Aim To investigate the effects of SAHA on the expression of P-gp and the pharmacokinetic pa-rameters of its substrate phenytoin sodium in rats under hypoxic environments.Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into the normioxic group,the hypoxic model group,and the low-,medium-and high-dose vorinostat(SAHA)groups.Liver tissues were col-lected,and the expression levels of P-gp and HDAC5 were detected by Real-time PCR and Western blot.The morphological changes of liver tissues were ob-served by HE staining.Following intragastric adminis-tration of 50 mg·kg-1 phenytoin sodium to each group,blood samples were collected,and the plasma concentration of phenytoin sodium was determined u-sing UFLC-MS/MS to calculate pharmacokinetic pa-rameters.Results Compared with the normoxic group,the expression of HDAC5 in the liver tissues of hypoxia model rats increased,while the expression of P-gp decreased.After SAHA treatment,HDAC5 expression decreased,and P-gp expression increased.Among the SAHA groups,the medium-dose group showed the most significant effect,and HE staining re-sults indicated that this concentration did not cause damage to rat liver tissues.Compared with the normox-ic group,the AUC,Cmax,and T1/2 of phenytoin sodium in hypoxia model rats were significantly raised.After administration of the medium dose of SAHA,the AUC,Cmax,MRT,and T1/2 were significantly reduced,while CLZ/r was significantly increased.Conclusions Un-der hypoxic environments,the expression of P-gp in rat liver tissue is significantly downregulated,leading to increased systemic exposure of phenytoin,reduced clearance,and consequently elevated blood concentra-tions,raising the risk of central nervous system toxici-ty.In contrast,SAHA suppresses HDAC5 expression,thereby activating P-gp transcription and enhancing its efflux function.This results in decreased systemic ex-posure and improved clearance of phenytoin,signifi-cantly reducing drug accumulation in body and ulti-mately lowering the risk of adverse effects.

Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics of adrenal cortical carcinoma(ACC),compare differences between hypercortisolism and non-functional ACC,and assess the diagnostic value of indicators such as Ki-67 index.Methods The clinical data of 57 ACC patients admitted to the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2015 to March 2025 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the results of endocrine function assessment,47 of these patients were divided into hypercortisolism group(n=19)and non-functional group(n=28).The differences in clinical and pathological characteristics between the two groups were compared,and non-parametric tests and Spearman correlation analysis were used to explore the relationship between Ki-67 index and tumor stage as well as imaging features.Results Among the 57 patients,there were 20 males and 37 females,with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.85.The age ranged from 16 to 76 years,and the age at diagnosis was(48.7±13.3)years.The tumor diameter was(10.53±4.14)cm.The tumors were located on the right side in 12 cases(21.1%),on the left side in 34 cases(59.6%),and bilaterally in 11 cases(19.3%).Among them,16 cases(28.1%)were complicated with glucose metabolism disorders,31 cases(54.3%)had hypertension,and 20 cases(35.1%)had hypokalemia.According to ENSAT staging,there were 0 cases in stage Ⅰ,15 cases(26.3%)in stage Ⅱ,24 cases(42.1%)in stage Ⅲ,and 18 cases(31.6%)in stage Ⅳ.Endocrine function assessment was completed in 47 of the 57 patients,including 28 cases(59.6%)of non-functional ACC and 19 cases(40.4%)of hypercortisolism(including 1 case of hypercortisolism combined with increased sex hormone secretion).Compared with non-functional group,hypercortisolism group had a significantly higher prevalence of hypertension(P=0.014),later ENSAT stage(P=0.010),and a higher proportion of hypervascularization(P=0.048).The median Ki-67 index was 20%(10%-40%),showing no significant correlation with either the maximum tumor diameter or SUVmax value,but it was related to ENSAT staging,with Ki-67 index in stageⅣ patients being significantly higher than that in stage Ⅱ(P=0.032).Immunohistochemistry results showed that the positive rate of Inhibin-α was 84.8%,and the positive rate of Melan-A was 40.9%.Conclusions ACC is a rare malignant endocrine tumor.ACC patients with hypercortisolism are more likely to be complicated with hypertension,have later staging,and more common hypervascular manifestations.Clinically,their endocrine function should be prioritized for assessment,and more active treatment strategies should be adopted.Diagnosis should be combined with imaging characteristics(such as hypervascularization)and immunohistochemical indicators(Ki-67,Inhibin-α,Melan-A).The significant increase in Ki-67 is in the advanced stage can serve as an important prognostic indicator to guide individualized treatment.

As a receptor protein,GPR120 is activated by long-chain fatty acids(such as omega-3 fat-ty acids,alpha-linolenic acid,eicosapentaenoic acid,and docosahexaenoic acid.It plays an important regulatory role in gastrointestinal peptide release,inflammation,lipogenesis,glucose tolerance,and insulin sensitivity.In order to study the synergistic regulation of the GPR120 gene on milk fat me-tabolism and its anti-inflammatory effects in dairy cow MAC-T cells,the GPR120 activator TUG-891 and the inhibitor AH7614 were used to treat both dairy cow MAC-T cells and LTA-induced inflammatory dairy cow MAC-T cells.This treatment aimed to detect the expression of key genes involved in milk fat synthesis and inflammatory factors.The results showed that the GPR120 gene activator significantly increased the relative expression levels of cholesterol regulatory element binding protein(SREBP1)and fatty acid synthase(FASN),key genes for milk fat synthesis.Addi-tionally,the expression levels of the inflammatory factor interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were reduced in the inflammatory dairy cow MAC-T cell model,which prelimi-natively reveals that GPR120 co-regulates milk fat and mammary inflammation in dairy cows,thereby laying a foundation for subsequent molecular mechanism research.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic measurement of intra-articular graft length in the application of total internal reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament(ACL).Methods The 60 patients with ACL injury treated between January 2020 and January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 37 males and 23 females,aged from 22 to 44 years.According to the different surgical methods,they were divided into two groups:conventional surgery group(conventional group)and pull-line measurement group(measurement group),with 30 cases in each group.In the conventional group,there were 20 males and 10 females,with an average age of(30.00±3.95)years old;the body mass index(BMI)was(22.58±1.41)kg·m-2;there were 9 cases on the left side and 21 cases on the right side;the time from injury to operation was(3.00±1.35)days.In the measurement group,there were 17 males and 13 females,with an average of(32.00±4.29)years;BMI was(23.29±1.39)kg·m-2;there were 12 cases on the left side and 18 cases on the right side;the time from injury to oper-ation was(3.00±1.27)days.The clinical data of the patients before surgery,6 months after surgery and 12 months after surgery were collected and recorded.The clinical efficacy of the two methods was compared in terms of postoperative VAS,KOOS,Lysholm score,IKDC score,knee stability(Lachman test,anterior drawer test and axial shift test),the degree of widening of bone tunnel diameter measured by CT at different stages of the postoperative period and MRI scoring system.Results At 12 months after surgery,the VAS of the measurement group was lower than that of the conventional group(P＜0.001).At 12 months after surgery,KOOS scores in the measurement group were higher than those in the conventional group,and there were statistical-ly significant differences in all scores except symptom scores(P＜0.05).Six months after operation,Lysholm total score and IKDC total score in the measurement group were higher than those in the conventional group,and the difference was statistically signifi-cant(P＜0.05).At 12 months after surgery,knee stability tests were performed,and the differences between the Lachman test,anterior drawer test and axial shift test measurement group and the conventional group were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).However,overall knee instability analysis showed that the knee stability of the measurement group was better than that of the con-trol group,and the difference between the groups was statistically significant(P=0.038).The imaging assessment of patients in both groups at 6 months after surgery showed that the widening of tendon tunnel diameter in both femur and tibia was reduced in the measurement group compared with the conventional group after surgery,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);MRI scores were higher in all patients in the measurement group those in the conventional group,at 6 months and 12 months agter surgery(P＜0.05).Conclusion Arthroscopic measurement of intra-articular cavity graft length in total internal technique for ACL reconstruction,high tendon utilization,good stability,the knee joint function has recovered satisfactorily within one year,and the therapeutic effect is affirmed.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of primary and secondary pancreatic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) . Methods: Clinical data of patients with pancreatic DLBCL admitted at Shanghai Rui Jin Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from April 2003 to June 2020 were analyzed. Gene mutation profiles were evaluated by targeted sequencing (55 lymphoma-related genes). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to evaluate the prognostic factors of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) . Results: Overall, 80 patients were included; 12 patients had primary pancreatic DLBCL (PPDLBCL), and 68 patients had secondary pancreatic DLBCL (SPDLBCL). Compared with those with PPDLBCL, patients with SPDLBCL had a higher number of affected extranodal sites (P<0.001) and had higher IPI scores (P=0.013). There was no significant difference in the OS (P=0.120) and PFS (P=0.067) between the two groups. Multivariate analysis indicated that IPI intermediate-high/high risk (P=0.025) and double expressor (DE) (P=0.017) were independent adverse prognostic factors of OS in patients with pancreatic DLBCL. IPI intermediate-high/high risk (P=0.021) was an independent adverse prognostic factor of PFS in patients with pancreatic DLBCL. Targeted sequencing of 29 patients showed that the mutation frequency of PIM1, SGK1, BTG2, FAS, MYC, and MYD88 in patients with pancreatic DLBCL were all >20%. PIM1 (P=0.006 for OS, P=0.032 for PFS) and MYD88 (P=0.001 for OS, P=0.017 for PFS) mutations were associated with poor OS and PFS in patients with SPDLBCL. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in the OS and PFS between patients with PPDLBCL and those with SPDLBCL. IPI intermediate-high/high risk and DE were adverse prognostic factors of pancreatic DLBCL. PIM1, SGK1, BTG2, FAS, MYC, and MYD88 were common mutations in pancreatic DLBCL. PIM1 and MYD88 mutations indicated worse prognosis.

RBM46 is a germ cell-specific RNA-binding protein required for gametogenesis, but the targets and molecular functions of RBM46 remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that RBM46 binds at specific motifs in the 3'UTRs of mRNAs encoding multiple meiotic cohesin subunits and show that RBM46 is required for normal synaptonemal complex formation during meiosis initiation. Using a recently reported, high-resolution technique known as LACE-seq and working with low-input cells, we profiled the targets of RBM46 at single-nucleotide resolution in leptotene and zygotene stage gametes. We found that RBM46 preferentially binds target mRNAs containing GCCUAU/GUUCGA motifs in their 3'UTRs regions. In Rbm46 knockout mice, the RBM46-target cohesin subunits displayed unaltered mRNA levels but had reduced translation, resulting in the failed assembly of axial elements, synapsis disruption, and meiotic arrest. Our study thus provides mechanistic insights into the molecular functions of RBM46 in gametogenesis and illustrates the power of LACE-seq for investigations of RNA-binding protein functions when working with low-abundance input materials.
