OBJECTIVE To analyze the influential factors for clinical efficacy of polymyxin B combined with other antibiotics in the treatment of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii （CRAB） pulmonary infection. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with CRAB pulmonary infection in our hospital from May 2021 to October 2024. Information such as age， gender， admitting department， infection status， underlying medical conditions， mechanical ventilation time， combination anti-infective treatment regimens， and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ （APACHE-Ⅱ） score 24 h before medication was compiled. Based on the effectiveness of the treatment， patients were divided into treatment-effective group and treatment-ineffective group. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were employed to identify independent factors influencing clinical efficacy. RESULTS A total of 156 patients were included， and 108 patients were treated effectively， with an effective rate of 69.23%. The results of univariate analysis indicated that there were statistically significant differences between 2 groups in terms of the duration of mechanical ventilation time， APACHE-Ⅱ score 24 h before medication， the number of complication types， the proportion of abnormal coagulation function， anti-infective treatment course， and hospital stay before medication （P＜0.05）. The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that APACHE-Ⅱ score≥15 points 24 h before medication [OR＝2.965， 95%CI （1.284， 6.845）， P＝0.020]， mechanical 20251606） ventilation time≥10 d [OR＝3.577， 95%CI （1.185， 10.793）， P＝0.037] and hospital stay≥14 d before medication [OR＝2.422， 95%CI （1.036， 5.654）， P＝0.041] were independent 15120420253@139.com risk factors， and anti-infective treatment course＞7 d was a protective factor [OR＝0.445， 95%CI （0.221， 0.895）， P＝0.043]. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that the effective rate of polymyxin B combined with other antibiotics in the treatment of CRAB pulmonary infection is less than 70%. The mechanical ventilation time≥10 d， APACHE-Ⅱ score≥15 points 24 h before medication， and hospital stay≥14 d before medication may lead to treatment failure， whereas anti-infective treatment course＞7 d may be associated with treatment success.

Hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC）， as the sixth most common malignant tumor worldwide， poses a serious threat to human health due to its insidious onset and high mortality rate. This article reviews the molecular mechanisms and intervention strategies of gut microbiota （GM） homeostasis in the development and progression of HCC， in order to provide new ideas for the intervention and treatment of HCC. Studies have shown that GM dysbiosis， intestinal leakage， microbial-associated molecular pattern， bacterial translocation， and metabolic products play key roles in the progression of HCC. GM imbalance may lead to immune escape， thereby promoting tumor cell proliferation and metastasis. This article elaborates on the association between GM and HCC， deeply analyzes the mechanism of action of GM in the development and progression of HCC， investigates the role of bile acid-related metabolites， short-chain fatty acid-related metabolites， and other metabolites in HCC， and explores the strategies for targeting GM in the treatment of HCC， including probiotics， prebiotics， antibiotics， Toll-like receptor 4 antagonists， and fecal microbiota transplantation. This article emphasizes that maintaining the integrity of the intestinal barrier and GM homeostasis is of great significance in the prevention and treatment of HCC， which provides a direction for developing new diagnosis and treatment strategies.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the single-stage anterior eccentric kyphotic distraction reduction technique (EKD-RT) for treating lower cervical dislocation with locked facet joints, assessing its reduction success rate, neurological improvement, and safety. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 67 patients with lower cervical dislocation and locked facet joints (21 unilateral, 46 bilateral) treated between January 2015 and January 2024. There were 39 males and 28 females, with an average age of 49.5 years (range, 22-75 years). The injured segments included C _{3, 4} in 4 cases, C _{4, 5} in 13 cases, C _{5, 6} in 22 cases, and C _{6, 7} in 28 cases. The interval between injury and admission ranged from 2 hours to 2 days (mean, 5.6 hours). Preoperative Frankel grading included grade A in 9 cases, grade B in 28 cases, grade C in 17 cases, grade D in 11 cases, and grade E in 2 cases. Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score was 7.0±1.4. All patients underwent single-stage anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Following discectomy at the dislocated level, the EKD-RT was applied to unlock and reduce the locked facet joints, followed by internal fixation. Operation time, blood loss, reduction success rate, and complications were recorded. Interbody fusion status was evaluated using Bridwell criteria. Neurological status was assessed pre- and post-operatively using Frankel grading. Spinal cord function was scored using the 17-point JOA score, and the improvement rate was calculated. RESULTS: Successful reduction of the locked facet joints achieved in all cases. The operation time was 41-85 minutes (range, 63.3 minutes), and intraoperative blood loss was 50-360 mL (range, 125.0 mL). Complications included cerebrospinal fluid leakage in 2 cases; no severe complications such as major vascular injury or recurrent laryngeal nerve injury occurred. All patients were followed up 12-24 months (mean, 17.9 months). At last follow-up, radiological examination confirmed interbody fusion in all patients, with no implant failure or migration. The Frankel grading included grade A in 3 cases, grade B in 9 cases, grade C in 13 cases, grade D in 16 cases, and grade E in 26 cases; the JOA score reached 13.7±2.3; all of which significantly improved compared to preoperative levels ( P<0.05). The improvement rate of JOA score was 66.1%±24.7%. CONCLUSION The EKD-RT is an effective surgical approach for lower cervical dislocation with locked facet joints. It enables safe and efficient reduction of the locked facet joints via a single incision, resulting in significant neurological improvement with a low complication rate.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the association of the expression of WW domain-containing ubiquitin E3 ligase 1 (WWP1) with immune infiltration in tumor microenvironment (TME) of ovarian cancer. METHODS: Ovarian cancer patient data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were used to analyze the association of WWP1 expression with patient prognosis. TISCH2 was utilized to analyze the changes in immune cell subtypes in TME of metastatic tumor and after chemotherapy. The impact of WWP1 on immune cell infiltration, somatic copy number alterations of WWP1 and evolution of immune cell subtypes was evaluated using TIMER and TIGER pseudo-time analysis. A deep learning model was used to analyze TCGA pathological images to investigate the effect of WWP1 on TME of ovarian cancer. RNA-seq analysis was conducted to identify the differentially expressed genes in WWP1-overexpressing SKOV3 cells and validate immune infiltration. Multicolor immunofluorescence assay was used to analyze the immune markers in SKOV3 and SKOV3/DDP cell xenografts in nude mice. RESULTS: The patients with high WWP1 expression levels had significantly lower overall survival rate (P=0.0012). High WWP1 expression levels and Stage IV disease were both associated with a poor prognosis (P<0.05). In metastatic ovarian cancer or after chemotherapy, the percentages of malignant tumor cells and tumor-associated fibroblasts increased in the TME, accompanied by elevated WWP1 levels. WWP1 expression level was positively correlated with pro-tumorigenic immunosuppressive cells (r=0.1323-0.3955, P<0.05) and negatively with tumor-inhibiting immune cells (r=-0.1949- -0.1333, P<0.05). Specific copy number alterations of WWP1 also influenced CD8⁺ T cell percentage and neutrophil infiltration levels in the TME. RNA-seq analysis of WWP1-overexpressing SKOV3 cells and immunofluorescence assay of the tumor-bearing mice yielded findings consistent with those of bioinformatics analysis. CONCLUSIONS WWP1 may serve as a prognostic biomarker and a potential target for immune regulation in the TME of ovarian cancer.

Objective:To study and analyze the status quo and influencing factors of breast cancer patients′ concern about the upbringing of their minor children, and to provide a reference for clinical improvement of the level of breast cancer patients′ concern about parenting.Methods:A total of 247 breast cancer patients in the daytime ward of Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital from March to May 2023 were selected by convenience sampling. The General Information Questionnaire, Parenting Concerns Questionnaire, Parenting Sense of Competence Scale were selected for cross-sectional investigation. The multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of breast cancer patients′ worries about the upbringing of their minor children.Results:Finally, 240 valid questionnaires were ultimately collected. There were 12 patients with breast cancer aged 20-29 years old, 76 patients aged 30-39 years old, 117 patients aged 40-49 years old, and 35 patients aged ≥50 years old. The total score of breast cancer patients′anxiety about minor children′s rearing was (37.34 ± 2.56) points. The scores of each dimension were in order of (15.14 ± 1.02) worry about the actual impact on children, (11.15 ± 0.83) worry about the emotional impact on children, and (11.05 ± 0.71) worry about the parents of children. The total score of parenting competence (66.54 ± 11.68) points. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that parenting competence, educational level, number of underage children, per capita monthly income of families, and TNM stage (T: tumor primary lesion; N: regional lymphnode involvement; M: remote metastasis situation) affected parenting anxiety ( t values were -15.24-8.56, all P<0.05), which could explain 81.2% of the total variation in parenting anxiety level. Conclusions:Breast cancer patients′ concern about the upbringing of minor children is at a medium level, so medical staff should give relevant intervention measures to breast cancer patients with different characteristics, in order to provide reference for reducing the level of concern about the upbringing of minor children.

Corneal transplantation is an effective treatment for corneal blindness, and it is the only hope for patients with corneal blindness. Cornea has no blood vessels and no lymphatic vessels, which is called immune privilege organ, so the success rate of corneal transplantation is significantly higher than that of other organ transplantation, but the rejection reaction after corneal transplantation is still the main reason for the failure of corneal transplantation. The directional movement of immune cells to lymphoid tissue and inflammatory sites is the mainly immune response after organ transplantation. And the regulatory T cells(Treg)play a key role in immune regulation, which can induce immune tolerance by regulating and inhibiting the activation of effector T cells and reduce the rejection reaction after corneal transplantation. In addition, this review also discussed the effectiveness of applying cordyceps sinensis extract FTY720 to enhance the function of Treg. Based on this, we briefly reviewed the sources, mechanism of action and treatment of Treg after corneal transplantation, so as to provide some reference for the subsequent clinical application transformation and basic research.
