Objective To investigate the safety, economic benefits and psychological effects of day breast conserving surgery for breast cancer. Methods The demographic data and clinical data of breast cancer patients undergoing day (day surgery group) and ward (ward surgery group) breast conserving surgeries in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from March 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively collected; the demographic data, clinical data, medical and related transportation costs, and preoperative and postoperative BREAST-Q scores of breast cancer patients undergoing day (day surgery group) and ward (ward surgery group) breast conserving surgery in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from June 2021 to June 2022 were prospectively collected. The safety, economic benefit, and psychological satisfaction of day surgery was analyzed. Results A total of 42 women with breast cancer were included in the retrospective study and 39 women with breast cancer were included in the prospective study. In both prospective and retrospective studies, the mean age of patients in both groups were <50 years. There were only statistical differences between the two groups in the aspects of hypertension (P=0.022), neoadjuvant chemotherapy (P=0.037) and postoperative pathological estrogen receptor (P=0.033) in the prospective study. In postoperative complications, there were no statistical differences in the surgical-related complications or anesthesia-related complications between the two groups in either the prospective study or the retrospective study (P>0.05). In terms of the overall cost, we found that the day surgery group was more economical than the ward surgery group in the prospective study (P=0.002). There were no statistical differences in postoperative psychosocical well-being, sexual well-being, satisfaction with breasts or chest condition between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion It is safe and reliable to carry out breast conserving surgery in day surgery center under strict management standards, which can save medical costs and will not cause great psychological burden to patients.

Objective To investigate the role of knockdown of peroxiredoxin-6(PRDX6)in injury and adaptive expression of bile acid transporter in human hepatoellular carcinomas(HepG2)cells induced by rifampicin(RFP).Methods Cells in logarithmic growth phase were uniformly inoculated in six-well plates,and HepG2 cells were transiently transfected with specific PRDX6-siRNA and control-siRNA to construct the knockdown group and control group.After 24 h of induction with 100 μmol/L RFP,Western blot and qRT-PCR were performed to detect the protein and gene expression levels of PRDX6,multidrug resistance protein 1(MDR1),multidrug resist-ance-associated proteins 2,3 and 4(MRP2,MRP3 and MRP4),and Na+/taurine taurocholate cotransporter pro-tein(NTCP).Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining assay was used to detect the apoptosis rate of cells in each group;CCK-8 assay was used to detect the changes of cell proliferation in each group;The relative contents of ala-nine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),total bilirubin(TBIL),indirect bilirubin(IBIL)and total bile acid(TBA)in the supernatant of cell culture medium of each group were detected by kits.Results RFP increased the protein and gene expression levels of MRP2,MRP3,MRP4,MDR1,NTCP and PRDX6 in HepG2 cells(P<0.05),while the protein and gene expression levels of MRP2,MRP3,MRP4,MDR1 and NTCP decreased to different degrees after PRDX6 knockdown(P<0.05).In addition,PRDX6 knockdown re-sulted in increased apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells(P<0.05),decreased cell proliferation ability(P<0.05),and increased levels of cell injury markers(ALT,AST,TBIL,DBIL,TBA)in cell culture supernatants(P<0.05).Conclusion RFP increased the protein and gene expression of bile acid transporter and PRDX6 to increase in HepG2 cells.However,following knockdown of PRDX6 and treatment with RFP,the protein and gene expression levels of the bile acid transporter decreased and cell injury was aggravated,suggesting that PRDX6 played a protec-tive role in RFP-induced adaptive response in HepG2 cells.

Objective:To explore the application effect of intelligent referral mode in examinees with major positive results in physical examinations in a health medical center.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2022 to December 2023 with subjects receiving physical examinations. Those subjects with major positive results from January 2022 to December 2022 in the Health Medical Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were selected as the routine referral group, and those with major positive results from January 2023 to December 2023 were selected as the intelligent referral group. The routine referral group received routine health education from the chief inspector in the health medical center, suggesting them to get outpatient consultation. On the basis of ordinary referral, the intelligent referral group received health education from a referral team composed of nurses and specialists based on internet technology to digitally integrate and share patients′ medical records, examination results, imaging data and other medical information. The subects in the intelligent referral group were provided with a green channel for outpatient consultation and medical treatment immediately. The visiting rate, hospitalization rate, average visiting time, and overall satisfaction of the subjects after being notified of abnormal results were compared between the two groups. According to the positive results, the subjects were divided into four subgroups: ultrasound examination group, radiology group, clinical laboratory group and blood pressure group.Results:After the notification, there were significant differences in hospital visit rate (84.8% vs 67.2%, χ 2=168.4), hospitalization rate (48.8% vs 36.5%, χ 2=17.80), average visit time (116 min vs 301 min, Z=-15.82), and overall satisfaction score (9.70±0.62 vs 8.29±1.26, t=-33.47) between intelligent referral group and general referral group (all P<0.01). The classification statistics of major abnormal results showed that the consultation rates in subjects with ultrasound, radiology, clinical laboratory and blood pressure abnormities in the intelligent referral group were all higher than those in the general referral group (87.9% vs 70.4%, 89.9% vs 70.6%, 80.6% vs 60.2%, 57.2% vs 41.3%, respectively; χ 2=41.91, 39.37, 19.37, 6.20, all P<0.05); the hospitalization rates in subjects with ultrasound, radiology and blood pressure abnormities in the intelligent referral group were all higher than those in the general referral group (66.8% vs 64%, 55.7% vs 42.2%, 18.7% vs 11.2%, respectively; χ 2=16.86, 11.91, 8.68, all P<0.05); the mean consultation times in subjects with ultrasound, radiology and clinical laboratory abnormities in the intelligent referral group were all significantly shorter than those in the general referral group (96 min vs 308 min, 110 min vs 300 min, 122 min vs 286 min, Z=-11.38, -9.27, -7.63, all P<0.01); the overall satisfaction scores in subjects with ultrasound examination, radiology, clinical laboratory and blood pressure abnormities in the intelligent referral group were all higher than those in the general referral group (9.69±0.60 vs 8.36±1.21, 9.09±0.62 vs 8.26±1.27, 9.74±0.69 vs 8.25±1.31; 9.68±0.59 vs 8.34±1.35, respectively; t=-18.47, -18.52, -14.42, -11.77, all P<0.01). Conclusions:The application of intelligent referral mode can improve the visiting rate and hospitalization rate of examinees with major positive results of physical examination, shorten their visiting time, and thus improve their satisfaction.

Due to the limitations of current anti-HBV therapies, the HBV core (HBc or HBcAg) protein assembly modulators (CpAMs) are believed to be potential anti-HBV agents. Therefore, discovering safe and efficient CpAMs is of great value. In this study, we established a HiBiT-based high-throughput screening system targeting HBc and screened novel CpAMs from an in-house marine chemicals library. A novel lead compound 8a, a derivative of the marine natural product naamidine J, has been successfully screened for potential anti-HBV activity. Bioactivity-driven synthesis was then conducted, and the structure‒activity relationship was analyzed, resulting in the discovery of the most effective compound 11a (IC50 = 0.24 μmol/L). Furthermore, 11a was found to significantly inhibit HBV replication in multiple cell models and exhibit a synergistic effect with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and IFNa2 in vitro for anti-HBV activity. Treatment with 11a in a hydrodynamic-injection mouse model demonstrated significant anti-HBV activity without apparent hepatotoxicity. These findings suggest that the naamidine J derivative 11a could be used as the HBV core protein assembly modulator to develop safe and effective anti-HBV therapies.

Objective :
To investigate the effect of mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) on the adaptive expression of bile acid transporter in human hepatoellular carcinomas (HepG2) induced by rifampicin (RFP) .
Methods:
The control group cell line (Y07) and the knockdown group cell line (Y25) were constructed by lentiviral stable transfection technology.The Y07 and Y25 cells were treated with RFP of 200 μmol / L for 48 h, and qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the protein and gene expression levels of MANF,bile salt export pump ( BSEP) ,multidrug resistance-related proteins 2 /3 /4 ( MRP2 ,MRP3 ,MRP4) ,multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) ,organic solute transporter a / β ( OSTα/ β) ,organic anion transporter ( OATP2B1) .The protein and gene expression levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen ( PCNA) ,proliferating cell marker Ki67 were used to evaluate the proliferation of cells in each group changes in levels.Changes in the protein and gene expression levels of C / EBP homologous protein( CHOP) and cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3 ( Caspase-3) were used to evaluate the apoptosis of cells in each group.The relative contents of alanine aminotransferase(ALT) ,aspartate aminotransferase(AST) ,alkaline phosphatase ( ALP) ,total bilirubin ( TBIL) ,indirect bilirubin ( IBIL) and total bile acid(TBA) in the supernatant of cell culture medium of each group were detected by kits.
Results:
RFP could induce the protein and gene expression of MANF,BSEP ,MRP2 ,MRP3 ,MRP4 ,MDR1 ,OSTα , OSTβ , OATP2B1 in HepG2 cells (P <0. 05 ) ,while the protein and gene expression levels of BSEP ,MRP2 ,MRP3, MRP4,MDR1,OSTα、OSTβ、OATP2B1 decreased after MANF knockdown(P<0. 05) .Moreover,under the action of RFP,the protein expression of PCNA and Ki67 in the knockdown group was still higher.The protein and gene levels of CHOP and Caspase-3 significantly increased after MANF knockdown(P<0. 05) .The levels of the hepatic cell injury markers in the cell supernatant increased significantly(P<0. 05) .
Conclusion
RFP can induce the expression of bile acid transporter such as BSEP,MRP2,MRP3,MRP4,MDR1,OSTα , OSTβ and OATP2B1 to increase in HepG2 cells(P<0. 05) ,but the expression of bile acid transporter of HepG2 after MANF knockdown will significantly decrease under the induction of rifampicin(P<0. 05) ,and cell indury is aggravated,indicating that MANF plays a protective role in RFP-induced adaptive responses by regulating the bile acid transporter.

Objective:To explore the effects of bladder volumes from CT simulation on bladder volume consistency and set-up errors during radiotherapy for prostate cancer, aiming to provide a reference for clinical practice.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted for of 66 prostate cancer patients treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy in the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from August 2015 to November 2020. They underwent CT scan or radiotherapy after voluntarily holding in urine. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were performed for them to measure their set-up errors in left-right (L-R), superior-inferior (S-I), and anterior-posterior (A-P) directions before each treatment. The bladder contours of the patients were delineated on CT simulation images and CBCT images. Accordingly, bladder volumes were calculated. Based on the calculated bladder volumes derived from the CT simulation images, the patients were divided into three groups: 18 cases in the 200-300 ml group, 24 cases in the 300-400 ml group, and 24 cases in the >400 ml group. Finally, this study analyzed the effects of bladder volumes derived from CT simulation on set-up errors and the changes of CBCT-derived bladder volumes relative to planned volumes during radiotherapy.Results:The bladder volumes in the 200-300 ml, 300-400 ml, and >400 ml groups during radiotherapy were reduced by 15%, 26%, and 32%, respectively. The pairwise comparison indicates statistically significant differences in the changes of bladder volumes among the three groups ( Z=3.43, 7.97, 4.83, P<0.05). Regarding the three-dimensional set-up errors, there were statistically significant differences in S-I set-up errors among the three groups ( H=26.72, P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in L-R and A-P set-up errors ( P>0.05) among these groups. The 200-300 ml, 300-400 ml, and >400 ml groups exhibited S-I set-up errors of 0.00 (-0.20, 0.20) cm, 0.00 (-0.20, 0.30) cm, and -0.10 (-0.30, 0.20) cm, respectively. Therefore, the >400 ml group displayed larger the S-I set-up errors than other two groups, with statistically significant differences ( Z=4.17, 4.66, P< 0.05), while there was no statistically significant differences in S-I set-up errors between other two groups ( P> 0.05). Conclusions:Controlling the bladder filling volumes at 200-300 ml in CT simulation is beneficial for maintaining bladder volume consistency and reducing set-up errors of patients during radiotherapy.
