Objective: To understand the awareness of chikungunya fever knowledge and its related factors among medical college students in Baise City, so as to provide a scientific basis to offer relevant courses and special education. Methods: From July to August 2025, 7 286 enrolled medical students were selected by a sampling method from a medical college in Baise City to participate in the questionnaire survey. The questionnaire covered epidemiological characteristics, clinical symptoms, and prevention/control knowledge of chikungunya fever. Statistical analyses including the Chi quare test and multivariate Logistic regression models were performed. Results: The overall awareness rate of chikungunya fever knowledge among the medical students was 18.89%. Among the knowledge items, the awareness rate of "the high incidence season" was the highest (84.05%), while that of "the infectious period" was the lowest (17.80%). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that medical students with female (a OR= 1.37 , 95%CI =1.20- 1.57 ), the age for over 25 years old (a OR=1.76, 95%CI =1.05-2.93), whose father had a middle school educational level (a OR=1.18, 95%CI =1.05-1.31), and majored in preventive medicine (a OR=1.54, 95%CI =1.10-1.67) had relatively higher awareness rates of chikungunya fever knowledge (all P <0.05). In contrast, students of Zhuang ethnicity (a OR= 0.87 , 95%CI =0.76-0.98) and majoring in nursing (a OR=0.74, 95%CI =0.61-0.91) or pharmacy (a OR=0.70, 95%CI =0.52-0.95) had relatively lower awareness rates (all P <0.05). Conclusions The awareness rate of chikungunya fever related knowledge among medical college students in Baise City is relatively low. Schools should take targeted publicity measures to improve medical students awareness.

The Huangdi Neijing proposes the " using bitter herbs to nourish or purge" theory to guide clinical prescription and formulation of herbal remedies based on the physiological characteristics and functions of the five zang viscera, along with the properties and flavors of medicinal herbs. This study explored diabetic kidney disease pathogenesis and treatment based on the " using bitter herbs to nourish or purge" theory. Kidney dryness is a key pathological factor in diabetic kidney disease, and the disharmony of kidney dryness is an essential aspect of its pathogenesis. Strengthening is the primary therapeutic principle, and kidney dryness is a persistent factor throughout the occurrence and progression of diabetic kidney disease. In the early stage, the pathogenesis involves heat-consuming qi and injuring yin, leading to kidney dryness. In the middle stage, the pathogenesis manifests as qi deficiency and blood stasis in the collaterals, resulting in turbidity owing to kidney dryness. In the late stage, the pathogenesis involves yin and yang deficiency, with kidney dryness and disharmony. This study proposes the staging-based treatment based on the " need for firmness" characteristic of the kidney. The aim is to provide new insights for clinical diagnosis and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine by rationally using pungent, bitter, and salty medicinal herbs to nourish and moisturize the kidney. This approach seeks to promote precise syndrome differentiation and personalized treatment for different stages of diabetic kidney disease, thereby enhancing clinical efficacy.

Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy is the standard surgical procedure for treating right-sided colon cancer,yet its complex anatomical layers and technically demanding operations pose significant challenges to surgeons'expertise.Currently,surgical skill assessment in clinical practice still predominantly relies on subjective expert evaluation,an approach inherently limited by low efficiency and inconsistent standards.With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence(AI)technologies(particularly breakthroughs in computer vision and deep learning algorithms),a revolutionary technical foundation has been established for developing objective and precise automated surgical evaluation systems.This article comprehensively reviewed the current clinical application status of right hemicolectomy in China,thoroughly examined the clinical necessity and technical feasibility of constructing an intelligent surgical assessment system,and systematically presented our center's cutting-edge research achievements in this field.Looking ahead,AI-driven intelligent evaluation systems are expected to standardize and quantify surgical skill assessment.Such innovation will not only transform surgical training programs and enhance the quality of multicenter clinical research,but also promote the standardization of precision surgical protocols.This advancement holds significant clinical value and societal importance by improving long-term patient outcomes and fostering more equitable distribution of medical resources.

Objective:To explore the surgical strategies and clinical efficacy of open partial nephrectomy in the treatment of renal angiomyolipoma (AML) with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 5 patients with renal AML and inferior vena cava tumor thrombus who underwent partial nephrectomy at Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from October 2014 to December 2022. There were 2 male and 3 female patients, with a median age of 37 years, ranged from 33 to 45 years. All patients were identified during routine physical examinations. Four patients presented with right-sided lesions, while one had a left-sided lesion. The diameter of the primary tumor within the kidney ranged from 3.0 to 7.0 cm, with a median diameter of 5.5 cm.The length of the tumor thrombus within the inferior vena cava ranged from 1.0 to 6.0 cm, with a median length of 1.5 cm. Among them, 2 patients underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy combined with extracorporeal workbench tumor resection and autologous kidney transplantation (the workbench surgery group), while 3 patients underwent open in-situ partial nephrectomy combined with removal of inferior vena cava tumor thrombus (the in-situ nephron-sparing surgery group). The surgical method of the workbench surgery group: The patients first underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy on the affected side combined with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus removal, then the incision was extended to remove the affected kidney, and table partial nephrectomy was performed. After completely removing the tumor and tumor thrombus within the affected kidney and renal vein, autologous kidney transplantation was performed in the iliac fossa. The surgical method of the in-situ kidney preservation surgery group: The affected kidney, renal artery and vein on the affected side, inferior vena cava, and contralateral renal vein were dissected and exposed. The distal end of the inferior vena cava, the contralateral renal vein, the proximal end of the inferior vena cava, and the renal artery on the affected side were blocked respectively. The venous wall was opened in the middle of the renal vein, and the tumor thrombus was gradually pulled out. According to the pre-marked tumor boundary, the tumor within the kidney was gradually removed by alternate blunt and sharp dissection combined with suction, and the wound surface was sutured layer by layer. The perioperative conditions, complications, and follow-up results of the patients were analyzed.Results:All 5 surgeries were successfully completed, with a median operation time of 100 to 450 minutes and a median operation time of 200 minutes. The intraoperative bleeding volume was 100 to 600 ml, with the median of 150 ml. In the in-situ nephron-sparing surgery group, the renal artery occlusion time was 28 to 41 minutes, and the median occlusion time was 34 minutes. All patients were discharged safely after surgery, and there were no serious perioperative complications. The postoperative pathology of all 5 patients was renal angiomyolipoma, without any epithelioid components. The patients were followed up for 12 to 90 months, with a median follow-up duration of 24 months. None of the 5 patients had tumor recurrence or metastasis, and no patient developed chronic kidney dysfunction during follow-ups.Conclusions:Renal AML with venous tumor thrombus is a challenging clinical problem. In situ open partial nephrectomy or the combined approach through the workbench and autologous kidney transplantation can effectively remove the tumor thrombus and maximize the protection of renal function. For cases of ① multiple or complex renal AML; ② complex vascular system structure within the renal sinus requiring precise anatomy; ③ renal AML with a previous history of hemorrhage, complex adhesions around, and difficult dissociation, table partial nephrectomy combined with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus removal and autologous kidney transplantation can be selected. For cases where the expected surgical operation is simple, in situ open partial nephrectomy can significantly shorten the operation time and reduce surgical trauma.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the BCL2 family protein BIM and ibrutinib resistance in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and to analyze its regulatory mechanisms on apoptosis and autophagy.Methods:RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to examine changes in the expression of BCL2 family proteins in samples from patients with CLL, MEC1 cell lines, and ibrutinib-resistant cell lines (MR). Western blot was used to analyze changes in BIM protein expression during apoptosis in MR. shRNA knockdown was used to assess the effects of BIM on cell proliferation and apoptosis. RNA-seq and the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine treatment were used to study autophagy-related changes in MR.Results:BIM expression was significantly downregulated before and after drug resistance in CLL primary cells and MEC1 cell lines ( P<0.0001). Knockdown of BIM in CLL cells inhibited ibrutinib-induced apoptosis and promoted cell proliferation ( P<0.05 for both). In addition, protective autophagy was increased in MR and apoptosis was increased after administration of chloroquine and small interfering RNA. The increased expression of LC3-Ⅱ protein in BIM-knockdown cell lines ( P<0.01) suggested that reduction of BIM may mediate autophagy activation. Conclusion:Downregulation of BIM may be a key factor in promoting ibrutinib resistance in CLL by activating protective autophagy. These findings provided a potential target for improving CLL treatment.

Objective To explore the optimization strategy of Qishen Granules in treating coronary heart disease with heart failure(CHD-HF)based on data mining and the pathogenic"toxin"theory,and to predict its active components and mechanisms using network pharmacology.Methods Literature on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)for treating CHD-HF was collected from relevant databases,and prescriptions were screened and established into a database according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.Frequency,association rules,and hierarchical clustering analyses were performed using the Ancient and Modern Medical Case Cloud Platform.Network pharmacology techniques were applied to screen potential targets of the optimized combination for treating CHD-HF,and carry out the targets and pathways enrichment analysis.Results A total of 336 articles and 339 prescriptions involving 191 herbs were included,with 12 herbs used more than 100 times.The core drug combinations for treating CHD-HF included Astragali Radix,Poria,Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma,Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma,Chuanxiong Rhizoma,etc,while commonly used detoxifying herbs included Leonuri Herb,Coptidis Rhizoma,etc.Association rule analysis yielded 10 two-item associations and 17 three-item associations;clustering analysis grouped the data into 5 categories.Based on data mining and the pathogenic"toxin"theory,the combination for treating CHD-HF was optimized to include Astragali Radix,Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma,Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata,Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma,Coptidis Rhizoma,and Taraxaci Herba.Network pharmacology analysis identified 366 common targets between the optimized combination and CHD-HF,with 16 core targets screened out.Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)analysis revealed significant enrichment in pathways such as cancer pathways,lipid and atherosclerosis,Rap1 signaling pathway,hypoxia-inducible factor 1(HIF-1)signaling pathway,phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/Akt)signaling pathway,Ras signaling pathway,and mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signaling pathway.Conclusion TCM treatment for CHD-HF primarily focuses on replenishing qi and warming yang,activating blood circulation and resolving fluid retention.Based on data mining results and the pathogenic"toxin"theory,the formulation strategy of Qishen Granules for treating CHD-HF was optimized,potentially exerting therapeutic effects through anti-inflammatory,anti-apoptotic,and anti-hypoxia physiological processes.

Obesity usually exacerbates the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME), hindering CD8⁺ T cell infiltration and function, which further represents a significant barrier to the efficacy of immunotherapy. Herein, a multifunctional liposomal system (CR-Lip) for encapsulating celastrol (CEL) was utilized to remodel obesity-related ITME and improve cancer immunotherapy, wherein Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) was detected interspersed in the phospholipid bilayer and its glycosyl exposed on the surface of the liposome. CR-Lip had a relatively uniform size (116.5 nm), facilitating favorable tumor tissue accumulation through the interaction between Rg3 and glucose transporter 1 overexpressed in obese tumor cells. Upon reaching the tumor region, CR-Lip was found to induce the immunogenic cell death (ICD) of HFD tumor cells. Notably, the level of PHD3 in HFD tumor cells was effectively boosted by CR-Lip to effectively block metabolic reprogramming and increase the availability of major free fatty acids fuel sources. In vivo, experiments studies revealed that the easy-obtained nano platform stimulated enhanced the production of various cytokines in tumor tissues, DC maturation, CD8⁺ T-cell infiltration, and synergistic anticancer therapeutic potency with aPD-1 (tumor inhibition rate = 82.1%) towards obesity-related melanoma. Consequently, this study presented an efficacious approach to tumor immunotherapy in obese mice by encompassing tumor eradication, inducing ICD, and reprogramming metabolism. Furthermore, it offered a unique insight into a valuable attempt at the immunotherapy of obesity-associated related tumors.

Objective To explore the effect and preliminary mechanism of the plant-derived immunostimulatory molecule,ophiopogonin,on enhancing the immune response of a subunit vaccine with the receptor-binding domain(RBD)of coronavirus spike protein as the antigen.Methods CCK-8 assay was used to determine the cytotoxicity of ophiopogonin D'(OPD')on bone marrow-derived dendritic cells(BMDCs).Female Balb/c mice were randomly divided into RBD,RBD/OPD',RBD/Alum,and control groups.The immunization dose was 5 μg of antigen per mouse and 100 μg of adjuvant per mouse,and immunization was carried out according to the intramuscular injection immunization procedure on days 0,21,and 42.The titers of specific IgG and its subtype antibodies were detected by ELISA.The cytokine levels in the supernatant of splenocytes were detected using ELISA.The number of splenocytes secreting IFN-γ was detected by ELISpot.Laser confocal microscopy was employed to observe the uptake of antigen by BMDCs.The phagocytic ability of BMDCs for antigen was quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometry.The mechanism of its enhanced immune effect was preliminarily explored using transcriptomics technology combined with bioinformatics research.Results When the concentration of OPD'was less than 5 μg/mL,the survival rate of BMDCs was 100%.After a single intramuscular injection in mice,except for a slight decrease in body weight,the other biochemical indicators were within corresponding normal ranges.After intramuscular injection immunization of the vaccine,the titers of serum-specific IgG,IgG1,and IgG2a in the RBD/OPD'group were significantly higher than those in the RBD group(P<0.05).Compared with the RBD group,the RBD/OPD'group induced a high-level Th1 cell immune response of IL-1β,TNF-α,and IFN-γ(P<0.01)and had more lymphocytes secreting IFN-γ(P<0.001).Laser confocal microscopy displayed that BMDCs took up more antigens after OPD'treatment,which was further confirmed with flow cytometry in quantitative analysis on antigen uptake rate(P<0.01).Transcriptomics results indicated that there was more significant enrichment of the PPAR signaling pathway in the RBD/OPD'group than the RBD group,suggesting that OPD'may activate the PPAR signaling pathway to exert its adjuvant effect.Conclusion OPD'effectively enhances the immune response of the RBD subunit vaccine,and its action mechanism may be related to the activation of the PPAR signaling pathway.
