Objective:To share our experience of single-port transoral Da Vinci robotic surgery for laryngeal and pharyngeal benign tumors.Methods:Three patients aged over 18 years and diagnosed respectively with epiglottic cyst, aryepiglottic fold cyst and thyroglossal duct cyst at tongue base were included who received operations in Hainan Hospital of Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (Boao Research Hospital of Hainan) between August 1, 2023 and April 10, 2024. There were 1 male and 2 females, with an average age of 59 years old. The clinical diagnosis of these 3 patients was respectively epiglottic cyst, aryepiglottic fold cyst and thyroglossal duct cyst at tongue base. Intraoperative conversion rate, blood loss, operation time, hospital stay, pain score and swallowing function score were analyzed.Results:All three patients successfully underwent the operations with the single-port Da Vinci robotic system. The clean-contaminated resection rate of the tumors was 100%. The conversion rate was nil. The blood loss was 0-7 ml. The operation time was 5-30 minutes. There were no adverse events such as loosening of teeth and soft tissue abrasions of pharyngeal side wall. The rate of oral feeding within 24 hours after surgery was 100%. No postoperative coughing, bleeding, or dyspnea occurred. The average length of hospital stay was 3.7 days. The VAS score decreased 3 days after surgery compared to 1 day after surgery. The swallowing function recovered 1 month after surgery.Conclusion:The single-port transoral robotic surgery for laryngeal and pharyngeal benign lesions is safe and efficient, with fewer complications.

Objective: To investigate the expression，prognosis and biological role of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4A (HNF4A) in gastric cancer，and to study its effect on the proliferation of gastric cancer cells． Methods: Tumor Immune Estimation Resource 2. 0 (TIMER2. 0) and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis ( GEPIA2) databases were used to analyze the relative expression levels of HNF4A in gastric cancer and normal tissue，KM Plotter was used to analyze the correlation between the expression level of HNF4A and the survival rate of gastric cancer patients，TISIDB database and R language (4. 1. 2) were used to analyze whether HNF4A was involved in the immune regulation process of gastric cancer．cBioPortal database was used to analyze the mutations of HNF4A in gastric cancer，GSEA 4. 2 was used to analyze the functional enrichment of HNF4A，and LinkedOmics database was used to predict the genes that might be regulated by HNF4A．The relative expression of HNF4A in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues was detected by qRT-PCR , Western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC) ．The proliferation and cell cycle of gastric cancer cells were analyzed by CCK-8，EdU，colony forming assay and flow cytometry. Results : The expression of HNF4A increased in gastric cancer tissues (P ＜0. 05) ，and the overall survival rate of gastric cancer patients with high HNF4A expression was worse (P＜0. 001) ．HNF4A was mainly missense mutated in gastric cancer．Immune cell infiltration showed that HNF4A was associated with B lymphocytes，CD8 + T cells， neutrophils，macrophages and dendritic cells ( all P ＜0. 001) ． HNF4A was also associated with tumor mutation burden (r = 0. 28，P＜0. 0001) and microsatellite instability (r = 0. 13，P＜0. 01) ．After knockdown of HNF4A， cell proliferation ability was significantly inhibited ，and cell cycle was arrested at G0 / G1 phase． Conclusion HNF4A expression significantly increased in gastric cancer tissues，which is associated with poor prognosis ，and may also be involved in immune regulation． Knockdown of HNF4A can inhibit the proliferation of gastric cancer cells.

Objective: To determine the levels of vitamin D in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Shenzhen and identify the influencing factors of vitamin D levels and key groups of vitamin D deficiency, so as to provide a scientific basis for tuberculosis- and nutrition-related health education and promotion in Shenzhen. Methods: Patients with smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis who were diagnosed in 2016 were selected as the research subjects. Their relevant information and blood samples were collected, and the sample pool was established according to the inclusion criteria. One hundred and twenty patients were selected based on simple random sampling, including 84 men (70.0%) and 36 women (30.0%). Blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations were measured using chemiluminescence technology. Vitamin D statuses in patients were statistically described, and vitamin D levels in patients with different characteristics were compared. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to identify important factors influencing vitamin D levels in patients. Results: Mean serum concentration of 25(OH)D in 120 patients was (40.2±16.0) nmol/L. There were 2 cases of vitamin D sufficiency (1.7%), 28 cases of vitamin D insufficiency (23.3%), and 90 cases of vitamin D deficiency (75.0%), of which 23 cases (19.2%) were of severe deficiency. 25(OH)D concentrations in patients with different lifestyles (indoors; indistinguishable indoors or outdoors; outdoors) were significantly different (35.3 nmol/L vs. 40.6 nmol/L vs. 49.5 nmol/L, F=8.274, P<0.001). Mean concentration of 25(OH)D in patients with sun exposure time of >30 min/d was higher compared to that in those with sun exposure time <30 min/d in the last month (46.4 nmol/L vs. 36.7 nmol/L, t=3.342, P=0.001). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the risk factors for 25(OH)D with statistical significance were Han ethnicity or not (β=-11.576, t=-1.991, P=0.049), housekeeping (including unemployment and retirement) or not (β=-6.136, t=-1.998, P=0.048), sun exposure time<30 min/d or none (β=-9.644, t=-2.829, P=0.006), body mass index (β=-2.056, t=-3.439, P=0.001) , and indoor degree of lifestyles (β=-4.419, t=-2.155, P=0.033). Conclusion Level of vitamin D is generally insufficient in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Shenzhen. It is necessary to strengthen health education related to vitamin D in patients with tuberculosis, especially in the high-risk population of vitamin D deficiency, such as in those with a lack of exposure to sunlight or high BMI.

Reactive oxygen species(ROS)and immune response play critical roles in the progression of liver dis-eases.DJ-1,also known as Parkinson disease 7(Park7),is extensively expressed in cells and tissues,where it governs numerous biological functions including chaperone activity,protease function,tran-scriptional and mitochondrial regulation,and ROS modulation.Moreover,we have established that DJ-1 plays a critical role in initiating an inflammatory response by modulating ROS generation.Therefore,DJ-1 may play an important role in the progression of liver diseases by modulating ROS and the immune response.Recently,we have shown that DJ-1 deficiency negatively regulates proliferation of hepatic progenitor cells(HPCs)by impairing the formation of HPC-associated fibrosis and inflammatory niches.Deficiency of DJ-1 ameliorates liver fibrosis by inhibiting hepatic ROS production and inflammation;moreover,in a classic diethylnitrosamine(DEN)-mediated hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)mouse model,deletion of DJ-1 ameliorates tumorigenesis and HCC cell proliferation by regulating hepatic inflammation and reducing the activity of the interleukin 6/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(IL-6/STAT3)signaling pathway.Taken together,these data suggest a critical function for,and therapeutic value of,DJ-1 in treatment of liver diseases.The aim of this review is to summarize these functions and the underlying molecular mechanisms of DJ-1 in liver diseases,and to highlight the potential therapeutic value and future research direction of DJ-1 in liver diseases.

Objective To explore the clinicopathological features and diagnosis of adenoid cystic carci noma of the breast (ACCB).Methods Clinical data of 3 cases of ACCB were collected and followed up to observe the clinical pathological features.Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the immune phenotype.Results All the 3 cases were female,aging from 55 to 72 years old (61 years old as the average).The tumors were found in subareolar region well-circumscribed.ACCB was characterized by the presence of a dual cell population of luminal and basaloid cells arranged in cribriform and tubular-trabecular patterns.On immunohistochemical staining,the myoepithelial cells expressed SMA,CK5/6,P63,CD117 and the glandular epithelium cells were mostly positive for CK18,EMA,CK7,while no expression of ER,PR,HER-2,CD10 was observed.Conclusions ACCB is a rare neoplasm with a triple-negative,basal-like phenotype,but exhibits an indolent clinical behavior.The diagnosis can be worked out by evaluation of clinical characterstics,histological and immunohistochemical features.
