Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of dual fluorescence laparoscopy in the localization of ureteral stricture and its blood supply,and to provide a new idea for the treatment of complex ureteral stenosis,thus helping doctors to improve the efficiency of ureteral reconstruction surgery. Methods: Our team developed a dual fluorescence laparoscopic system,which could simultaneously identify the ureter stricture by intra-ureteral injection of methylene blue (MB) and assess the blood supply of the ureteral stumps by intravenous injection of indocyanine green (ICG). Results: The clinical data of 3 patients who underwent lingual mucosa ureteroplasty using dual fluorescence laparoscopy in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University were retrospectively analyzed.All operations were successful,without conversion to open surgery.The operation time was 144,132 and 163 minutes,respectively.The length of harvested lingual mucosa graft was 2.0,2.8 and 3.5 cm,respectively.No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred.Eight weeks after operation,ureterography showed that the ureter was unobstructed. Conclusion: Dual fluorescence laparoscopy is safe and feasible in the repair of complex ureteral stricture with lingual mucosa graft,which provides a new idea for complex ureteral reconstruction.

Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies are rapidly expanding the exploration of chemical space, facilitating innovative drug discovery. However, the transformation of novel compounds into safe and effective drugs remains a lengthy, high-risk, and costly process. Comprehensive early-stage evaluation is essential for reducing costs and improving the success rate of drug development. Despite this need, no comprehensive tool currently supports systematic evaluation and efficient screening. Here, we present druglikeFilter, a deep learning-based framework designed to assess drug-likeness across four critical dimensions: 1) physicochemical rule evaluated by systematic determination, 2) toxicity alert investigated from multiple perspectives, 3) binding affinity measured by dual-path analysis, and 4) compound synthesizability assessed by retro-route prediction. By enabling automated, multidimensional filtering of compound libraries, druglikeFilter not only streamlines the drug development process but also plays a crucial role in advancing research efforts towards viable drug candidates, which can be freely accessed at https://idrblab.org/drugfilter/.

Megestrol acetate is widely used in clinical practice and offers benefits to patients. However, it carries potential adverse effects, such as hypoadrenocorticism, which is often overlooked due to its atypical clinical manifestations. This report describes two cases of megestrol acetate-induced hypoadrenocorticism. Through a review of relevant literature, the mechanisms, clinical characteristics, and treatment strategies are summarized to enhance clinicians′ awareness of this potential complication.

Objective To explore the targets and mechanisms of Tongguanteng Injection in inhibiting the proliferation and migration of cervical cancer.Methods The biological activity of Tongguanteng Injection in inhibiting human cervical cancer SiHa cells was determined by MTT method.Detecting the effect of Tongguanteng Injection on SiHa cell migration through wound healing assay.Using network pharmacology to collect the key targets for treating cervical cancer,and perform molecular docking and enrichment analysis on the targets.Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the key proteins to validate the network pharmacology predictions.Result Tongguanteng Injection significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration in a dose-dependent manner in human cervical cancer SiHa cells.Based on the main active ingredients of Marsdenia tenacissima,81 therapeutic targets for cervical cancer were obtained,which may treat cervical cancer by affecting key proteins such as FGF2,MAPK1,and MAPK3.Immunohistochemical results indicated that FGF2,MAPK1 and MAPK3 were expressed in cervical cancer tissues.The western bolt assays showed that Tongguanteng Injection could significantly reduce the FGF2 protein expression.Meanwhile,the MAPK1 and MAPK3 protein expressions were significantly increased.Conclusion Tongguanteng Injection may regulate the FGF2,MAPK1 and MAPK3,effectively impede the proliferation and migration of cervical cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of lingual mucosal graft ureteroplasty (LMGU) for managing long-segment (≥5 cm) ureteral strictures in a multi-institutional cohort of patients.Methods:A multi-center retrospective case series study was conducted on clinical data from 42 patients undergoing LMGU for long-segment ureteral strictures (≥5 cm) across five institutions between February 2017 and June 2024. The cohort comprised 31 males and 11 females, with an age of (43.4±12.0) years (range: 15 to 64 years) and a body mass index of (24.6±2.6) kg/m2 (range: 16.0 to 30.0 kg/m2). Strictures involved the left ureter in 24 cases and right ureter in 18 cases, demonstrating a stricture length of (6.4±1.5) cm (range: 5.0 to 11.5 cm). Surgical interventions included either onlay ureteroplasty or augmented anastomotic ureteroplasty, selected according to intraoperative findings. Intraoperative parameters, postoperative complications, and follow-up outcomes were analyzed.Results:Laparoscopic surgery was performed in 22 cases and robot-assisted surgery in 20 cases. Among the 42 patients, 22 underwent onlay ureteroplasty while 20 received augmented anastomotic ureteroplasty. The graft length was (5.9±1.8) cm (range: 3.0 to 12.0 cm), operative time (191.5±55.6) minutes (range: 105.0 to 350.0 minutes), and intraoperative estimated blood loss (86.7±73.6) ml (range: 10.0 to 400.0 ml). All procedures were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery. The postoperative hospital stay was (7.6±2.0) days (range: 4.0 to 15.0 days), with double-J stent removal at 6 to 8 weeks postoperatively. During a follow-up of (49.1±25.0) months (range: 12.0 to 99.0 months), no stricture recurrence was observed in any patient.Conclusion:LMGU is a safe, feasible, and effective long-term technique for managing long-segment (≥5 cm) ureteral strictures.
