Estrogen receptor α36(ERα36),a splice variant of ERα66,is crucial in the pathogenesis,progression,and therapeutic resistance of female estrogen-related tumors(e.g.,breast,cervical,and endometrial cancers)as it uniquely activates non-genomic signaling pathways.This review provides a comprehensive summary of the structural features of ERα36 and its molecular mechanisms in regulating tumor prolif-eration,migration,and drug resistance via membrane-mediated pathways,including phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/AKT)and mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase(MAPK/ERK).The interaction between ERα36 and epi-dermal growth factor receptor/human epidermal growth factor receptor2(EGFR/HER2)forms a positive feedback loop that exacerbates ma-lignant transformation.High ERα36 expression is associated with decreased sensitivity to chemotherapy and resistance to tamoxifen.Recent studies have demonstrated that natural compounds and synthetic inhibitors targeting ERα36 can reverse drug resistance and suppress can-cer stem cell activity by blocking non-genomic signaling.This review provides novel insights into overcoming drug resistance and optimizing targeted therapies for female estrogen-related malignancies.

Objective To use multiple model integration to predict the potential distribution of suitable areas for Hedysari Radix in China and the main environmental factors affecting its distribution.Methods Based on 119 geographical distribution points obtained from species distribution databases,and incorporating 19 bioclimatic and topographic factors,a species distribution model was constructed using the Biomod2 software package 3.5-1 version ensemble modeling platform,integrating six algorithms including generalized linear model,gradient boosting machine,random forest,and others.Geographic information system spatial analysis methods were used to quantitatively assess the distribution characteristics of suitable habitats of Hedysari Radix under current climate conditions and under future climate scenarios,while identifying the primary environmental drivers of its distribution.Results The ensemble model showed significantly superior predictive performance.TSS value and AUC value were 0.924 and 0.992,respectively.Key environmental factors significantly influencing the distribution of Hedysari Radix included slope,aspect,daily average temperature difference,isothermity,seasonal variation coefficient of temperature,lowest temperature in the coldest month,annual precipitation,driest month precipitation,and seasonal variation coefficient of precipitation.Under current climate conditions,suitable habitats for Hedysari Radix were primarily concentrated in the regions of Longnan and Dingxi in Gansu Province,covering an area of approximately 26.17×104 km2.Under future climate scenarios,suitable habitats will gradually shift toward the northwest into lower temperature zones,with a significant reduction in area.Conclusion The habitat suitability model developed in this study provides a basis for the conservation and sustainable utilization of Hedysari Radix genetic resources,while also offering a methodological reference for ecological adaptability studies of medicinal plants.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of self-crosslinked hyaluronic acid (SCH) gel on endometrium recovery after artificial abortion.Methods:A multicenter, prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted across 18 hospitals from December 2021 to February 2023, involving 382 women who underwent artificial abortion. Participants were randomly allocated to receive either treatment with SCH gel (SCH group) or no treatment (control group) in a 1∶1 ratio. The primary outcome was endometrium thickness in 14 to 18 days after the first postoperative menstruation. Secondary outcomes included changes in menstrual volume during the first postoperative menstruation, menstruation resumption within 6 postoperative weeks, time to menstruation resumption, duration of the first postoperative menstruation, and incidence of dysmenorrhea.Results:Baseline characteristics of participants were comparable between the two groups (all P>0.05), with 95.3% (182/191) in SCH group and 92.7% (177/191) in the control group completed the study. The postoperative endometrial thickness in SCH group was significantly greater than that in the control group [(9.78±3.15) vs (8.95±2.32) mm; P=0.005]. SCH group also had significantly fewer participants with reduced menstrual volume [23 cases (12.6%, 23/182) vs 31 cases (17.5%, 31/177); P=0.038]. Although SCH group experienced less dysmenorrhea during the first postoperative menstrual period, this difference was not statistically significant [28.5% (51/179) vs 37.1% (65/175); P=0.083]. Outcomes were similar between SCH group and the control group regarding the proportion of participants who resumed menstruation within 6 weeks postoperatively, time to menstruation resumption, and duration of the first postoperative menstruation ( P=0.792, 0.485, and 0.254, respectively). No serious adverse events were observed during the study period, and no adverse events were attributed to SCH gel treatment. Conclusion:The application of SCH gel after artificial abortion is safe and might aid in the recovery of the endometrium.

OBJECTIVE To explore the predictive factors of cefoperazone/sulbactam-induced thrombocytopenia in adult inpatients, and to establish and validate the nomogram prediction model. METHODS Data of adult inpatients treated with cefoperazone/sulbactam in Xi’an Central Hospital from Jun. 30th, 2021 to Jun. 30th, 2023 were retrospectively collected. The training set and internal validation set were randomly constructed in a 7∶3 ratio. Singler factor and multifactor Logistic regression analysis were used to screen the independent predictors of cefoperazone/sulbactam-induced thrombocytopenia. The nomogram was drawn by using “RMS” of R 4.0.3 software, and the predictive performance of the model was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve and C-index curve. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test was used to evaluate the calibration degree of the model. Using the same standard, the clinical data of hospitalized patients receiving cefoperazone/sulbactam in Xi’an First Hospital in the same period were collected for external validation of the nomogram prediction model. RESULTS A total of 1 045 patients in Xi’an Central Hospital were included in this study, among which 67 patients suffered from cefoperazone/sulbactam-induced thrombocytopenia, with an incidence of 6.41%. After the false positive patients were excluded, 473 patients were included finally, including 331 in the training set and 142 in theinternal validation set. Multifactor Logistic regression analysis showed that age [OR=1.043, 95%CI (1.017, 1.070)], estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) [OR=0.988,95%CI(0.977, 0.998)], baseline platelet (PLT) [OR=0.989, 95%CI(0.982, 0.996)], nutritional risk [OR=3.863, 95%CI(1.884, 7.921)] and cumulative defined daily doses (DDDs) [OR=1.082, 95%CI(1.020, 1.147)] were independent predictors for cefoperazone/sulbactam-induced thrombocytopenia (P<0.05). The C-index values of the training set and the internal validation set were 0.824 [95%CI (0.759, 0.890)] and 0.828 [95%CI (0.749, 0.933)], respectively. The results of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that χ 2 values were 0.441 (P=0.802) and 1.804 (P=0.406). In the external validation set, the C-index value was 0.808 [95%CI (0.672, 0.945)], the χ 2 value of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was 0.899 (P=0.638). CONCLUSIONS The independent predictors of cefoperazone/sulbactam-induced thrombocytopenia include age, baseline PLT, eGFR, nutritional risk and cumulative DDDs. The model has good predictive efficacy and extrapolation ability, which can help clinic identify the potential risk of cefoperazone/sulbactam-induced thrombocytopenia quickly and accurately.
