 minutes,experimental group Ⅱ for 40 minutes,and experimental group Ⅲ for 60 minutes.The course of treatment for all four groups was 3 months.Changes in TCM syndrome scores were compared before and after treatment in the four groups to assess clinical efficacy.The cleveland clinic incontinence score(CCIS)was used to assess the severity of fecal incontinence,the Crohn's disease activity index(CDAI)was used to assess the degree of disease activity,and the inflammatory bowel disease ques-tionnaire(IBDQ)was used to evaluate the quality of life.Anal pressure index and peripheral blood CRP and ESR levels were mea-sured,and the relationship between moxibustion time and effect was analyzed.RESULTS After 3 months of treatment,the total TCM syndrome scores of all four groups improved to varying degrees(P<0.05,P<0.01).The total scores of groups Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ were supe-rior to those of the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01),while group Ⅱ had the lowest total TCM syndrome score.Group Ⅱ had the high-est overall clinical effective rate,significantly better than both the control and group Ⅰ(P<0.05,P<0.01).CCIS scores,IBDQ scores and total scores,and peripheral blood ESR levels were significantly reduced in all four groups(P<0.01),with group Ⅱ having the low-est score,lower than both the control and group Ⅰ(P<0.05,P<0.01).CRP levels were significantly reduced in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ(P<0.05,P<0.01),both lower than the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01),with group Ⅱ lower than group Ⅰ(P<0.01).Intestinal symptom scores in the IBDQ of groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ were significantly higher than those in the control group and group Ⅰ(P<0.05,P<0.01).The maximum resting pressure of the anal canal,rectal defecation threshold,and maximum tolerance capacity all increased significantly in the four groups(P<0.05,P<0.01),but there were no significant differences among the groups(P>0.05).During the treatment,two cases of mild skin redness occurred in group Ⅲ,which resolved after treatment,with no serious adverse reactions.CONCLUSION Ginger moxibustion in the treatment of Crohn's disease complicated by fecal incontinence exhibits a time-effect relationship,with 40 minutes as the optimal duration.It can effectively improve symptoms,control inflammation,enhance quality of life,and has good safety.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of systemic immune inflammation index for the efficacyof neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple negative breast cancer patients, and analyzed the relationship between pathological complete response (pCR) and prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 146 patients with triple-negative breast cancer admitted to the 926th Hospital of the Joint Service Support Force of the PLA from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively collected. All patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. After chemotherapy, the patients were divided into pCR group (62 cases) and non-pCR group (84 cases) according to whether the patients achieved pCR. Pathological characteristics and systemic immunoinflammatory index levels of the two groups were compared. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of systemic immunoinflammatory index for pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with triple-negative breast cancer, and survival curves were drawn to compare the disease-free survival of the two groups.Results:The rate of axillary lymph node metastasis in pCR group was lower than that in non-pCR group: 37.10% (23/62) vs. 64.29% (54/84), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 10.58, P<0.01). There were no significant differences in TNM stage, Ki-67 level and histological grade between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with the non -pCR group, the systemic immune inflammation index in the pCR group was significantly reduced: 617.42 ± 166.40 vs. 853.67 ± 202.41, P<0.01. Systemic immune inflammation index was valuable in predicting non-pCR of triple negative breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and the area under the curve was 0.807 (95% CI: 0.738 - 0.875, P<0.01). Compared with the non-pCR group, the disease-free survival of patients in the pCR group was significantly prolonged ( P = 0.033). Conclusions:Systemic immune inflammation index was related to the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple negative breast cancer patients, and can be used as a biological indicator to predict the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple negative breast cancer.
