Esophageal cancer is a prevalent malignant tumor of the digestive tract in China, and radical surgery remains the cornerstone of its comprehensive treatment. However, multifactorial challenges such as postoperative gastrointestinal tract reconstruction, traumatic stress, and tumor-related metabolic disturbances render esophageal cancer patients highly susceptible to malnutrition. Perioperative nutritional support therapy plays a crucial role in enhancing surgical safety, improving clinical outcomes, and elevating patients' quality of life by regulating metabolic homeostasis, preserving organ function, and optimizing the immune microenvironment. This article reviews the mechanisms underlying malnutrition in esophageal cancer, methods for nutritional status assessment, and precision intervention pathways based on multi-omics evaluations. The aim is to strengthen clinicians' awareness of standardized perioperative nutritional management for esophageal cancer patients and promote its clinical implementation, thereby facilitating postoperative recovery and improving long-term quality of life.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the neuroprotective effect and mechanism of eleutheroside B （ELB） on Parkinson’s disease （PD） model mice by regulating the IκB kinase β （IKKβ）/nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway. METHODS Fifty mice were randomly divided into normal control group， model group， positive control group （selegiline hydrochloride， 10 mg/kg）， and ELB low-dose and high-dose groups （80， 160 mg/kg）， with 10 mice in each group. Each group was given relevant medicine or normal saline intragastrically for 14 consecutive days. Starting from the 10th day of administration， the model group and all administration groups were intraperitoneally injected with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1，2，3，6-tetrahydropyridine （MPTP） 30 mg/kg， for five consecutive days to establish the chronic PD model. After the last administration for 24 h， six mice were randomly selected from each group to test their behavioral abilities； detect the levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， IL-10， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in brain tissue and their mRNA expressions were measured， and positive expression of tyrosine hydroxylase （TH）， protein expressions of TH， α -synuclein （ α -syn）， ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 （Iba-1）， as well as phosphorylation levels of IKKβ and NF-κB p65 proteins in the brain tissue were detected. The ultrastructure of neurons in substantia nigra was observed. RESULTS Compared with the model group， rotarod endurance time and climbing score of each administration group （except for the ELB low-dose group） were increased significantly （ P ＜0.05）， while the levels and mRNA expressions of IL-1β， TNF-α， α -syn， and Iba-1， as well as phosphorylation levels of IKKβ and NF-κB p65 proteins in brain tissue were decreased significantly （except for TNF-α in the ELB low-dose group）. Conversely， the level and mRNA expression of IL-10 （except for the ELB low-dose group）， TH positive expression and protein expressions were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05）. Typical neurodegenerative pathological changes， such as neuronal karyopyknosis， mitochondrial swelling and vacuolization， and endoplasmic reticulum dilation， all showed varying degrees of improvement. CONCLUSIONS ELB may exert neuroprotective effects by inhibiting the activation of the IKKβ/NF-κB signaling pathway， alleviating inflammatory responses， reducing abnormal α -syn aggregation and neuronal loss， and further improving motor dysfunction in PD mice.

Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent disease in women of childbearing age,often leading to chronic pelvic pain,infertility,ovarian cancer,and other serious complications,and jeopardizing the health of women.The pathogenesis of endometriosis is complex and involves the alteration of multiple signaling pathways mediated by hormones,immunity,genetics,and the environment,and their interactions.Wnt/β-catenin signaling is involved in the regulation of embryonic development and tissue homeostasis,and it has recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of endometriosis via multiple pathways.This review considers the biological characteristics of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and summarizes the main mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis,as well as the curr-ent research status of the regulation of this signaling pathway by traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of endometriosis.We aim to clarify how the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway affects the development of endometriosis,and suggest that future studies should focus on exploring its potential role as an indicator for the clinical prediction and early diagnosis of endometriosis,thus providing theoretical support for the early diagnosis of this condition and the development of targeted drugs.

Objective:To study genotype analysis and influence factors analysis of hepatitis B virus(HBV)deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA)positive samples of negative hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)donors in blood donors without compensation in Nan'an area.Methods:A total of 62,000 HBsAg fast-screened blood donor samples from January 2021 to June 2024 were selected as the study objects.HBV infection,viral load and genotype of HBV DNA positive samples,single factor and influencing factor of HBV DNA positive samples were detected and analyzed.Results:Among the 62000 HBsAg fast-screened blood donor samples,the results were negative by HBsAg screening,moreover,285 cases(0.46％)were HBsAg positive and 61715 cases(99.54％)were negative.NAT positive 180 cases and 118 cases were positive for HBV DNA.The HBV DNA positive rate of HBsAg negative donors was 0.19％(118/62000).HBV DNA of the viral load of positive specimens with＜20 IU/mL was higher than those with 20 to 99 IU/mL and ≥ 100 IU/mL(P＜0.05).HBV DNA of C style of the genotype of positive specimens was higher than B style and unsamples(P＜0.05).Univariate analysis found that HBV DNA positivity was mainly related to the history of intravenous drug use and risky sexual behavior,as well as the history of hepatitis B vaccination and blood transfusion(P＜0.05).According to the Logistic regression analysis,history of intravenous drug use and risky sexual behavior,and blood transfusion were risk factors for positive HBV DNA(OR＞1,P＜0.05),vaccination of hepatitis B vaccine was a protective factor for HBV DNA positivity(OR＜1,P＜0.05).Conclusion:The proportion of HBsAg in Nan'an area is relatively high,but there are still a small number of positive samples,the main genotype was type C,and history of intravenous drug use and risky risk behaviors,as well as history of blood transfusion were all risk factors for positive HBV DNA,vaccination of hepatitis B vaccine is protective factor for HBV DNA positivity.

AIM:This study aims to investigate the effect of Agaricus blazei extract FA-2-b-β on ferroptosis of Burkitt lymphoma cells and its mechanism.METHODS:Burkitt lymphoma cell lines Raji and CA46 were treated with FA-2-b-β alone and in combination with ferrostatin-1,a ferroptosis inhibitor,or Stattic,a signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)inhibitor.Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 method,and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)of FA-2-b-β was calculated.Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis,cell cycle,mitochondrial membrane potential,and reactive oxygen species(ROS).Additionally,malondialdehyde(MDA)and glutathione(GSH)levels were measured using kits.The mRNA and protein expression levels of ferroptosis-related molecules were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot.RESULTS:The extract FA-2-b-β at different concentrations significantly inhibited the proliferation of Raji and CA46 cells(P＜0.05),promoted their death,regulated cell arrest in G0/G1 phase,and decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential.(2)ROS and MDA levels were significantly increased with different concentrations of the extract FA-2-b-β(P＜0.05),while the GSH content was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).(3)The protein and mRNA levels of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3),p-STAT3,and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)were down-regulated at different concentrations of the extract FA-2-b-β.In addition,prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2(PTSG2)and transferrin receptor protein 1(TfR1)protein and mRNA were up-regulated(P＜0.05),while the protein and mRNA levels of solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11)were not significantly changed.CONCLU-SION:The extract FA-2-b-β can induce ferroptosis in burkitt lymphoma,and the mechanism may be related to the inhibi-tion of STAT3/GPX4 signaling pathway.

Objective: To explore the current status of hyperopic reserve and its related factors among non-myopia preschool and primary school students aged 5 to 12 years in Guangdong Province, so as to provide a basis for formulating intervention strategies for the pre myopia stage of children. Methods: From October to December 2023, by using stratified cluster random sampling method, a survey on hyperopic reserve among preschool children and primary school students in Guangdong were conducted. And a total of 10 567 children from the senior class of kindergarten to the sixth grade of primary school who completed autorefraction measurements with and without cycloplegia and the questionnaire survey were included in the study. The prevalence characteristics of low hyperopic reserve among non-myopia children were analyzed, and multivariable Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors. Results: The prevalence rate of low hyperopic reserve among 8 790 non-myopia children was 62.4%. The average spherical equivalent (SE) for children aged 5 to 12 years was 0.88 (0.25, 1.25)D, decreasing from 1.13 ( 0.75 , 1.50)D in senior kindergarten to -1.00 (-2.50, 0.38)D in sixth grade, with the difference was statistically significant ( H=2 475.3, P <0.01). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis, after adjusting for confounders including gender, urban and rural, and grade, revealed that parental myopia was a risk factor for low hyperopic reserve in the preschool stage (one parent with myopia: OR=1.62, 95%CI =1.35-1.93; both parents with myopia: OR=2.05, 95%CI = 1.66 -2.55); in the lower primary school stage, parental myopia (one parent with myopia: OR=1.46, 95%CI =1.27-1.68; both parents with myopia: OR=1.58, 95%CI =1.33-1.89), frequently or always reading or using electronic screens while lying down or on one s stomach ( OR=1.43, 95%CI =1.13-1.81), and never or occasionally maintaining a viewing distance of over 3 meters when watching TV/playing video games ( OR=1.34, 95%CI =1.04-1.72) were risk factors; in the higher primary school stage, failing to take a break every hour during near work ( OR=1.79, 95%CI =1.16-2.75) was a risk factor (all P <0.05). Conclusions The emmetropization of children aged 5-12 years in Guangdong Province is accelerated, and non-myopia children generally exhibit insufficient hyperopic reserve. The contributing factors for insufficient hyperopia reserve in non-myopia children vary across different educational stages, necessitating targeted precision interventions.

Objectives:The aim is to analyze the cost structure and coefficient of variation for hospitalized patients with malnutrition based on Diagnosis-Related Groups(DRG),providing a reference for the further application and promotion of DRG.Method:Data were collected from patients admitted to Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region People's Hospital between March 2023 and August 2023.A diagnostic system based on artificial intelligence was used to identify malnourished patients.The composition of hospitalization costs for these individuals was described and analyzed,as was the coefficient of variation for various costs within DRG groupings.A multivariate regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors that influence patient hospitalization costs.Results:The average age of hospitalized patients with malnutrition was(68.12±16.43)years,with an average length of stay of(14.55±8.47)days,with an average hospitalization cost of(32 128.89±35 345.61)yuan.Among patients within the same DRG group,the coefficient of variation for various costs was found to be lower in the malnutrition group than in the normal group.This suggests that when assessed individually,the malnutrition group exhibited a higher degree of homogeneity in their cost structures.The factors influencing total hospitalization costs were found to be:length of hospital stay(P=0.001),nutritional monitoring fees(P=0.020),number of chronic diseases(P=0.003),and Karnofsky Performance Status(KPS)score(P=0.038).Hospitalization costs were positively correlated with both length of stay and nutritional assessment fees,but negatively correlated with the number of chronic diseases and KPS scores.Conclusions:Malnutrition has a profound impact on health outcomes,medical expenses,length of hospital stay,and disease severity.The implementation of the DRG system aims to standardize and improve the nutritional diagnosis and treatment process by categorizing different stages of malnutrition.This approach can minimize variations within DRG groups,making it easier to allocate medical resources more precisely and efficiently.Furthermore,it is a valuable reference tool for promoting DRG payment reform in different regions.

Objective To establish and verify a mature and stable glioblastoma(GBM)organoid model,so as to provide an accurate and personalized preclinical model for the research and treatment of GBM.Methods Fresh GBM tissues obtained through surgical procedures were initially processed,and then GBM stem cells(GSCs)were isolated using stem cell culture medium and were identified.Subsequently,GSCs were cultured in organoid culture medium for 3D cultivation,and GBM organoids were successfully obtained.The histological morphology of GBM organoids was observed by hematoxylin-eosin(H-E)staining;the stemness and similarity to the parental tumor were identified by immunofluorescence staining;and the in vivo tumorigenic ability of GBM organoids was identified by orthotopic tumorigenesis experiments in nude mice.Results A total of 7 GBM organoids were constructed from 9 human GBM samples,with a morphology resembling"neurosphere",and the average duration for organoid formation was 1 week.H-E staining results showed that the histological morphology of GBM organoids under high-power microscope was very similar to that of GBM tumor tissues;immunofluorescence staining results indicated that the GBM organoids possessed stemness characteristics and histological cellular similarity;and GBM organoids had a stronger tumorigenic ability compared to ordinary GBM cells in nude mice.Conclusion This study presents a stable and reliable method for constructing GBM organoids retaining the histological characteristics of the original GBM tissue,which providing new insights for future GBM research and clinical practice.
