[摘 要] 目的：探讨透明质酸介导运动受体（HMMR）在食管鳞状细胞癌（ESCC）细胞恶性进展中的作用及其潜在的分子机制。方法：收集2018年1月至2020年12月期间在河北医科大学第四医院手术切除的8例ESCC组织及癌旁组织标本，以及ESCC细胞KYSE-30和KYSE-150。利用WB法和免疫组化（IHC）法检测HMMR在ESCC组织中的表达情况。采用RNA干扰技术，在KYSE-30和KYSE-150细胞中敲低HMMR表达，qPCR法和WB法检测敲低效果，通过CCK-8实验和Transwell实验分别检测敲低HMMR对ESCC细胞增殖和侵袭能力的影响。4-硝基喹啉1-氧化物（4NQO）诱导小鼠致癌建立ESCC模型，H-E染色观察食管的形态变化，IHC法分析HMMR、序列相似性家族83成员D（FAM83D）、上皮钙黏素（E-cadherin）和神经钙黏素（N-cadherin）在小鼠不同癌变程度组织中的表达情况。结果：人ESCC组织中HMMR表达水平显著高于癌旁组织（均P < 0.05）。敲低HMMR后，KYSE-30和KYSE-150细胞的增殖和侵袭能力均显著降低（P < 0.05或P < 0.01），同时降低了FAM83D的表达水平（均P < 0.01）。裸鼠成瘤实验中，4NQO组小鼠体质量均低于对照组（均P < 0.05）；IHC法染色结果显示，肿瘤组织中HMMR呈高表达（P < 0.05），其中在高级别上皮内瘤变（HGIN）组织中的表达显著高于低级别上皮内瘤变（LGIN）组织（P < 0.001）。HMMR与FAM83D、N-cadherin表达呈显著正相关（r = 0.724、0.870，均P < 0.001），与E-cadherin表达呈显著负相关（r = -0.714，P < 0.001）。结论：HMMR在ESCC组织中呈高表达，其可能通过上调FAM83D表达水平促进ESCC的进展。

Metastatic dissemination is the major cause of death from breast-cancer (BC). Fusobacterium nucleatum (F.n) is widely enriched in BC and has recently been identified as one of the high-risk factors for promoting BC metastasis. Here, with an experimental model, we demonstrated that intratumoral F.n induced BC aggressiveness by transcriptionally activating Epithelial-mesenchymal transition-associated genes. Therefore, the F.n may be a potential target to prevent metastasis. Given the fact that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are abundant in BC and located near blood vessels, we report an optogenetic system that drives CAF to in situ produce human antibacterial peptide LL37, with the characteristics of biosafety and freely intercellular trafficking, for depleting intratumoral F.n, leading to a 72.1% reduction in lung metastatic nodules number without affecting the balance of the systemic flora. Notably, mild photothermal treatment was found that could normalize CAF, contributing to synergistically inhibiting BC metastasis. In addition, the system can also simultaneously encode a gene of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand to suppress the primary tumor. Together, our study highlights the potential of local elimination of tumor pathogenic bacteria to prevent BC metastasis.

Approximately 20% to 30% of the global workforce is engaged in shift work. As a significant cause of circadian disruption, shift work is closely associated with an increased risk for periodontitis. Nevertheless, how shift work-related circadian disruption functions in periodontitis remains unknown. Herein, we employed a simulated shift work model constructed by controlling the environmental light-dark cycles and revealed that shift work-related circadian disruption exacerbated the progression of experimental periodontitis. RNA sequencing and in vitro experiments indicated that downregulation of the core circadian protein brain and muscle ARNT-like protein 1 (BMAL1) and activation of the Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated pyroptosis were involved in the pathogenesis of that. Mechanically, BMAL1 regulated GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis by suppressing NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome signaling through modulating nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group D member 1 (NR1D1), and inhibiting Gsdmd transcription via directly binding to the E-box elements in its promoter. GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis accelerated periodontitis progression, whereas downregulated BMAL1 under circadian disruption further aggravated periodontal destruction by increasing GSDMD activity. And restoring the level of BMAL1 by circadian recovery and SR8278 injection alleviated simulated shift work-exacerbated periodontitis via lessening GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis. These findings provide new evidence and potential interventional targets for circadian disruption-accelerated periodontitis.

Objective:To explore the optimization of the standardized assessment tool for clinical diagnosis of Chinese developmental dyslexia (DD).Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to December 2023, in which 130 primary school children in grades 1 to 3 with clinical signs of literacy lag and positive screening results on the screening scales were recruited from the outpatient clinic of Child Health Care Medical Division, Shanghai Children′s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Chinese dyslexia screening behavior checklist for primary students (CDSBC) was used as the screening scales, and supplemented by dyslexia checklist for Chinese children. Referring to the standard procedure of the"expert advice on diagnosis and intervention of Chinese developmental dyslexia", the developmental dyslexia scale for standard mandarin (DDSSM) was used to evaluate the children′s literacy-related cognitive abilities and conduct the diagnostic assessment, and divided the children into learning backward group and the DD group. The t-test and χ2 test were used to compare the differences in the distribution of intelligence, literacy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder between the two groups. Spearman′s correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the scores for each cognitive ability in the DDSSM and the CDSBC. Results:Of the 130 children, 90 were male, aged (8.3±1.0) years; 40 were female, aged (8.1±0.9) years. A final diagnosis of DD was made in 59 cases, of which 41 were males. There was no statistically significant difference in operational intelligence quotient (101±15 vs.100±15, t=0.53, P>0.05) and statistically significant difference in literacy of DDSSM (32±5 vs.21±4, t=11.56, P<0.001) between the learning backward group and the DD group. Eighteen cases (25.4%) of the learning backward group were children with attention deficit subtype attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD-I), and 16 cases (27.1%) in DD group, the difference in incidence between the two groups was not statistically significant ( χ2=0.05, P>0.05). There were correlations between the DDSSM (for oral vocabulary, morphological awareness and orthographic awareness) and the CDSBC total score ( r=-0.42, -0.32, -0.35, all P<0.01), but the correlations for visuospatial perception and rapid automatized naming with CDSBC total score were not statistically significant ( r=-0.09 and -0.20,both P>0.05). Conclusion:For literacy-related cognitive abilities, screening scales CDSBC are not sufficiently useful for assessment, so the introduction of standardized assessment tools DDSSM is an optimization of the clinical diagnosis of Chinese DD, which is crucial for achieving accurate diagnosis and intervention.

Objective To observe the effect of intraoperative continuous pump infusion of remima-zolam on postoperative delirium(POD)in elderly patients with hip fracture under subarachnoid block.Methods A total of 236 elderly patients undergoing elective hip fracture surgery under subarachnoid block,82 males and 154 females,aged≥65 years,BMI 18.5-31.0 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ,were divided into two groups by using the randomized number table method:remimazolam group(group R)and control group(group C),118 patients in each group.When the surgical site was disinfected and cov-ered,the patients in group R were administered the first dose of reminmazolam 0.1 mg/kg and followed by a continuous infusion 0.2 mg·kg-1·h-1 intravenously to maintain the modified observer's assessment of alert/sedation(MOAA/S)1 or 2 scores.Reminmazolam infusion was stopped at the end of the surgery.The same volume of normal saline was injected for patients in group C.POD was assessed by the confusion as-sessment method-Chinese revised version(CAM-CR)1-3 days after the surgery.The anxiety scores one day before and one day after the surgery,and plasma cortisol concentrations when the patients were admitted into the operating room and at the end of the surgery were recorded.The incidence of intraoperative hypertension,hypotension,bradycardia,hypoxemia,and postoperative nausea and vomiting were also recor-ded.Results Compared with group C,POD incidence in group R was significantly decreased(P＜0.05),anxiety score one day after surgery and plasma cortisol concentration at the end of the surgery in group R were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),and the incidence of intraoperative hypertension in group R was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the plasma cortisol con-centrations when the patients were admitted into the operating room and the incidences of intraoperative hy-potension,bradycardia,hypoxemia,and postoperative nausea and vomiting between the two groups.Conclusion Remimazolam can reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium in elderlypatients undergoing hip fracture surgery under subarachnoid block,which may be related to alleviating intraoperative anxiety and inhibiting intraoperative stress response.

Objective This study aims to explore effective ways to enhance patient experience by analyzing relevant indi-cators before and after the implementation of a new admission model at a large public tertiary hospital.Methods A retrospective analysis and a questionnaire survey were conducted to assess changes in hospital admission convenience,timeliness,and patient satisfaction before and after the implementation of the new admission model.Results After the new admission model was imple-mented,the bed occupancy rate for waiting patients significantly increased,while the waiting time decreased.The time required for completing admission procedures was notably shortened,bed utilization rates improved,and the average pre-operative hospital stay decreased.Additionally,the volume of admitted critically ill patients increased,and indicators such as the proportion of level IV surgeries and inpatient satisfaction improved.Conclusion The implementation of the new admission model has enhanced serv-ice efficiency and quality,improved patient experience,and increased patient satisfaction,making it a model worth promoting.

The increasing operating pressure of large public hospitals has forced hospitals to focus on opening up income sources and reducing expenditure.The purchase and maintenance of medical equipment is one of the important economic activities of hospi-tals.However,there are problems in large public hospitals,such as the argumentation for equipment acquisition ignoring evaluation of operational efficiency,the costing model that leads to a lack of willingness of departments to purchase equipment,and the lack of standard processes and systems for renting medical equipment among departments.Based on this,it explores the establishment of a medical equipment sharing operation mechanism in large public hospitals,promotes the improvement of the efficiency of medical equipment use in large public hospitals by establishing a medical equipment sharing center,standardizing the purchase of shared equipment,entering shared equipment information,setting up shared equipment leasing specifications,and clarifying the equipment return process and maintenance,so as to effectively control hospital operating costs,and help the high-quality development of public hospitals.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of cataracts, the surgical coverage, and postoperative visual acuity of adults in Ningxia.Methods:A cross-sectional study using multistage cluster random sampling was conducted.Ten survey sites in Ningxia were selected and the population aged 18 years and over was surveyed with questionnaire, height and weight measurements, visual acuity, intraocular pressure, fundus photography and slit-lamp examinations.Cataract prevalence and its influencing factors were analyzed.Cataract prevalence, surgical coverage and presenting visual acuity (PVA) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after surgery were investigated in different age groups of the examined population.The study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethics Committee of the People's Hospital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (No.[2023]-LL-010).Participants signed informed consent prior to the examination.Results:A total of 6 145 people should be examined, and 5 721 people were actually examined, with an examination rate of 93.10%.The study population consisted of 2 558 males, accounting for 44.71%, and 3 163 females, accounting for 55.28%, with ages ranging from 18 to 93 years old and an average age of (64.27±13.48) years.Among them, 1 180 patients diagnosed with cataract, with a cataract prevalence of 20.62%.The prevalence of cataract increased with age and decreased with education level, showing statistically significant differences ( χ2=1 091.32, 581.92; both at P<0.01).The prevalence of cataract was significantly higher among people with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and coronary heart disease than those without these diseases ( χ2=274.65, 118.15, 78.05, 182.71; all at P<0.01).Cataract surgery was performed in 245 cases in the cataract patient population, with a surgical coverage rate of 20.76%.Of the 245 cases, 229 cases were implanted with IOLs, with an implantation rate of 93.40%.The social burden rate of cataract blindness was 2.29%, and increased with age.Of the 339 eyes that underwent cataract surgery, 241 had a PVA≥0.3, accounting for 71.09%, and 272 had a BCVA≥0.3, accounting for 80.24%. Conclusions:In Ningxia, cataracts are still the main cause of vision impairment and blindness in the elderly, and the social burden rate of cataract blindness is high.Moreover, the coverage rate of cataract surgery is low, so both the coverage and quality of surgery need improvement.
