Objective To study the effect of panatinib on cholangiocarcinoma(CCA)and its molecular mechanism.Methods QBC939 cells were divided into control group(no treatment),low dose group(0.1 μmol·L-1 panatinib treatment),medium dose group(0.5μmol·L-1panatinib treatment),high dose group(1.0 μmol·L-1 panatinib treatment)and high dose+microRNA-92b-3 group(after treatment with 1.0 μmol·L-1 panatinib transfected miR-92b-3p mimic),high-dose+miR-92b-3p mimic+overexpressed homologous domain interacting protein kinase 3 plasmid(oe-HIPK3)group(after treatment with 1.0 μmol·L-1 panatinib,miR-92b-3p mimic and oe-HIPK3),mimic-NC group(transfected miR-92b-3p NC),and miR-92b-3p mimic group(transfected miR-92b-3p mimic)were transfected.Cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit 8(CCK-8);cell migration was detected by Transwell,the relative expression level of protein was detected by Western blot.Results Cell proliferation rates of control group,high-dose group,high-dose+miR-92b-3p mimic group,and high-dose+miR-92b-3p mimic group mimic+oe-HIPK3 group were(76.58±8.56)％,(61.85±7.77)％,(74.54±7.68)％and(58.63±6.87)％,respectively;the number of cells migrated were 185.32±20.14,132.33±18.99,168.23±19.85 and 138.66±15.95,respectively;phosphorylated phosphatidyl inositide 3-kinase(p-PI3K)/PI3K ratios were 1.00±0.23,0.68±0.09,0.91±0.18 and 0.60±0.08,respectively;phosphorylated protein kinase B(p-AKT)/AKT ratios were 1.00±0.25,0.61±0.08,1.12±0.28 and 0.72±0.14,respectively.The above indexes were compared with those of the control group in the high-dose group,and those of the high-dose+miR-92b-3p mimic group in the high-dose+miR-92b-3p mimic group in the oe-HIPK3 group.There were statistically significant differences(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Panatinib can effectively inhibit the evil biological behavior of cholangiocarcinoma,which may be related to inhibiting the level of miR-92b-3p and promoting HIPK3-mediated PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Perioperative neurocognitive disorder(PND)significantly threatens brain health,leading to prolonged hospitalization,increased patient mortality risk,and poor long-term prognosis.Sleep disorder may substantially elevate the risk of neurocognitive dysfunction.However,the specific role of sleep in PND development remains to be elucidated.In addition,controversy exists over whether interventions for perioperative sleep disorder can effectively prevent PND.Therefore,this review aims to explore the basic function and regulatory principles of sleep,the clinical characteristics of perioperative sleep disorder,its role and potential mechanisms in PND development.Furthermore,we also provide new evidence on the potential therapeutic strategies to modulate sleep disorder for PND management,to improve patient's neurocognitive prognosis and long-term outcomes.

Objective:To study the overall training effect of segmented training model on key fiberoptic bronchoscopy techniques for anesthesiology residents and the influence of key technique training order on the training effect.Methods:Different fiberoptic bronchoscopy simulators were used for specialized training in different key techniques of fiberoptic operation. To examine the effect of key technique learning order on the teaching effect, 40 anesthesiology residents who participated in fiberscope simulation training at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine between November 2022 and March 2023 were selected for this study. They were randomly divided into two groups (Group S and Group M) using a numerical table method. The teaching was completed using two orders of key techniques. The operation time, operation quality score, and theoretical knowledge mastery score of the two groups were recorded to compare the effect of key technique learning order on the mastery of fiberoptic skills. SPSS 29.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. Measurement data that conformed to normal distribution were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and the independent samples t-test or Fisher's exact test were used for comparison between groups. The chi-square test was used for comparison of enumeration data. Results:After segmented training in each key technique, both groups of trainees were able to shorten the operation time of the corresponding key technique [SM simulator operation time (132.25±14.69) s vs. (49.80±4.46) s in group S, P<0.01; M simulator operation time (82.30±11.60) s vs. (57.10±6.77) s in group S, P<0.01; SM simulator operation time (83.10±10.62) s vs. (52.10±5.20) s in group M, P<0.01; M simulator operation time (132.25±14.69) s vs. (55.40±5.91) s in group M, P<0.01)]. Moreover, both groups showed a reduced number of wall touches [SM simulator wall touches (3.35±0.93) times vs. (0.65±0.49) times in group S, P<0.01; M simulator wall touches (2.50±1.05) times vs. (0.70±0.80) times in group S, P<0.01; SM simulator wall touches (1.55±1.15) times vs. (0.40±0.50) times in group M, P<0.01; M simulator wall touches (5.90±1.29) times vs. (1.10±0.79) times in group M, P<0.01]. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the performance score of fiberoptic-guided tracheal intubation after training [(92.50±5.97) points vs. (91.75±5.45) points] and in the lung segment localization time [(23.15±4.39) s, (21.40±4.84) s, (22.85±4.42) s vs. (22.75±5.11) s, (21.00±5.40) s, (21.50±5.10) s]. Conclusions:Segmented training on key fiberoptic bronchoscopy techniques is an effective model of fiberscope training for anesthesiology residents, and the order of training key techniques does not affect the effectiveness of training.

Objective:To investigate two cases of rare pathogenic genes,initiation codon mutations in HBA2 gene,combined with Southeast Asian deletion and their family members to understand the relationship of HBA2:c.2T＞C and HBA2:c.2delT mutations with clinical phenotype.Methods:The peripheral blood of family members was obtained for blood cell analysis and capillary electrophoresis hemoglobin analysis.Gap-PCR and reverse dot blotting(RDB)were used to detect common types of mutations in α-thalassaemia gene.Sanger sequencing was used to analyze HBA1 and HBA2 gene sequence.Results:Two proband genotypes were identified as--SEA/αα with HBA2:c.2T＞C and--SEA/αα with HBA2:c.2delT.HBA2:c.2T＞C/WT and HBA2:c.2delT/WT was detected in family members.They all presented with microcytic hypochromic anemia.Conclusion:When HBA2:c.2T＞C and HBA2:c.2delT are heterozygous that can lead to static α-thalassemia phenotype,and when combined with mild α-thalassemia,they can lead to the clinical manifestations of hemoglobin H disease.This study provides a basis for genetic counseling.

Objective:To perform molecular diagnosis and pedigree analysis for one case with α-thalassemia who does not conform to the genetic laws,and explore the effects of a newly discovered rare mutation(HBA2:c.*12G＞A)on clinical phenotypes.Methods:Blood samples of the proband and her family members were collected for blood routine analysis,and the hemoglobin components were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis.The common α-and β-globin gene loci in Chinese population were detected by conventional techniques(Gap-PCR,RDB-PCR).The α-globin gene sequences(HBA1,HBA2)were analyzed by Sanger sequencing.Results:By analyzing the test results of proband and her family members,the genotype of the proband was-α3,7/HBA2:c.*12G＞A,her father was HBA2:c.*12G＞A heterozygous mutation carrier.Conclusion:This study identifies a rare α-globin gene mutation(HBA2:c.*12G＞A)that has not been reported before.It is found that heterozygous mutation carriers present with static α-thalassemia.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of time in range(TIR)and its relationship with oxidative stress(OS)and insulin resistance status(HOMA-IR)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).Methods According to apnea-hypopnea index(AHI),165 T2DM in patients were divided into simple T2DM group(AHI<5 times/h,n=43),T2DM combine OSAHS mild group(OSAHS-G,5≤AHI<15 times/h,n=51),T2DM combined OSAHS moderate group(OSAHS-M,15≤AHI≤30 times/h,n=40)and T2DM combine OSAHS severe group(OSAHS-S,AHI>30 times/h,n=31).TIR was calculated by dynamic blood glucose monitoring.Superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)and other indexes were detected and analyzed.Results Compared with simple T2DM group,the levels of HOMA-IR,8-iso-PGF2a and Ox-LDL were higher in T2DM combined OSAHS-G,OSAHS-M or OSAHS-S group,while the levels of TIR,SOD and GSH-Px were lower(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that TIR was positively correlated with the levels of SOD and GSH-Px(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and negatively correlated with the levels of 8-iso-PGF2a,Ox-LDL,HbA1c,HOMA-IR and the severity of OSAHS(P<0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that TIR,SOD and GSH-Px were protective factors for severe OSAHS in T2DM patients,while 8-iso-PGE2a and Ox-LDL were the risk factors for severe OSAHS.Conclusions The glucose level fluctuates greatly in patients with T2DM and OSAHS.Insulin resistance and oxidative stress are factors that affect the normalization of TIR.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of axillary transthoracic approach and posterior approach in the treatment of upper thoracic tuberculosis with vertebral clearance, bone graft fusion, and internal fixation surgery.Methods:Fifty five patients with upper thoracic tuberculosis admitted to Changsha Central Hospital, University of South China from March 2017 to March 2022 were selected and divided into axillary transthoracic group and posterior group according to different surgical approaches. The incision length, surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative hospitalization time were compared between the two groups of patients. Two groups of patients were recorded for preoperative and postoperative pain visual analog scale (VAS) scores, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores at 1 week, 3 months, and 12 months, preoperative and postoperative serum inflammatory indicators, CD4 + /CD8 + ratio of T lymphocyte subsets, and complications. Results:The incision length, operation time, and intraoperative blood loss in the axillary transthoracic group were significantly less than those in the posterior group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in postoperative hospitalization time between the two groups of patients ( P>0.05). The VAS and ODI scores of the two groups of patients showed significant improvement compared to preoperative levels at 1 week, 3 months, and 12 months after surgery (all P<0.05); And at 1 week and 3 months after surgery, the VAS scores of patients in the axillary transthoracic group were significantly lower than those in the posterior group (all P<0.05), and the ODI scores at 3 and 12 months after surgery were significantly lower than those in the posterior group (all P<0.05). The erythrocyte sedimentation rate and CRP levels of both groups of patients increased significantly one week after surgery compared with preoperative levels (all P<0.05), but the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and CRP levels basically returned to normal levels at three months after surgery. The CD4 + /CD8 + ratio of T lymphocyte subsets in both groups was lower than preoperative levels at one week after surgery, but with the continuation of treatment, the CD4 + /CD8 + ratio increased significantly at three months after surgery. Conclusions:Both axillary and posterior approaches can be used for surgical treatment of upper thoracic tuberculosis, but axillary and thoracic approaches have the advantages of less trauma, less bleeding, and faster recovery.

Bone organoids can simulate the complex structure and function of the bone tissues, which makes them a frontier technology in organoid researches. Bone organoids show a tremendous potential of applications in bone disease modeling, bone injury repair, and medicine screening. Although advancements have been made so far in constructing bone organoids with functional structures like mineralization, bone marrow, trabecular bone, callus, woven bone, etc, the researches in this field are confronted with numerous challenges such as lack of standardized construction strategies and unified evaluation criteria, which limits their further promotion and application. To standardize researches in bone organoids, the Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatric Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, the Youth Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Association, the Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Surgeon Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and the Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine organized related experts to formulate Expert consensus on the construction, evaluation, and application of bone organoids ( version 2024) based on an evidence-based approach. A total of 17 recommendations were put forth, aiming to standardize researches and clinical applications of bone organoids and enhance their value in scientific research and clinical practice.

Background/Aims: Low educational attainment is a well-established risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in developed areas. However, the association between educational attainment and the risk of NAFLD is less clear in China. Methods: A cross-sectional study including over 200,000 Chinese adults across mainland China was conducted. Information on education level and lifestyle factors were obtained through standard questionnaires, while NAFLD and advanced fibrosis were diagnosed using validated formulas. Outcomes included the risk of NAFLD in the general population and high probability of fibrosis among patients with NAFLD. Logistic regression analysis was employed to estimate the risk of NAFLD and fibrosis across education levels. A causal mediation model was used to explore the potential mediators. Results: Comparing with those receiving primary school education, the multi-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for NAFLD were 1.28 (1.16 to 1.41) for men and 0.94 (0.89 to 0.99) for women with college education after accounting for body mass index. When considering waist circumference, the odds ratios (95% CIs) were 0.94 (0.86 to 1.04) for men and 0.88 (0.80 to 0.97) for women, respectively. The proportions mediated by general and central obesity were 51.00% and 68.04% for men, while for women the proportions were 48.58% and 32.58%, respectively. Furthermore, NAFLD patients with lower educational attainment showed an incremental increased risk of advanced fibrosis in both genders. Conclusions In China, a low education level was associated with a higher risk of prevalent NAFLD in women, as well as high probability of fibrosis in both genders.
