The plasma membrane (PM) plays an essential role in maintaining cell homeostasis, therefore, timely and effective repair of damage caused by factors such as mechanical rupture, pore-forming toxins, or pore-forming proteins is crucial for cell survival. PM damage induces membrane rupture and stimulates an immune response. However, damage resulting from regulated cell death processes, including pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and necroptosis, cannot be repaired by simple sealing mechanisms and thus, requires specialized repair machinery. Recent research has identified a PM repair mechanism of regulated cell death-related injury, mediated by the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) machinery. Here, we review recent progress in elucidating the ESCRT machinery-mediated repair mechanism of PM injury, with particular focus on processes related to regulated cell death. This overview, along with continued research in this field, may provide novel insights into therapeutic targets for diseases associated with dysregulation of regulated cell death pathways.

Objective To investigate the levels and influencing factors for eye lens dose of interventional radiology workers, and to provide a basis for reasonable and scientific radiation protection. Methods Thermoluminescent eye lens dosimeters were used to monitor the left and right eye lens doses of interventional radiology workers in real time during different surgical positions and varying eye protection conditions. The annual eye lens doses for the operators were estimated based on their yearly workload. The differences in eye lens doses under different conditions were analyzed and the influencing factors were identified. Results For individual interventional operations, the range of personal dose equivalent H_p(3) of the left eye of interventional radiology workers was ( < MDL ~ 418.33) μSv, the median (Q₁, Q₃) was 9.29 ( < MDL, 40.79) μSv, and the mean was 40.79 ± 70.36 μSv. The estimated annual eye lens doses were 4.05 mSv and 17.80 mSv based on the median and mean values of the eye lens dose of a single operation multiplied by average annual frequency of operations per person, respectively. The left eye lens dose was higher than the right eye lens dose of the same operator (Z = −4.24, P < 0.05), and the dose of the right eye lens was strongly positively correlated with that of the left eye lens. The left eye lens dose of the first surgeon was higher than that of the second surgeon in the same operation (Z = −3.10, P < 0.05). The eye lens dose was influenced by operator position (χ² = 9.149, P = 0.002, OR = 8.343), eye protection (χ² = 4.619, P = 0.032, OR = 4.352), and air kerma area product (χ² = 8.032, P = 0.005, OR = 5.488). Conclusion According to the results of this study, a significant portion of interventional operators have eye lens doses that approach or exceed international occupational dose limits. It is recommended to pay attention to the operation frequency of the first operator and the air kerma area product of interventional operation, and strengthen radiation protection and dose monitoring for the eye lens of interventional radiology workers.

OBJECTIVE: To conduct a comprehensive analysis of proximal humeral anatomical characteristics in the Chinese population utilizing three-dimensional reconstruction technology, thereby establishing an evidence base for the enhancement of shoulder hemiarthroplasty procedures and the development of domestically manufactured prostheses. METHODS: The study cohort comprised 30 patients (60 shoulders) presenting with cervicoscapular pain between July 2023 and June 2025, with equal gender distribution (15 males and 15 females); age distribution ranged from 20 to 75 years (mean, 53.7 years). Data acquisition was performed via high-resolution CT imaging (technical parameters: slice thickness 0.625 mm, voltage 120 kV, current 150 mA, matrix 512×512). Subsequently, CT datasets were processed in DICOM format using Mimics17.0 software for three-dimensional reconstruction, followed by quantitative assessment via Imageware12.0 software to evaluate key proximal humeral parameters: humeral head dimensions (coronal diameter, sagittal diameter, surface curvature diameter, thickness), angular measurements [neck-shaft angle, retroversion angle (retroversion angle 1 was the angle between the humeral head axis and the line connecting the medial and lateral condyles, and retroversion angle 2 was the angle between the humeral head axis and the tangent of the trochlea)], and positional metrics (medial offset, posterior offset). Statistical analysis incorporated Pearson correlation coefficients to determine parameter relationships, with comparative evaluations conducted across demographic variables including gender, height, body mass, and age. RESULTS: Quantitative analysis yielded the following measurements: humeral head coronal diameter (41.8±3.6) mm, sagittal diameter (39.1±4.1) mm, surface curvature diameter (44.9±4.6) mm, thickness (17.2±1.8) mm, neck-shaft angle (128.4±4.2)°, retroversion angle 1 (16.9±8.9)°, retroversion angle 2 (21.4±11.3)°, medial offset (3.8±1.7) mm, and posterior offset (5.1±1.6) mm. Correlation analysis demonstrated the most pronounced positive relationship between humeral head surface curvature diameter and thickness ( r=0.966, P=0.001), with additional significant positive correlations observed between surface curvature diameter and coronal diameter ( r=0.842, P=0.001), posterior offset and retroversion angle 1 ( r=0.766, P=0.001), and coronal diameter and thickness ( r=0.727, P=0.001). Demographic analysis revealed significantly greater dimensions in males compared to females for humeral head surface curvature diameter, coronal diameter, sagittal diameter, and thickness ( P<0.05), with these parameters demonstrating progressive increases corresponding to height ( P<0.05). With the exception of neck-shaft angle, all parameters exhibited a positive correlation with body mass. No significant age-related differences were detected across parameters ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION The proximal humeral morphology in the Chinese population exhibits substantial variability, necessitating optimization of prosthetic designs based on population-specific anatomical metrics to enhance the efficacy of personalized clinical interventions.

BACKGROUND: Early control of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is crucial for reducing the progress of cardiovascular disease. However, its additional role to the risk of primary osteoporosis in men with coronary heart disease was inconclusive. Our study aims to determine the association of LDL-C and its trajectories for osteoporosis risk in the middle-aged and aged men of China. METHODS: The retrospective cohort study of 1546 men aged 69.74 ± 11.30 years conducted in Beijing, China from 2015 to 2022. And the incidence of primary osteoporosis was annually recorded. LDL-C trajectories were further identified by latent class growth model using repeated measurements of LDL-C. The association of baseline LDL-C for osteoporosis was estimated using hazard ratio (HR) with 95% CI in Cox proportional hazard model, while mean level and trajectories of LDL-C for osteoporosis were evaluated using odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI in logistic regression model. RESULTS: During the median 6.2-year follow-up period, 70 men developed primary osteoporosis. The higher level of baseline LDL-C (HR = 1.539, 95% CI: 1.012-2.342) and mean LDL-C (OR = 2.190, 95% CI: 1.443-3.324) were associated with higher risk of osteoporosis in men with coronary heart disease after adjusted for covariates. Compared with those in the LDL-C trajectory of low-stable decrease, participants with medium-fluctuant trajectory, whose longitudinal LDL-C started with a medium LDL-C level and appeared an increase and then decrease, were negatively associated with osteoporosis risk (OR = 2.451, 95% CI: 1.152-5.216). And participants with initially high LDL-C level and then a rapid decrease demonstrated a tendency towards reduced risk (OR = 0.718, 95% CI: 0.212-2.437). CONCLUSIONS Elevated LDL-C level and its long-term fluctuation may increase the risk of primary osteoporosis in men. Early controlling a stable level of LDL-C is also essential for bone health.

Chronic rhinosinusitis（CRS） is a chronic inflammation of the nasal cavity and sinus mucosa, which is mainly characterized by nasal obstruction, runny nose, headache and hyposmia. Due to complex mechanisms, CRS can be divided into different clinical phenotypes and inflammatory endotypes. Approximately 80% of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps（CRSwNP） patients present with type Ⅱ inflammation. IL-4 and IL-13 are the key factors in the process of type Ⅱ inflammation, and drugs targeting IL-4/IL-13 provide new options for the treatment of CRSwNP. Therefore, this article mainly reviews the application of anti-IL-4 /IL-13 monoclonal antibody in CRSwNP.

Lung cancer is the cancer with the highest incidence of morbidity and mortality in the world, and the number of lung cancer cases in China is also increasing year by year, which seriously threatens the life and health of human beings. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) refer to the tumor cell that falls off from primary tumor tissue or metastatic focus into the peripheral blood, which is the key to tumor metastasis. Currently, there are various methods for CTCs testing, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. In recent years, there have been numerous studies on the application of CTCs in lung cancer around the world. Further exploration of the progress of clinical application of CTCs in lung cancer can provide a new basis for the role of CTCs in early diagnosis, efficacy assessment and prognostic monitoring of lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of 9S management combined with plan-do-check-adjust(PDCA)cycle on the incidence of nonstandard surgical instrument handover in urological endoscopic surgery in operating room and supply room.Methods A total of 760 instruments of urological endoscopic surgery used from June 2022 to December 2022 were selected as control group and received routine management.A total of 920 instruments of urological endoscopic surgery used from January 2023 to June 2023 were selected as observation group,and 9S management and PDCA cycle management mode were administrated in instrument handover.The management performance and the satisfaction of surgeons to the instrument nursing staff were compared between the two groups.Results The accuracy of instrument identification and master rate of assembly and disassembly of instruments in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of instrument cleaning and packaging errors in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The satisfaction of surgeons to the instrument nursing staff in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,but no significant difference was found(P>0.05).Conclusion The 9S management combined with PDCA cycle management solves the problem of transport and handover of urological instruments between operating room and supply room,decreases the error rates of disassembly,cleaning,assembly and packaging of instruments,improves work efficiency,reduces the probability of instrument damage,and saves costs.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of hypothermia after extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in prostate cancer patients over 80 years old,so as to improve the effectiveness of treatment.Methods The clinical data of 26 cases of prostate cancer patients over 80 years old who underwent extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in Shanghai 411 hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were analyzed retrospectively.The incidence of postoperative hypothermia was investigated.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the related factors of postoperative hypothermia in elderly patients.Results The incidence of hypothermia was 61.54%(16/26).Univariate analysis indicated that body mass index(BMI),intraoperative thermal insulation,intraoperative infusion volume,operation time,and anesthesia time were related to the occurrence of postoperative hypothermia in elderly patients(all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that BMI≤24,intraoperative infusion volume>2 000 ml,anesthesia time>3 h and operation time>2.5 h were high risk factors for postoperative hypothermia in patients over 80 years old.Conclusion The independent influencing factors of hypothermia after extraperitoneal laparoscopic prostatectomy for selected prostate cancer patients over 80 years old are BMI,intraoperative infusion volume,duration of anesthesia,and operation time.These factors should be paid more attention during perioperative period in order to improve clinical safety.

Lymphatic metastasis is the main metastatic route for colorectal cancer, which increases the risk of cancer recurrence and distant metastasis. The properties of the lymph node metastatic colorectal cancer (LNM-CRC) cells are poorly understood, and effective therapies are still lacking. Here, we found that hypoxia-induced fibroblast activation protein alpha (FAPα) expression in LNM-CRC cells. Gain- or loss-function experiments demonstrated that FAPα enhanced tumor cell migration, invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, stemness, and lymphangiogenesis via activation of the STAT3 pathway. In addition, FAPα in tumor cells induced extracellular matrix remodeling and established an immunosuppressive environment via recruiting regulatory T cells, to promote colorectal cancer lymph node metastasis (CRCLNM). Z-GP-DAVLBH, a FAPα-activated prodrug, inhibited CRCLNM by targeting FAPα-positive LNM-CRC cells. Our study highlights the role of FAPα in tumor cells in CRCLNM and provides a potential therapeutic target and promising strategy for CRCLNM.

Objective To investigate the relationship between perioperative nutritional risk and venous thromboembolism(VTE)in patients with hip fracture.Methods A total of 379 patients with unilateral hip fracture due to fall or sprain who underwent elective surgery were selected and divided into the non-VTE group(246 cases)and the VTE group(133 cases)according to whether or not VTE occurred during perioperative period.Basic information,surgical and anesthesia records,nutritional risk related indicators,inflammatory indicators and outcome indicators of patients were collected.Multiple Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent influencing factors of perioperative VTE.Receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curves were used to assess the ability to discriminate independent factors,and DeLong test was used to compare area under the curve(AUC).Results Compared with the non-VTE group,the proportion of patients in the VTE group was older,complicated with hypertension,the time to visit hospital more than 2 days,received(hollow/intramedullary nail)internal fixation,perioperative blood transfusion,ASA gradeⅢtoⅣ,and higher nutritional risk screening Table(NRS)-2002 scores on admission and higher postoperative neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR).Nutritional prognosis index(PNI),hemoglobin(Hb)and prealbumin(PA)at admission and after operation were lower in the VTE group than those in the non-VTE group(P＜0.01).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that PNI was decreased,NRS-2002 scores and PA were increased,and the time of visit hospital was>2 days after internal fixation.American College of Anesthesiologists(ASA)gradesⅢ-Ⅳwere independent risk factors for perioperative VTE of hip fracture(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC(95%CI)of NRS-2002 at admission was 0.739(0.692-0.783),and that of PNI at admission was 0.720(0.672-0.765),both of which were better than other influencing factors(P＜0.01).Conclusion NRS-2002 and PNI are good predictors of perioperative VTE in patients with hip fracture.
