Objective: The impact of prophylactic salpingectomy on the prevention of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains unclear, particularly in Asian populations where data is lacking. In this systematic review and meta-analysis study, we sought to assess whether prophylactic salpingectomy could reduce the incidence of ovarian cancer in the general population of multiple ethnicities. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science to assess the effectiveness of salpingectomy, bilateral salpingectomy (BS), and unilateral salpingectomy (US) in reducing the risk of EOC and evaluating postoperative outcomes. Results: The final analyses included 6 eligible trials (5,747,056 patients), including 1 cohort study and 5 case-control studies. The analyses of these studies demonstrated that women who underwent salpingectomy had a significantly reduced risk of EOC compared to those who did not receive salpingectomy (odds ratio [OR]=0.63; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.45–0.89; p=0.007). Five studies (5,746,469 patients) indicated a significant reduction in EOC risk among patients who underwent BS (OR=0.48; 95% CI=0.33–0.69; p<0.001).On the other hand, in the analysis of 4 studies (5,745,887 patients) that examined US, the association with EOC risk was not significant despite the protective trend (OR=0.82; 95% CI=0.64–1.06; p=0.12). Conclusion Our results indicate BS is an effective strategy for reducing the risk of sporadic EOC, but the results did not lead to the same conclusion for patients who underwent US. When a candidate or patient is undergoing a hysterectomy or has other benign diseases, prophylactic BS may be a safe surgical procedure that carries future benefits in terms of EOC risk.

OBJECTIVE To study the efficacy of Tianjiang xueshuantong pills in the treatment of coronary heart disease. METHODS In accordance with the common pathogenesis of coronary heart disease， acute myocardial ischemia model， hyperlipidemia model， blood stasis model， and carotid artery thrombosis model were established using Wistar rats or SD rats as the experimental subjects. The effects of Tianjiang xueshuantong pills administered at high， medium， and low doses （0.6， 1.2 and 2.4 g/kg） on hemodynamic parameters and myocardial enzyme markers [lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， creatine kinase-MB （CK- MB）]， oxidative stress factors [superoxide dismutase （SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione （GSH）]， inflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， IL-1β， monocyte chemotactic protein-1 （MCP-1）， intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （ICAM-1）]， myocardial infarction percentage， serum lipid indexes [total cholesterol （TC）， triglycerides （TG）， low-density lipoprotein （LDL）， high-density lipoprotein （HDL）]， platelet aggregation function 话：022-84845240。E-mail：jiangx@tjipr.com [maximum aggregation rate （MAR）]， and thrombus formation indexes [thrombosis time， thrombus mass， thrombus protein content， plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 （PAI-1）， and tissue-type plasminogen activator （t-PA）] were evaluated in the rat models. RESULTS In myocardial ischemia tests， Tianjiang xueshuantong pills significantly reduced the percentage of myocardial infarction and the levels of CK-MB， LDH， MDA， GSH， IL-6， TNF-α， IL- 1β， and MCP-1 in serum （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. In hyperlipidemia tests， high dose of Tianjiang xueshuantong pills significantly reduced the serum levels of TC， LDL and significantly increased the level of HDL in rats after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of administration. In blood stasis tests， different doses of Tianjiang xueshuantong pills significantly reduced MAR of rats （P＜0.01）. In artery thrombosis tests， high dose of Tianjiang xueshuantong pills significantly prolonged the time of thrombosis formation （P＜ 0.01）， significantly reduced the weight and protein content of thrombus and the level of PAI-1 in serum （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Tianjiang xueshuantong pills exert therapeutic effects on coronary heart disease through multi-dimensional synergistic actions， including anti-myocardial ischemia， lipid-lowering， and anti-thrombotic effects.

As the volume of medical research using large language models (LLM) surges, the need for standardized and transparent reporting standards becomes increasingly critical. In January 2025, Nature Medicine published statement titled by TRIPOD-LLM reporting guideline for studies using large language models. This represents the first comprehensive reporting framework specifically tailored for studies that develop prediction models based on LLM. It comprises a checklist with 19 main items (encompassing 50 sub-items), a flowchart, and an abstract checklist (containing 12 items). This article provides an interpretation of TRIPOD-LLM’s development methods, primary content, scope, and the specific details of its items. The goal is to help researchers, clinicians, editors, and healthcare decision-makers to deeply understand and correctly apply TRIPOD-LLM, thereby improving the quality and transparency of LLM medical research reporting and promoting the standardized and ethical integration of LLM into healthcare.

Objective:To investigate the reversal effect and mechanism of asiatic acid (AA)on multidrug resistance in human adriamycin (ADR)chronic myeloid leukemia K562/ADR cells.Methods:CCK-8 assay was used to detect the resistance of K562 cells and K562/ADR cells to ADR.CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effect of AA on K562/ADR cell viability and adriamycin sensitization.After K562/ADR cells were treated with non-toxic doses of AA(10,20μmol/L),the average fluorescence intensity of ADR was detected by flow cytometry.Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression levels of MRP1,P-gp,β-catenin,C-myc and cyclinD1 mRNA.Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of MRP1,P-gp,β-catenin,C-myc and cyclinD1 proteins.Western blot assay was used to detect the expression levels of MRP1,P-gp,β-catenin,C-myc and cyclinD1 proteins in K562/ADR cells treated with 20μmol/L AA and Wnt/β-catenin pathway agonist WAY-262611 (5 μmol/L).Results:The CCK-8 assay showed that the drug resistance of K562/ADR cells was 56.57 times that of K562 cells,showing stable drug resistance,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 ).AA inhibited the proliferative activity of K562/ADR cells in a concentration-dependent manner(r=0.9666).Compared with 0 μmol/L AA group,the 10 and 20 μmol/L AA groups could significantly enhance the average fluorescence intensity of intracellular ADR (P<0.05 ),and reverse the cell resistance to ADR (P<0.05).The mRNA and protein expressions of MRP1,P-gp,β-catenin,C-myc and cyclinD1 in cells were down-regulated (P<0.05).Compared with 20μmol/L AA group,the expression levels of MRP1,P-gp,β-catenin,C-myc and cyclinD1 protein in 20 μmol/L AA+WAY group were significantly increased (P<0.05 ). Conclusion:AA inhibits K562/ADR cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner and reverse their resistance to ADR,the reversal mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of MRP1 and P-gp expression after inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the relationship and clinical significance of circulating tu-mor DNA(ctDNA)methylation with postoperative recurrence of thyroid cancer.Method:5 pa-tients with recurrent thyroid cancer in our hospital from March 2021 to April 2022 were selected as the observation group,and 2 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group.The level of ctDNA methylation in peripheral blood of the two groups was detected by Illumina high-throughput sequencing system.Gene ontology(GO)function analysis and Kyoto gene and genome encyclope-dia(KEGG)signal pathway analysis were carried out on the methylation region genes with signifi-cant differences through the DAVID gene function analysis platform.Result:There were 7787 dif-ferential ctDNA methylation sites between the two groups.2914(37.4％)were hypermethylation sites and 4873(62.6％)were low methylation sites.GO functional analysis showed that differentially methylated genes were enriched in molecular functions such as DNA-binding transcriptional acti-vation,cell-substrate adhesion,glycoprotein complex and other cellular components.KEGG path-way analysis showed that differentially methylated genes were enriched in thyroid carcinoma signal pathway,cell adhesion molecules,RAP1 signal pathway,RAS signal pathway,MAPK signal path-way and so on.Conclusion:ctDNA methylation may be involved in cancer recurrence in postop-erative patients with thyroid cancer.Monitoring the level of ctDNA methylation in peripheral blood may be an effective method to indicate the recurrence or metastasis of thyroid cancer and guide clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and modified-endoscopic mucosal resection (M-EMR) for G1 rectal neuroendocrine tumors (RNETs) .Methods:Data of 121 patients with pathologically confirmed G1 RNETs treated with ESD ( n=105) or M-EMR ( n=16) in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2017 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The complete resection rate, complication incidence, hospital stay, treatment cost and other indicators of the two groups were compared by using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). Results:There were significant differences in tumor number ( χ2=8.76, P=0.003), tumor invasion depth ( χ2=6.96, P=0.008), utilization of metal clips [82.9% (87/105) VS 93.8% (15/16), χ2=8.78, P=0.003], number of metal clips ( χ2=8.41, P=0.016), hemostasis using hot clamp [78.1% (82/105) VS 18.7% (3/16), χ2=20.64, P<0.001], traction procedure [2.9% (3/105) VS 18.7% (3/16), χ2=4.45, P=0.035] and treatment cost (17 568.6 ± 8 911.0 yuan VS 8 120.8±1 528.2 yuan, t=3.65, P<0.001) between the ESD group and the M-EMR group. After verifying the stability of the results using IPTW sensitivity analysis, there was still significant difference in the treatment cost ( t=2.07, P<0.001). Conclusion:Both ESD and M-EMR demonstrate comparable efficacy in treating G1 RNETs; however, M-EMR exhibites lower treatment costs.
