Objective Jejunal interposition is an important option for restoring gastrointestinal continuity in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable for reconstruction due to previous gastrectomy, tumor involvement, failed gastric conduit, or other constraints. Although the jejunum offers a caliber similar to the esophagus, a rich blood supply, and preserved peristaltic function, anatomical variations in mesenteric length and vascular arcades render long-segment and high-level reconstruction susceptible to excessive tension, mesenteric torsion, venous congestion, and inadequate distal perfusion. This consensus aims to provide standardized recommendations for the application of jejunal interposition in this specific patient population. Methods This consensus was developed in accordance with the WHO Handbook for Guideline Development and Chinese national guideline development standards, with reference to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation Ⅱ(AGREE Ⅱ), Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT), and Scientific, Transparent and Applicable Rankings (STAR) checklists. The project was registered on the international practice guidelines registry platform (PREPARE-2026CN1384). The working group systematically searched Chinese and English evidence addressing 12 clinical questions. Evidence was graded using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (OCEBM) 2009 system, with structured appraisal of risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness, and imprecision. Recommendations were formulated through two rounds of Delphi surveys and a face-to-face consensus meeting, with an agreement threshold of ≥75%. Results The consensus generated 12 recommendations covering indications, selection between jejunum and colon, preoperative assessment, surgical approach and reconstruction route, pedicled jejunal interposition (PJI), supercharged pedicled jejunal interposition (SPJ), indocyanine green (ICG) perfusion assessment, perioperative nutrition, management of anastomotic leakage, long-term follow-up, and special treatment scenarios. Given that the available direct evidence is predominantly derived from single-center retrospective cohorts and case series, recommendations extrapolated from general esophagectomy or other gastrointestinal surgical evidence are deliberately phrased with caution. Conclusion Jejunal interposition is a safe and effective approach for digestive tract reconstruction in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable. This consensus emphasizes that clinical decision-making should be individualized based on the patient's prior treatment history, reconstruction height, vascular anatomy, technical availability, and institutional experience in the Chinese context.

Objective:To investigate the status of medical care seeking delay and diagnosis delay of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients in Tongzhou District and Changping District of Beijing, analyze the related factors and put forward suggestions for early detection and scientific management of PTB patients.Methods:A retrospective epidemiological survey was conducted to collect the incidence data of PTB registered in Tongzhou and Changping from January 1 to December 31, 2021 by using the Chinese Tuberculosis Information Management System, and telephone interview were used for information supplement. Multivariate logistic regression model and decision tree model were used to analyze the influencing factors of medical care seeking delay and diagnosis delay of PTB patients.Results:In 2021, the medical care seeking delay time M( Q1, Q3) in the PTB patients in Tongzhou and Changping was 11 (5, 26) days, with a delay rate of 41.71%. Results from multivariate logistic regression model analysis revealed that factors influencing the medical care seeking delay included regular health check-up ( OR=0.033, 95% CI: 0.008-0.147), coughing for less than 2 weeks or showing any symptom of PTB before medical care seeking ( OR=0.378, 95% CI: 0.215-0.665), showing other symptoms before medical care seeking( OR=2.791, 95% CI: 1.710-4.555), no work or school in medical care seeking ( OR=2.990, 95% CI: 1.419-6.298). The diagnosis delay time M( Q1, Q3) in the PTB patients was 8 (0, 18) days, with a delay rate of 35.20%. Multivariate logistic regression model analysis revealed that the factors influencing the diagnosis delay of PTB included being diagnosed at a specialized tuberculosis hospital ( OR=0.426, 95% CI: 0.236-0.767) or a tuberculosis prevention and control institution ( OR=1.843, 95% CI: 1.061-3.202) and being traced as a source of infection ( OR=2.632, 95% CI: 1.062-6.521). The overall performance of the multivariate logistic regression model was comparable to that of the decision tree model, with the decision tree model exhibiting higher sensitivity but lower specificity. Conclusions:The medical care seeking delay rate and diagnosis delay rate of tuberculosis in Tongzhou and Changping were at low levels in 2021. However, it is still necessary to strengthen the health education and active screening, improve the public awareness of PTB prevention and control, and further improve the level of medical services and medical access to reduce the medical care seeking delay and diagnosis delay of PTB patients.

Lactic acid bacteria(LAB)were isolated and cultivated from the intestinal contents of rabbits by MRS-CaCO3 solid medium.Identification was achieved through morphological observa-tion,Gram staining,physiological and biochemical characterisation,16S rDNA sequence analysis,and ERIC-PCR analysis.Strains displaying typical Lactobacilli characteristics were exanimated for their biological characteristics,resistance properties,adherence capacity in vitro,colonization abili-ty in vivo,and safety profile.In this study,a total of four strains of Lactobacillus reuteri were iso-lated from rabbits,all of which exhibited typical biological characteristics of LAB.These strains demonstrated inhibitory effects on common pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract,with the primary inhibitory substance being bacteriocin.Furthermore,they showed sensitivity to chlor-amphenicol,rifampicin,and erythromycin,and displayed a degree of tolerance to gastrointestinal conditions and high temperature.These stains were capable of successful colonization in rabbits with a higher degree of safety.This study lays a foundation for the development of LAB prepara-tions for the prevention and treatment of rabbit intestinal diseases.

Objective To establish a method for simultaneous determination of 14 components in Cinnamomi Cortex;To comprehensively evaluate its quality by multivariate statistical analysis technology.Methods HPLC method was used to establish the relative correction factors(RCF)between protocatechuic acid and 13 other components of coumalic acid,coumarin,cinnamyl alcohol,cinnamic acid,2-methoxycinnamic acid,cinnamaldehyde,o-methoxycinnamaldehyde,vanillic,syringic acid,4-hydroxybenzoic acid,procyanidin B2,epicatechin and procyanidin C1 to be measured,and the content of each component was calculated.The QAMS method was validated using external standard method(ESM),and the comprehensive quality of Cinnamomi Cortex was evaluated using PCA,OPLS-DA and EW-TOPSIS methods.Results The methodological verification results of ESM were in accordance with the requirements;the RCF established with protocatechuic acid as the reference had good durability under different experimental conditions,and the difference in content of each component between ESM and QAMS was not significant(P>0.05);the results of multivariate statistical analysis showed that accumulative contribution rate of former 2 principle components was 90.312%.Cinnamaldehyde,2-methoxycinnamic acid,procyanidin B2 and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid had a significant impact on the quality of Cinnamomi Cortex.The results of EW-TOPSIS showed that the Pi value of 16 batches of Cinnamomi Cortex ranged from 0.147 2 to 0.768 1.The quality of Cinnamomi Cortex from different producing areas varied greatly,and the overall quality of Cinnamomi Cortex from Guangxi Province was the best,followed by that from Guangdong Province and Yunnan Province,and the quality of Cinnamomi Cortex from Fujian Province was relatively poor.Conclusion The established QAMS multi-component quantitative method combined with multivariate statistical analysis technology can be used for comprehensive quality evaluation of Cinnamomi Cortex.

Objective: As a gate-keeper enzyme link, pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 subunit alpha (PDHA1) functions as a key regulator during glycolysis and the mitochondrial citric acid cycle, which has been reported in several tumors. Nevertheless, the effects of PDHA1 on biological behaviors and metabolism remain unclear in cervical cancer (CC) cells. The study aims to explore the PDHA1 effects on glucose metabolism in CC cells and its possible mechanism. Methods: We first determined the expression levels of PDHA1 and activating protein 2 alpha (AP2α) as a PDHA1 potential transcription factor. The effects of PDHA1 in vivo were evaluated through a subcutaneous xenograft mouse model. Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) labeling assay, Transwell invasion assay, wound healing assay, Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay and flow cytometry were performed in CC cells. Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) levels were determined to reflect aerobic glycolysis level in gastric cancer cells. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was measured with 2′, 7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate kit. The relationship between PDHA1 and AP2α was examined by conducting chromatin immunoprecipitation assay and electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Results: In CC tissues and cell lines, PDHA1 was downregulated, while AP2α was upregulated. Overexpression of PDHA1 remarkedly inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of CC cells, and tumor growth in vivo, as well as promoted OCR, apoptosis and ROS production. Moreover, AP2α directly bound to PDHA1 within suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 promoter region to negatively regulate PDHA1 expression level. What is more, PDHA1 knockdown could effectively reversed the AP2α silencing-mediated suppressive effects on cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and the promotive effects of AP2α knockdown on OCR, apoptosis and ROS production. Conclusions Our findings demonstrate that AP2α negatively regulated PDHA1 via binding to PDHA1 gene promoter to promote malignant CC cell behaviors, which may provide a potential approach for CC therapeutics.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic value of bedside severe ultrasound in children with shock.Methods:Children who were diagnosed shock in the PICU of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from May 1, 2019 to April 31, 2020 were included in this study.Rapid ultrasound in shock (RUSH) exam was used to evaluate the morphology and function of heart, lung and abdomen of children with shock, so as to assist the diagnosis and treatment of shock.Results:Twenty-six children with shock were evaluated immediately according to the RUSH exam when they were admitted to hospital.Eight cases were diagnosed as septic shock, six cases as cardiogenic shock, six cases as hypovolemic shock and six cases as mixed shock.The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of children with cardiogenic shock was (26.5±8.24)%, and the width of inferior vena cava was greater than 10 mm.After the shock was corrected, LVEF increased to (32.17±26.11)%.However, the LVEF of children with septic shock was (73.25±1.28)% at admission and (50.12±31.41)% at shock correction.Nine cases (34.6%) found more B-lines in the lungs after fluid resuscitation for one hour in 26 children with shock.Among them, about 50% of the children with cardiogenic shock found more B-lines in their lungs one hour after fluid resuscitation, and 11 cases(57.9%) of the surviving children showed more B-lines after shock correction, but only six children could hear blisters after physical examination.Conclusion:According to RUSH exam, we can evaluate the volume status, cardiac function, volume responsiveness and focus on infection in children with shock, distinguish the type of shock earlier and more accurately, assist in guiding fluid resuscitation, and facilitate accurate and individualized fluid management and treatment of patients.

Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a group of common viruses that can infect humans and pose a great threat to global public health. Mounting evidence has shown that seven zoonotic CoVs can infect human through cross-species transmission. These continuously occurring yet unpredictable events of CoVs repeatedly crossing species barriers have attracted special attention to CoVs and caused panic worldwide. It is generally believed that the spike (S) protein is the key factor determining the cross-species transmission and the invasion potential of CoVs. This review focused on the new-found coronaviruses with potential cross-species transmission capabilities, and summarized and analyzed the research progress in S protein-mediated viral invasion as well as the potential mechanisms, aiming to provide reference for developing effective prevention and control strategies against potential cross-species transmission of CoVs in the future.

Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a group of ancient and common viruses, posing a severe threat to the health of humans and other animals. Currently, seven human CoVs (HCoVs) have been identified. They are all animal-derived zoonotic pathogens that jump the species barrier from their natural host animals to humans in a direct or indirect manner and lead to interpersonal transmission. The receptor binding domain (RBD) on the S1 subunit of CoV spike (S) protein is one of the key factors determining the cross-species transmission and the invasion potential. This review summarized and analyzed the transmission modes of seven HCoVs and the available structures of HCoV-RBD that mediated the cross-species transmission in order to better understanding the mechanism of CoV cross-species transmission and providing valuable knowledge in response to the potential cross-species transmission of novel CoVs in the future.
