[摘 要] 目的：探究连接蛋白4/泛酸酯酶1轴在食管鳞状细胞癌（ESCC）中的表达和其对ESCC细胞恶性生物学行为的影响及机制。方法：转录组测序结合GO和KEGG富集分析筛选出连接蛋白4调控下游靶基因泛酸酯酶1，用数据库Timer2.0分析泛酸酯酶1 mRNA在ESCC组织中的表达，并用qPCR和WB法检测正常食管上皮细胞HET-1和ESCC细胞中泛酸酯酶1 mRNA和蛋白的表达，筛选出表达差异最为显著的ESCC KYSE-410和KYSE-510细胞。用siRNA敲减KYSE-410和KYSE-510细胞中泛酸酯酶1的表达，用CCK-8法、划痕愈合实验和Transwell小室实验检测敲减泛酸酯酶1表达对细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭的影响。此外，对泛酸酯酶1相关信号通路进行KEGG和GO富集分析，并采用免疫组化法比较泛酸酯酶1在ESCC组织和癌旁组织中的表达差异。结果：Timer2.0数据库数据分析和qPCR法检测结果显示，泛酸酯酶1在ESCC组织和细胞中呈高表达（均P < 0.01）。WB法检测结果显示，泛酸酯酶1蛋白在ESCC细胞中高表达（P < 0.01）。siRNA成功敲减了KYSE-410和KYSE-510细胞中泛酸酯酶1的表达。敲减泛酸酯酶1能显著抑制KYSE-410和KYSE-510细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭能力（P < 0.05或P < 0.0 1或P < 0.00 1或P < 0.000 1）。KEGG和GO富集分析提示泛酸酯酶1可能通过参与泛酸和辅酶A的合成代谢途径发挥作用。免疫组化法检测结果显示，泛酸酯酶1在ESCC组织中呈高表达（P < 0.000 1）。结论：泛酸酯酶1在ESCC组织中呈高表达，通过连接蛋白4/泛酸酯酶1轴促进KYSE-410和KYSE-510细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭能力。靶向抑制泛酸酯酶1可能为ESCC的治疗提供新的思路。

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of implantable neuromuscular electrical stimulation system on stress urinary incontinence (SUI) model in female rats. Methods: A total of 21 female infertile SD rats were randomly divided into the control，sham stimulation，and stimulation groups，with 7 rats in each group.All rats received vaginal dilation (VD) to simulate postpartum SUI.One week after VD，the control group was given normal feeding，stimulators were implanted in the pelvic floor muscles of the sham stimulation and stimulation groups.The sham stimulation group received normal feeding for 2 weeks，and the stimulation group received pelvic floor electrical stimulation (PFES) for 2 consecutive weeks.The leak point pressure (LPP) of each rat was measured with cystometry before VD (baseline value)，1 week after VD，and 2 weeks after PFES. Results: In the control group and sham stimulation group，LPP increased after 2 weeks of treatment compared with that after 1 week of VD，but it still did not return to the baseline level (P<0.001).In the stimulation group，after 2 consecutive weeks of PFES，LPP increased significantly compared with that 1 week after VD，and returned to the baseline value (P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the LPP baseline values and levels after 1 week of VD among the 3 groups (P>0.05).The LPP in the stimulation group after 2 weeks of PFES was significantly higher than that in the sham stimulation group and stimulation group (P<0.001). Conclusion: The implantable neuromuscular electrical stimulation system is effective in short-term intervention of SUI in female rats，the further studies are needed to confirm the long-term efficacy and safety of the system，the optimal stimulation sites，optimal stimulation parameters，and potential mechanisms of action.

Aim To study the mechanism of action of licorice in alleviating cisplatin liver injury.Methods Forty-eight SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group,a model group,a positive control group and lico-rice administration groups(450,900 and 1 800 mg·kg-1).After 5 days of prophylactic administration,8 mg·kg-1 of cisplatin was injected intraperitoneally in-to the model,positive control,and licorice administra-tion groups to establish an acute liver injury model.LC-MS/MS untargeted metabolomics was used to ana-lyze the differential metabolites and metabolic pathways of licorice to alleviate cisplatin acute liver injury.Re-sults PLS-DA score plots showed significant separa-tion of metabolomics samples.The analysis yielded 119 differential metabolites associated with cisplatin liver injury,of which 31 differential metabolites were signifi-cantly regressed after licorice intervention and were mainly involved in D-arginine and D-ornithine metabo-lism;parathyroid hormone synthesis,secretion,and ac-tion;tyrosine metabolism;biosynthesis of phenylala-nine,tyrosine,and tryptophan;β-alanine metabolism;and amino acid and nucleotide sugar metabolism.Con-clusions Metabolomics analysis indicates that licorice can alter the metabolic profile of cisplatin-induced he-patic injury rats,and its mechanism of action may be related to its improvement of the levels of differential metabolites and its involvement in the regulation of a-mino acid metabolism and other related pathways.

Objective:To investigate the clinical repair strategy for ischial tuberosity pressure ulcers based on the sinus tract condition and range of skin and soft tissue defects.Methods:The study was a retrospective observational study. From July 2017 to March 2023, 21 patients with stage Ⅲ or Ⅳ ischial tuberosity pressure ulcers who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, including 13 males and 8 females, aged 14-84 years. There were 31 ischial tuberosity pressure ulcers, with an area of 1.5 cm×1.0 cm-8.0 cm×6.0 cm. After en bloc resection and debridement, the range of skin and soft tissue defect was 6.0 cm×3.0 cm-15.0 cm×8.0 cm. According to the depth and size of sinus tract and range of skin and soft tissue defects on the wound after debridement, the wounds were repaired according to the following three conditions. (1) When there was no sinus tract or the sinus tract was superficial, with a skin and soft tissue defect range of 6.0 cm×3.0 cm-8.5 cm×6.5 cm, the wound was repaired by direct suture, Z-plasty, transfer of buttock local flap, or V-Y advancement of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flap. (2) When the sinus tract was deep and small, with a skin and soft tissue defect range of 8.5 cm×4.5 cm-11.0 cm×6.5 cm, the wound was repaired by the transfer and filling of gracilis muscle flap followed by direct suture, or Z-plasty, or combined with transfer of inferior gluteal artery perforator flap. (3) When the sinus tract was deep and large, with a skin and soft tissue defect range of 7.5 cm×5.5 cm-15.0 cm×8.0 cm, the wound was repaired by the transfer and filling of gracilis muscle flap and gluteus maximus muscle flap transfer, followed by direct suture, Z-plasty, or combined with transfer of buttock local flap; and transfer and filling of biceps femoris long head muscle flap combined with rotary transfer of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flap; and filling of the inferior gluteal artery perforator adipofascial flap transfer combined with V-Y advancement of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flap. A total of 7 buttock local flaps with incision area of 8.0 cm×6.0 cm-19.0 cm×16.0 cm, 21 gracilis muscle flaps with incision area of 18.0 cm×3.0 cm-24.0 cm×5.0 cm, 9 inferior gluteal artery perforator flaps or inferior gluteal artery perforator adipofascial flaps with incision area of 8.5 cm×6.0 cm-13.0 cm×7.5 cm, 10 gluteal maximus muscle flaps with incision area of 8.0 cm×5.0 cm-13.0 cm×7.0 cm, 2 biceps femoris long head muscle flaps with incision area of 17.0 cm×3.0 cm and 20.0 cm×5.0 cm, and 5 posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flaps with incision area of 12.0 cm×6.5 cm-21.0 cm×10.0 cm were used. The donor area wounds were directly sutured. The survival of muscle flap, adipofascial flap, and flap, and wound healing in the donor area were observed after operation. The recovery of pressure ulcer and recurrence of patients were followed up.Results:After surgery, all the buttock local flaps, gracilis muscle flaps, gluteus maximus muscle flaps, inferior gluteal artery perforator adipofascial flaps, and biceps femoris long head muscle flaps survived well. In one case, the distal part of one posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flap was partially necrotic, and the wound was healed after dressing changes. In another patient, bruises developed in the distal end of inferior gluteal artery perforator flap. It was somewhat relieved after removal of some sutures, but a small part of the necrosis was still present, and the wound was healed after bedside debridement and suture. The other posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flaps and inferior gluteal artery perforator flaps survived well. In one patient, the wound at the donor site caused incision dehiscence due to postoperative bleeding in the donor area. The wound was healed after debridement+Z-plasty+dressing change. The wounds in the rest donor areas of patients were healed well. After 3 to 15 months of follow-up, all the pressure ulcers of patients were repaired well without recurrence.Conclusions:After debridement of ischial tuberosity pressure ulcer, if there is no sinus tract formation or sinus surface is superficial, direct suture, Z-plasty, buttock local flap, or V-Y advancement repair of posterior femoral cutaneous nerve nutrient vessel flap can be selected according to the range of skin and soft tissue defects. If the sinus tract of the wound is deep, the proper tissue flap can be selected to fill the sinus tract according to the size of sinus tract and range of the skin and soft tissue defects, and then the wound can be closed with individualized flap to obtain good repair effect.

Objective To explore the short-term outcome and safety of 577 nm subthreshold micropulse laser(SML)in the treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy(CSC).Methods The clinical data of 22 patients(24 eyes)with CSC who were admitted to First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from April 2023 to April 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.The 12 eyes had acute CSC,the 12 eyes had chronic CSC,and all of them were treated with SML.The changes of best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA),central macular thickness(CMT),subfoveal choroidal thickness(SFCT),subretinal fluid height(SRFH),and central macular sensitivity(CMS)before treatment and 1 month after treatment were analyzed.The absorption of subretinal fluid 1 month after treatment and related complications were observed.Results Compared with those before treatment,the CMT,SFCT,and SRFH 1 month after treatment significantly declined(P<0.05).The LogMAR BCVA and CMS 1 month after treatment were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P<0.05).The CMS(r=-0.555,P=0.006)and LogMAR BCVA(r=0.439,P=0.032)before treatment were significantly correlated with SRFH before treatment.The change of SRFH was significantly correlated with CMT before treatment(r=0.616,P=0.001),but without correlation with SFCT before treatment(r=0.168,P=0.431).One month after treatment,11 eyes had complete absorption of subretinal fluid,12 eyes had varying degrees of absorption,and 1 eye had an increase in SRFH.No related adverse reactions were observed.Conclusion The 577 nm SML has a good therapeutic effect on CSC,which can significantly improve the macular structure and central visual function,with good safety.

Objective:To investigate the molecular mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 accessory protein ORF7a mediating NF-κB activation and thus inducing inflammatory cytokines production.Methods:Effects of ORF7a on NF-κB promoter activity was analyzed by luciferase reporter assay.qRT-PCR was used to analyze expressions of inflammatory cytokines.Effects of ORF7a on phos-phorylation and nuclear-translocation of p65 were determined by Western blot and immunofluorescence.Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence assay were performed to investigate potential target s of ORF7a.Results:Luciferase reporter assay showed that ORF7a activated NF-κB promoter activity in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.001),while has no effect on activation of AP-1 reporter gene.ORF7a significantly upregulates expressions of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-8 mRNA levels(P<0.05).Western blot showed that ORF7a markedly increased phosphorylation of p65 protein(P<0.05)and p65 nuclear localization(P<0.01).The interaction between ORF7a and IKKβ protein of NF-κB signaling pathway was found by immunoprecipitation assay,and the co-localization of ORF7a and IKKβ was also confirmed by immunofluorescence assay.Conclusion:SARS-CoV-2 ORF7a targets IKKβ to promote active NF-κB pathway to the release of inflammatory cytokines.

Purpose: This study evaluated the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) treatment of symptomatic focal uterine adenomyosis. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted between March 2020 and January 2023, enrolling 52 patients with symptomatic focal uterine adenomyosis who had undergone MWA. All patients were examined with CEUS before and after MWA. The non-perfused volume (NPV) was compared between CEUS and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCEMRI) following ablation. Therapeutic efficacy and safety were evaluated at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups. Additionally, this study explored the correlations between pre-treatment CEUS features and a volume reduction ratio indicating sufficient ablation, defined as 50% or more at the 3-month follow-up. Results: No significant differences in NPV were noted between CEUS and DCE-MRI immediately after MWA and during follow-up (all P>0.05). At the 3-month follow-up, the median VRRs for the uterus and adenomyosis were 33.2% and 63.9%, respectively. Sufficient ablation was achieved in 69.2% (36/52) of adenomyosis cases, while partial ablation was observed in the remaining 30.8% (16/52). The identification of non-enhancing areas on pre-treatment CEUS was associated with sufficient ablation (P=0.016). At the 12-month follow-up, significant decreases were observed in both the uterine and adenomyosis volumes (all P<0.001). Dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia were significantly alleviated at 12 months, and no major complications were encountered. Conclusion CEUS can be used to evaluate the ablation zone of focal adenomyosis that has been treated with MWA, similarly to DCE-MRI. The identification of non-enhancing areas on pretreatment CEUS indicates satisfactory treatment outcomes.

Objective:To study the epidemiological and genetic characteristics of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) circulating in Guangdong Province from 2008 to 2021.Methods:This study collected the specimens of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) cases from 2008 to 2021 that were positive for other enteroviruses except for enterovirus 71 (EV71), coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16), and CVA6, as well as the specimens of herpangina and neonatal infection cases from 2020 to 2021. Enteroviruses in these specimens were detected and their types were identified. CVB3 strains were isolated and the entire VP1 sequences of CVB3 strains were amplified and sequenced. The genetic features of CVB3 strains were analyzed using DNAStar 7.1 and MEGA 6.06 software packages.Results:Among 3 484 HFMD cases positive for other enteroviruses from 2008 to 2021, CVB3-positive cases accounted for 1.6% (57/3 484); among 560 cases of herpangina from 2020 to 2021, CVB3-positive cases accounted for 2.1% (12/560); one neonatal infection case in 2021 was positive for CVB3. CVB3-positive cases accounted for 67.1% (47/70) in 2021 and 18.6% (13/70) in 2020, while there were less than five cases in other years. Forty-eight CVB3 strains were isolated and the entire VP1 sequences of 26 CVB3 strains were obtained. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the CVB3 strains could be divided into eight genotypes (A-H) and the strains of genotypes A, D and E were prevalent in the Chinese mainland. The 26 CVB3 strains isolated in Guangdong Province shared 80.2%-100.0% nucleotide homology, and belonged to two genotypes of D and E, with genotype D prevalent from 2008 to 2017 and genotype E prevalent from 2020 to 2021.Conclusions:CVB3 is prevalent sporadically in Guangdong Province from 2008 to 2017, but the epidemic intensity increased during 2020 and 2021. CVB3 strains of genotypes D and E are prevalent in Guangdong Province during 2008 to 2021, with genotype E being the prevalent genotype during 2020 and 2021.
