Objective:To explore the anal function and postoperative complications of 2-stage Turnbull-Cutait pull-through coloanal anastomosis (TCA) for low rectal cancer.Methods:Patients undergoing radical rectal cancer resection from Feb 2023 to Nov 2024 in the First Hospital of Jilin University were divided into the TCA surgery group and the low anterior resection combined with prophylactic stoma (LAR) surgery group.Results:Among the 102 patients, there were 50 cases in the TCA group and 52 cases in the LAR group. In the single-arm analysis of the TCA group, the overall complication rate was 44%. The incidence rates of severe LARS at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery were 97%, 77%, and 64% respectively. There was no significant difference in the complication rate within 30 days after surgery between the two groups,(44% vs. 38%, χ2=0.135, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of severe LARS between the TCA group and the LAR group (77% vs. 69%, χ2=0.202, P>0.05), and there was not significant difference in the incidence rate of severe LARS between the two groups at the 6th month after surgery,(64% vs. 48%, χ2=1.132, P>0.05). Conclusion:In patients who underwent TCA surgery, the LARS symptoms gradually decreased over time. Compared with patients undergoing low anterior resection and stoma reversal, there were no significant differences in complications within 30 days after surgery and LARS symptoms within half a year.

Objective To investigate the effects of harmine(HM)on the expression level of mitochondrion fusion related proteins and mitochondrial function injury in PC 12 cells.Methods PC 12 cells were divided into cell control group,HM group,mitochondrion mitosis inhibitor Mdivi-1 group,HM+Mdivi-1 group,mitochondrion fission agonist WY14643 group,HM+WY14643 group,with drug concentrations of 1,10,25,50,100 μmol·L-1.After 24 h treatment,the MTT method was used to detect the cell survival rate,and a microscope was used to observe the cell morphology,MitoTracker Red probe staining was used to observe the mitochondrial morphology and the length ratio of vertical and horizontal axes,JC-1 staining was used to detect the mitochondrial membrane potential,and a kit was used to detect ATP level and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)activity.Immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting were used to assess the expression levels of caspase-3,apoptosis-promoting protein(Bax)cytochrome C(cyt-c),mitochondrial fusion protein(Mfn2)and mitochondrial mitotic protein(Drp-1).The interference sequence of Drp1 was transfected by electroporation,and the siRNA sequence with good transfection effect was screened.The related indicators were detected by fluorescence method,MTT method,and immunoblotting method in cooperation with drug intervention.Results MTT results showed that compared with the cell control group,the survival rate of HM group,Mdivi-1 group,HM+Mdivi-1 group,WY14643 group and HM+WY14643 group decreased significantly(P＜0.01),and the EC50 were(11.48±2.32),(12.35±1.67),(14.88±2.07),(39.14±3.25),(20.09±1.97),respectively.According to this,subsequent experiments selected 20 μmol·L-1for HM,WY 14643 and HM+WY14643 as working concentrations to construct PC 12 cell model.Microscopic observation and MitoTracker Red probe staining showed that the cell density in the drug group decreased in varying degrees,and a transition from branched to round morphology in the drug-treated groups was observed.The morphology of mitochondria tended to be round,and the ratio of the length of the longitudinal axis to transverse axis was(3.33±0.72)in the cell control group,(2.19±0.58)in the HM group,(2.45±0.44)in Mdivi-1 group,and(1.43±0.62)in HM+Mdivi-1 group,respectively.The results of JC-1 staining showed that compared with the cell control group,the mitochondrial mode potential of the HM group significantly decreased(P＜0.01).ROS significantly increased(P＜0.01)and ATP levels decreased(P＜0.01),and LDH enzyme activity increased(P＜0.01).Immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting results showed that compared with the cell control group,the expression levels of proapoptotic proteins Bax,cytochrome C,and caspase-3 in the HM group were significantly increased(all P＜0.01).Compared with the cell control group,the expression level of mitochondrial fission related protein Drp1 in HM group was significantly higher(P＜0.01).The expression level of mitochondrial fusion related protein Mfn2 significantly decreased(P＜0.01).After specific interference with Drp1 and synergistic intervention with HM,the survival rate of PC 12 cells in each interference group decreased compared to each drug intervention group.The expression of Drp1 and Mfn2 was downregulated,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion HM can reduce the mitochoudrial membrane potential and ATP levels by accumulating ROS,there by activating the caspase-3 apoptosis pathway and promoting cell apoptosis.Mitochondrial fusion division may be involved in the damage of PC12 cells caused by HM,initiating apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway.

Objective To analyze the current situation of healthcare-associated infection (HCAI) management of fever clinics among different levels of medical institutions in Wuhan, and to provide a scientific basis for improving hospital infection management. Methods In January 2023, a network questionnaire survey was conducted on medical institutions with fever clinics in Wuhan. Results A total of 72 medical institutions were investigated, of which 58.33% had CT, and 48.61% had fever clinics for children. The total qualified rate of HCAI management was 78.28%. The qualified rates of four primary indicators, including hospital management, diagnosis and treatment environment protection, training and education, and implementation of infection control measures, were 82.27%, 71.49%, 75.93%, and 81.31%, respectively. There were statistical differences among different levels of medical institutions (all P<0.01). Among the 13 secondary indicators, the qualified rates of 7 indicators were more than 80%, with the highest being medical item management (93.06%), medical waste disposal (89.72%), and personnel management (83.33%), and the lowest being facilities and equipment (66.32%), and patients and accompanying personnel education (66.67%). Among the 65 tertiary indicators, 30 had a pass rate great than 80%. Conclusion Wuhan actively promotes the construction of fever clinics in medical institutions, and the overall situation of HCAI management is good. However, there are still some problems to varying degrees, especially in the layout procedures, hand hygiene, and staff training of fever clinics in secondary and lower medical institutions, which should be further strengthened.

Radiotherapy (RT) can potentially induce systemic immune responses by initiating immunogenic cell death (ICD) of tumor cells. However, RT-induced antitumor immunologic responses are sporadic and insufficient against cancer metastases. Herein, we construct multifunctional self-sufficient nanoparticles (MARS) with dual-enzyme activity (GOx and peroxidase-like) to trigger radical storms and activate the cascade-amplified systemic immune responses to suppress both local tumors and metastatic relapse. In addition to limiting the Warburg effect to actualize starvation therapy, MARS catalyzes glucose to produce hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), which is then used in the Cu⁺-mediated Fenton-like reaction and RT sensitization. RT and chemodynamic therapy produce reactive oxygen species in the form of radical storms, which have a robust ICD impact on mobilizing the immune system. Thus, when MARS is combined with RT, potent systemic antitumor immunity can be generated by activating antigen-presenting cells, promoting dendritic cells maturation, increasing the infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and reprogramming the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, the synergistic therapy of RT and MARS effectively suppresses local tumor growth, increases mouse longevity, and results in a 90% reduction in lung metastasis and postoperative recurrence. Overall, we provide a viable approach to treating cancer by inducing radical storms and activating cascade-amplified systemic immunity.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the incidence of anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury(ATB-DILI)and its risk factors.METHODS PubMed,Embase,the Cochrane Library,Web of Science,China Knowledge Network,VIP,Wanfang data and China Biomedical Literature Database were searched to collect cohort studies and case-control studies on the incidence and risk factors of ATB-DILI from the establishment of the database to 31 May 2024.After screening literature,extracting data and evaluating the quality of literature,meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 and RevMan 5.3 software.RESULTS A total of 26 literature involving 38 971 patients were included,of which 4 106 patients suffered from ATB-DILI.Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of ATB-DILI was 12.94％[95％CI(10.82％,15.06％),P＜0.001];subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of ATB-DILI in cohort studies,Chinese studies and pediatric patients was higher(P＜0.001).Age≥60 years,abnormal body mass index,alcoholism,smoking,history of liver disease,hepatitis B surface antigen positivity,extrapulmonary tuberculosis,malnutrition,hypoproteinemia,cardiovascular disease,diabetes mellitus,systemic lupus erythematosus,no prophylactic use of hepatoprotective drugs,and high baseline alanine transaminase levels were risk factors for developing ATB-DILI(P＜0.05).Sensitivity analysis and publication bias analysis showed that the results obtained in this study were relatively robust.CONCLUSIONS The incidence of ATB-DILI in tuberculosis patients is 12.94％.Age≥60 years,abnormal body mass index,alcoholism,smoking,history of liver disease,hepatitis B surface antigen positivity,extrapulmonary tuberculosis,malnutrition,hypoproteinaemia,cardiovascular disease,diabetes mellitus,systemic lupus erythematosus,non-prophy lactic use of hepatoprotective medications,and high baseline levels of alanine transaminase are the risk factors for developing ATB-DILI.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has become an indispensable weapon against high-risk resectable cancers, which benefits from tumor downstaging. However, the utility of chemotherapeutics alone as a neoadjuvant agent is incapable of generating durable therapeutic benefits to prevent postsurgical tumor metastasis and recurrence. Herein, a tactical nanomissile (TALE), equipped with a guidance system (PD-L1 monoclonal antibody), ammunition (mitoxantrone, Mit), and projectile bodies (tertiary amines modified azobenzene derivatives), is designed as a neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy setting, which aims at targeting tumor cells, and fast-releasing Mit owing to the intracellular azoreductase, thereby inducing immunogenic tumor cells death, and forming an in situ tumor vaccine containing damage-associated molecular patterns and multiple tumor antigen epitopes to mobilize the immune system. The formed in situ tumor vaccine can recruit and activate antigen-presenting cells, and ultimately increase the infiltration of CD8⁺ T cells while reversing the immunosuppression microenvironment. Moreover, this approach provokes a robust systemic immune response and immunological memory, as evidenced by preventing 83.3% of mice from postsurgical metastasis or recurrence in the B16-F10 tumor mouse model. Collectively, our results highlight the potential of TALE as a neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy paradigm that can not only debulk tumors but generate a long-term immunosurveillance to maximize the durable benefits of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective To explore the correlation between six characteristics of perioperative hypothermia and allogeneic red blood cell(RBC)transfusions in patients who underwent abdominal surgeries.Methods Patients who underwent abdominal surgeries at West China Hospital,Sichuan University between October 2019 and July 2021 were retrospectively enrolled.A wearable wireless temperature sensor was used to continuously monitor the core body temperature of patients throughout the perioperative period.The perioperative temperature nadir,maximum temperature loss,percentage of time with hypothermia,time-weigh ted average temperature,area under the curve(AUC)at 36 ℃,and AUC at 37 ℃ were calculated for the period from entering the operation room to 24 hours after the end of anesthesia.The restricted cubic spline(RCS)and multiple logistic regression models were used to explore the correlation between these temperature characteristics and perioperative allogeneic RBC transfusions.Results A total of 3119 patients were included in the study,with an allogeneic RBC transfusion rate of 2.8％.The RCS model showed that allogeneic RBC transfusion was associated with the perioperative temperature nadir(Poverall=0.048)and AUC at 36 ℃(Poverall=0.026)and no statistical significance was found in the nonlinear test.The association between allogeneic RBC transfusions and other temperature characteristics was not statistically significant.According to the RCS model results,cut-off points were taken to form groups based on the body temperature characteristics.Multivariate logistic regression showed that the perioperative temperature nadir＜35.5 ℃(odds ratio[OR]=2.47,95％confidence interval[CI]:1.21-5.03)and AUC at 36 ℃≥100 ℃·min(OR=2.24,95％CI:1.09-4.58)were associated with increased demand for allogeneic RBC transfusion.Conclusion Hypothermia is associated with an increased need for perioperative allogeneic RBC transfusions and has a cumulative effect over time.For patients at high risk of bleeding,attention should be paid to the prevention of perioperative hypothermia and reduction in the cumulative exposure to hypothermia,thereby reducing the need for blood transfusion.

Objective:To investigate the construction status of clinical skills training centers of secondary and above comprehensive western hospitals in Yunnan Province, and to provide a basis for the scientific, specific and standardized construction and development of clinical skills training centers of hospitals at all levels in Yunnan Province.Methods:The evaluation index of the construction of clinical skills training center was established, and questionnaires were developed to investigate the current situation of the construction of clinical skills training center in the secondary and above comprehensive western hospitals in the whole province. SPSS 17.0 software was used for chi-square test.Results:According to the investigation, 79.1% (72/91) of secondary and above comprehensive western hospitals in Yunnan Province have established clinical skills centers of different scales, but 84.6% (77/91) of them have fewer than 50 teachers participating in clinical skills teaching each year, with weak faculty and big differences in the faculty of hospitals at all levels ( P<0.05). In 64.6% (84/130) of the centers, the simulated teaching courses are only single basic skill courses, and the training content is relatively single, with great differences in the current situation ( P<0.05). Only 33.0% (30/91) of the centers have initially established an internal quality control system, and there are statistically significant differences in the way of conducting quality evaluation ( P=0.023). Conclusion:The foundation of the connotation construction of the clinical skill center is to establish a complete, professional and gradient teaching team and a stepped clinical skills training curriculum system. The construction of a perfect internal quality control system is the vitality of the development of the clinical skill center, and scientific research is the source of the sustainable development of the center.

The oral microbial community is widely regarded as a latent reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes. This study assessed the molecular epidemiology, susceptibility profile, and resistance mechanisms of 35 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) strains isolated from the dental plaque of a healthy human population. Broth microdilution minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) revealed that all the isolates were nonsusceptible to oxacillin and penicillin G. Most of them were also resistant to trimethoprim (65.7%) and erythromycin (54.3%). The resistance to multiple antibiotics was found to be largely due to the acquisition of plasmid-borne genes. The mecA and dfrA genes were found in all the isolates, mostly dfrG (80%), aacA-aphD (20%), aadD (28.6%), aphA3 (22.9%), msrA (5.7%), and the ermC gene (14.3%). Classical mutational mechanisms found in these isolates were mainly efflux pumps such as qacA (31.4%), qacC (25.7%), tetK (17.1%), and norA (8.6%). Multilocus sequence type analysis revealed that sequence type 59 (ST59) strains comprised 71.43% of the typed isolates, and the eBURST algorithm clustered STs into the clonal complex 2-II(CC2-II). The staphyloccoccal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) type results showed that 25 (71.43%) were assigned to type IV. Moreover, 88.66% of the isolates were found to harbor six or more biofilm-associated genes. The aap, atlE, embp, sdrF, and IS256 genes were detected in all 35 isolates. This research demonstrates that biofilm-positive multiple-antibiotic-resistant ST59-SCCmec IV S. epidermidis strains exist in the dental plaque of healthy people and may be a potential risk for the transmission of antibiotic resistance.
