ObjectiveTo investigate the role and mechanism of Go-Ichi-Ni-San complex subunit 1 （GINS1） in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） and the development of chemotherapy resistance. MethodsThe tumor database GEPIA2 was used to analyze the differential expression of GINS1 between HCC patients and healthy individuals， and pathological tissue samples were collected from 40 HCC patients who were admitted to The Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from May 2017 to January 2021. Immunohistochemical staining was used to measure the difference in the expression of GINS1 between HCC tissue and corresponding adjacent tissue， and the correlation between the expression level of GINS1 and the clinical TNM stage of HCC was analyzed. Western blot was also used to measure the difference in the expression of GINS1 between HCC Huh7/Hep3B/Li-7/MHCC97H cell lines and normal human QSG7701 hepatocytes. The method of lentivirus transfection was used to establish the MHCC97H cell line with stable GINS1 knockdown and its negative control cell line. CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay were used to measure cell proliferative capacity； scratch assay was used to measure cell migration ability； Transwell assay was used to measure cell invasion ability； cells were treated with oxaliplatin to measure their sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs. Nude mice were used to establish a tumor-bearing model and observe the effect of GINS1 knockdown on the growth of HCC in vivo. Western Blot was used to measure the expression levels of the proteins associated with the Notch pathway and the JAK/STAT pathway. The cells were treated with the Notch receptor agonist Jagged-1 to analyze the association between GINS1 and the Notch/JAK/STAT pathway. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups； a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsThe expression of GINS1 was upregulated in HCC patients， HCC tissue， and HCC cell lines （all P<0.05）， and the expression level of GINS1 was positively correlated with the clinical TNM stage of HCC （r=0.822， P=0.011）. Compared with the negative control cells， the GINS1-knockdown MHCC97H cells showed significant reductions in proliferation， migration， and invasion activities （all P<0.01） and a significantly enhanced sensitivity to oxaliplatin （P<0.01）. Compared with the nude mice in the control group， GINS1 knockdown caused significant inhibition of tumor weight and volume in vivo in nude mice （all P<0.001）. Compared with the negative control cells， the GINS1-knockdown MHCC97H cells showed significant reductions in the expression levels of Notch1， Notch3， p-JAK2， and p-STAT3 （all P<0.05）， while there were no significant differences in the overall expression levels of JAK2 and STAT3 （P>0.05）. After Jagged-1 treatment， the GINS1-knockdown MHCC97H cells showed significant increases in proliferation， migration， and invasion activities and a significant reduction in sensitivity to oxaliplatin， as well as significant increases in the levels of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 （all P<0.05）. ConclusionGINS1 is upregulated in HCC and can promote HCC progression and chemotherapy resistance through the Notch/JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Objective To investigate the regulation of LINC01667 on fatty acid binding protein 5(FABP5)and its effect on fatty acid metabolism in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)cells.Methods Based on the dual luciferase reporter assay,the binding ability of LINC01667 to FABP5 promoter and its regulatory effect on promoter activity were detected..In addition,the effects of overexpression of LINC01667 on the content of in-tracellular lipid droplets in HCC cells and on the cellular free fatty acid uptake capacity were detected by Nile red staining and free fatty acid uptake assay,respectively.The effect of LINC01667/FABP5 on the migration and invasion of HCC cells was observed by Transwell experiment.Results LINC01667 could bind to FABP5 promoter and up-regulate FABP5 expression(P＜0.05).Overexpression of LINC01667 could enhance the ac-cumulation of lipid droplets in HepG2 and HuH7 cells and enhance the uptake of free fatty acids(P＜0.05).After targeted inhibition of FABP5,the enhancement of free fatty acid uptake of HCC cells mediated by LINC01667 and its migration and invasion ability were significantly weakened(P＜0.01).Conclusion LINC01667 could remodel the fatty acid metabolism of HCC cells through the up-regulation of FABP5,and then promote the malignant process of HCC.

Iodine is an indispensable trace element in the human body and its intake level is closely related to thyroid function. Iodine deficiency or iodine excess will lead to iodine-related diseases. The implementation of the universal salt iodization policy of China has achieved remarkable results, yet it is still facing the problems of iodine deficiency and iodine excess at present. Since iodine in the human body is mainly metabolized by the kidneys and excreted in urine, urinary iodine test has become an effective way to reflect the recent iodine nutrition status of the body. This article will discuss the current iodine nutrition status of the population in China, the hazards of iodine deficiency and iodine excess, as well as the clinical application of urinary iodine test.

With the improvement of diagnosis and treatment level, most breast cancer patients survive in a chronic state for a long time, and the issue of concomitant diseases of breast cancer (CDBC) has become increasingly prominent. All-round and full-cycle management of these comorbidities can help improve patients’ quality of life and prognosis. General practice, with its long-term, comprehensive and responsible health care that is person-centered, family-based, community-wide and oriented to the maintenance and promotion of overall health, presents new opportunities for the health management of CDBC. This article will explore the application of consultation-liaison general practice through the integrated general and specialist care in the comprehensive management of CDBC, aiming to raise people’s awareness of it and promote the development of consultation-liaison general practice and the management model of the "Internet plus general practitioner team" , which will surely contribute to the all-round management of concomitant diseases in breast cancer patients.

Parathyromegaly refers to chronic enlargement of the parathyroid glands caused by multiple etiological factors. Pathological conditions, such as hyperparathyroidism, parathyroid hyperfunction, parathyroid adenoma, parathyroid cysts, and parathyroid carcinoma may all lead to parathyromegaly. Notably, calcium intake insufficiency and/or vitamin D insufficiency (CVI), which is the predominant etiology of parathyromegaly, now has been recognized as a global public health challenge. Chronic CVI induces negative calcium balance and relative low serum calcium level, stimulating compensatory parathyroid hyperplasia and enlargement. This progression triggers parathyroid hyperfunction and secondary hyperparathyroidism, resulting in bone mass loss, height reduction, kyphosis, osteoporosis, pathological fractures, metastatic vascular calcification and systemic abnormal calcium migration and calcinosis (such as urolithiasis). During the early stages of parathyromegaly, the condition remains preventable and treatable; However, delayed intervention may lead to irreversible tertiary hyperparathyroidism. CVI-associated parathyromegaly exhibits high prevalence and heterogeneous clinical manifestations, representing a critically underrecognized clinical entity. This article will systematically discuss the etiology, pathological characteristics, clinical consequences, and prevention and control strategies for CVI-related parathyromegaly.

Patients with initially diagnosed breast cancer and uncontrolled hyperthyroidism are at high risk of perioperative thyroid crisis. This article reports two cases of early-stage breast cancer initially diagnosed concurrently with uncontrolled primary hyperthyroidism. In Case 1, the patient received neoadjuvant chemotherapy to control breast cancer progression while concurrently taking antithyroid drugs to manage hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism was controlled during chemotherapy, and the patient successfully underwent surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Case 2 involved recurrent primary hyperthyroidism with leukopenia after antithyroid drug therapy. Since leukopenia is a relative contraindication for antithyroid drugs, the patient underwent radioactive iodine therapy (iodine-131) and endocrine therapy for one month before proceeding with breast cancer surgery. Through a literature review, this article analyzes preoperative management strategies for uncontrolled hyperthyroidism in initially diagnosed breast cancer patients, emphasizing the importance of normalizing thyroid function to prevent thyroid crisis and reduce perioperative risks.
