Objective To investigate the correlation between spread through air space (STAS) of sub-centimeter non-small cell lung cancer and clinical characteristics and radiological features, constructing a nomogram risk prediction model for STAS to provide a reference for the preoperative planning of sub-centimeter non-small cell lung cancer patients. Methods The data of patients with sub-centimeter non-small cell lung cancer who underwent surgical treatment in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2022 to October 2023 were retrospectively collected. According to the pathological diagnosis of whether the tumor was accompanied with STAS, they were divided into a STAS positive group and a STAS negative group. The clinical and radiological data of the two groups were collected for univariate logistic regression analysis, and the variables with statistical differences were included in the multivariate analysis. Finally, independent risk factors for STAS were screened out and a nomogram model was constructed. The sensitivity and specificity were calculated based on the Youden index, and area under the curve (AUC), calibration plots and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the performance of the model. Results A total of 112 patients were collected, which included 17 patients in the STAS positive group, consisting of 11 males and 6 females, with a mean age of (59.0±10.3) years. The STAS negative group included 95 patients, with 30 males and 65 females, and a mean age of (56.8±10.3) years. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that male, anti-GAGE7 antibody positive, mean CT value and spiculation were associated with the occurrence of STAS (P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that associations between STAS and male (OR=5.974, 95%CI 1.495 to 23.872), anti-GAGE7 antibody positive (OR=11.760, 95%CI 1.619 to 85.408) and mean CT value (OR=1.008, 95%CI 1.004 to 1.013) were still significant (P<0.05), while the association between STAS and spiculation was not significant anymore (P=0.438). Based on the above three independent predictors, a nomogram model of STAS in sub-centimeter non-small cell lung cancer was constructed. The AUC value of the model was 0.890, the sensitivity was 76.5%, and the specificity was 91.6%. The calibration curve was well fitted, suggesting that the model had a good prediction efficiency for STAS. The DCA plot showed that the model had a good clinically utility. Conclusion Male, anti-GAGE7 antibody positive and mean CT value are independent predictors of STAS positivity of sub-centimeter non-small cell lung cancer, and the nomogram model established in this study has a good predictive value and provides reference for preoperative planning of patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of different types of tricuspid regurgitation, implantation positions, and device models on the treatment outcomes of K-Clip for tricuspid regurgitation using numerical simulations. Methods Three-dimensional reconstruction of the heart model was performed based on CT images. Two different regurgitation orifices were obtained by modifying the standard parameterized tricuspid valve leaflets and chordae tendineae. The effects of different K-Clip models at different implantation positions (posterior leaflet midpoint, anterior-posterior commissure, anterior leaflet midpoint, posterior septal commissure) were simulated using commercial explicit dynamics software Ls-Dyna. Conclusion For the two types of regurgitation in this study, clipping at the posterior leaflet midpoint resulted in a better reduction of the regurgitation orifice (up to 75% reduction in area). Higher clamping forces were required for implantation at the anterior leaflet midpoint and posterior septal commissure, which was unfavorable for the smooth closure of the clipping components. There was no statistical difference in the treatment outcomes between the 18T and 16T K-Clip components, and the 16T component required less clamping force. Therefore, the use of the 16T K-Clip component is recommended.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of HEMO-FISS-QoL(HF-QoL) questionnaire (HF-QoL-C) in the Chinese population with hemorrhoids.Methods:From November 2021 to November 2022, a self-constructed general information questionnaire, HF-QoL-C, and the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36), Goligher classification, and Giordano severity of hemorrhoid symptom questionnaire (GSQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 760 hemorrhoid patients in the anorectal department of six hospitals. The data was analyzed for reliability and validity using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 26.0 software.Results:The Cronbach's α coefficient of HF-QoL-C and its dimension ranged from 0.831 to 0.960, and the split coefficient was 0.832-0.915. Four common factors were extracted through principal component exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable structural validity( χ2/ df=8.152, RSMEA=0.097, CFI=0.881, IFI=0.881, NFI=0.867). HF-QoL-C was correlated with SF36 and GSQ( r=-0.694, 0.501, both P<0.01). There were differences in the total score and dimensional scores of HF-QoL-C between surgical and drug treated patients, different grades of Goligher classification for hemorrhoidal disease, and different ranges of hemorrhoid prolapse (all P<0.001). No ceiling effect was found in the total score and the scores of each dimension(0.3%-2.0%). There was a floor effect in both psychological function and sexual activity dimensions (16.7%, 35.1%). Conclusion:HF-QoL-C has good reliability and validity, which can be used to measure the quality of life of Chinese hemorrhoid patients.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of ursolic acid (UA) on the growth, invasion, apoptosis and metastasis of human colorectal cancer cells SW620 and find out the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS The effects of different concentrations (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 μmol/L) of UA on the proliferation of SW620 cells for different durations (24, 48, 72 h) were detected by CCK-8 assay; the clone formation was detected by clone formation assay after SW620 cells were treated with different concentrations of UA (0,10,15,20 μmol/L) for 10 days. After SW620 cells were treated with different concentrations of UA (0, 10, 15, 20 μmol/L) for 24 hours, flow cytometry, Transwell invasion assay and Western blot assay were adopted to detect apoptosis and invasion of SW620 cells, and the expressions of B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), cleaved-poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (cleaved-PARP), phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-p38 MAPK), p38 MAPK, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and zinc finger transcription factor Snail. The effects of p38 MAPK inhibitor (SB203580) combined with UA on the protein expressions of p-p38 MAPK, Bcl-2 and N-cadherin were investigated. RESULTS Compared with 0 μmol/L UA, the stone5999@163.com survival rates of SW620 cells treated with 5-30 μmol/L UA for 24, 48 and 72 h were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The clone formation rate of cells treated with 15 μmol/L and 20 μmol/L UA was significantly decreased (P<0.05). After being treated with 15 μmol/L and 20 μmol/L UA, the cell apoptosis rate, the protein expressions of cleaved-PARP and E-cadherin, and the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK protein were increased; but the number of transmembrane cells, and the protein expressions of Bcl-2, Snail and N-cadherin were decreased; there was statistical significance in difference of most indexes (P<0.05). Some indexes changed in a concentration-dependent manner (P<0.05). SB203580 could significantly inhibit the upregulation of p38 MAPK by UA and reverse the inhibitory effect of UA on the protein expressions of Bcl-2 and N-cadherin (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS UA can inhibit the growth, invasion and metastasis of SW620 cells, and induce cell apoptosis, the mechanism of which may be attributed to the activation of p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of sequential therapy with parathyroid hormone analogues and bisphosphonates for osteoporosis. METHODS PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, Wanfang data, and SinoMed were searched in both English and Chinese databases from their inception to March 25, 2024. Two researchers independently conducted literature searches, screening, and data extraction. Review Manager 5.4 software was used for the meta-analysis. Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were performed based on different medication sequences in the treatment group to account for potential sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS A total of 7 randomized controlled trials involving 2 461 participants were included, with 1 215 in the treatment group and 1 246 in the control group. The meta-analysis results showed that the treatment group using sequential therapy with parathyroid hormone analogues and bisphosphonates had superior effects on improving bone mineral density at the lumbar spine [SMD=0.90, 95%CI (0.44, 1.35), P<0.001], total hip [SMD=0.68, 95%CI (0.14, 1.21), P=0.01], and femoral neck [SMD=0.45, 95%CI (0.04, 0.86), P=0.03] compared to the control group. It also significantly outperformed the control group in reducing the incidence of fractures post- treatment [OR=0.72, 95%CI (0.54, 0.97), P=0.03].significant difference was noted in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups [OR=1.21, 95%CI (0.99, 1.46), P=0.06]. Subgroup analysis based on intervention measures in the treatment group showed that switching from bisphosphonates to parathyroid hormone analogues [SMD=0.56, 95%CI (0.09, 1.03), P=0.02] or switching from parathyroid hormone analogues to bisphosphonates [SMD=0.97, 95%CI (0.49, 1.46), P<0.001] both significantly potentiated lumbar spine bone mineral density compared to the control group. Switching from bisphosphonates to parathyroid hormone analogues also significantly promoted total hip bone mineral density compared to the control group [SMD=0.66, 95%CI (0.18, 1.13), P=0.007]. Sensitivity analysis indicated that the results of this study were robust. CONCLUSIONS Sequential therapy with parathyroid hormone analogues and bisphosphonates can be recommended as an effective treatment for patients with osteoporosis, with good safety profiles. The medication sequences should be individually adjusted based on the patient’s particular situation and the different responses of various skeletal sites.
