Objective To investigate the effect of Gd-hydroxyapatite(Gd-HA)stents with adipose mesenchymal cells(ADSCs)on the repair of knee articular cartilage defects.Methods To isolate,culture,and identify rabbit ADSCs by establishing a rabbit knee joint full-thickness cartilage defect model,a total of 18 rabbits were randomly divided into blank control group,Gd-HA scaffold group,and ADSCs+Gd-HA scaffold group.At week 12 and 24 after surgery,International Curtilage Repair Society(ICRS)score,HE,toluidine blue,modified red O bright green and ColⅡ were detected by immunohistochemical staining,then ColⅡand GAG mRNA expression levels were detected by O'Driscoll and Real-time PCR.ColⅡ protein expression was detected by Western blotting,GAG content was detected by DMMB,biomechanical strength was detected by indentation test,and PKH26 labeled ADSCs was used to trace the tissue engineering scaffold with Gd-HA composite ADSCs to evaluate the repair effect of rabbit knee cartilage defects.Results The ADSCs isolated and cultured in vitro showed good growth,stable phenotype and good directional differentiation through macroscopic observation and histological staining,it could be seen that the repair degree and effect of the knee joint full-thickness cartilage defect model implanted with Gd-HA scaffold group were better than those of the blank control group,while the cartilage repair situation of the ADSCs+Gd-HA scaffold group was better than that of the Gd-HA scaffold group(P＜0.05);The ICRS and improved O'Driscoll scores were higher than the other two groups(P＜0.05).Compared with the Gd-HA group,the ADSCs+Gd-HA group could produce ColⅡ and GAG during the process of cartilage repair,with stronger mechanical strength of the repaired tissue(P＜0.05);PKH26 labeled ADSCs were found in the repaired tissues of the ADSCs+Gd-HA group,and they were involved in the composition of newly formed tissues.Conclusion Gd-HA scaffold material combined with ADSCs has a good repair effect on full-thickness cartilage defects in the knee joint as a new type of biological material for repairing joint cartilage defects.

Objective:To observe the expression level of long noncoding RNA RP11-97C16.1 in bladder cancer tissues and its relationship with the survival time of bladder cancer patients, and to explore the role and potential molecular mechanism of RP11-97C16.1 in the proliferation of bladder cancer cells.Methods:The expression difference of RP11-97C16.1 in bladder cancer tissue and adjacent tissue was analyzed by TCGA database, and the relationship between the expression level of RP11-97C16.1 and the survival time of bladder cancer patients was analyzed by GEPIA database. The expression of RP11-97C16.1 in four bladder cancer cell lines (T24, MGH-U3, J82, UM-UC-3) was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The UM-UC-3 cells were divided into RP11-97C16.1 group and control group, and the transfectants were pcDNA-RP11-97C16.1 plasmid and negative control plasmid, respectively. The expression levels of RP11-97C16.1 and miR-3687 were detected by RT-qPCR. The viability and proliferation ability of UM-UC-3 cells were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) and colony formation assay. The complementary relationship between RP11-97C16.1 and miR-3687 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. The expression levels of Cyclin E2, CDK2, CDK4, CDK6 and Cyclin D2 were detected by Western blotting. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), independent sample t-test was used for comparison between two groups, and one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups. Results:Compared with adjacent tissues, the expression of RP11-97C16.1 in bladder cancer tissues was significantly decreased ( P<0.01). Compared with patients with lower expression of RP11-97C16.1, patients with higher expression of RP11-97C16.1 had longer overall survival time ( P<0.01). Compared with the SV-HUC-1 cell line, the expression of RP11-97C16.1 was significantly decreased in the four bladder cancer cell lines ( P<0.01). In UM-UC-3 cells in which RP11-97C16.1 was upregulated, the expression of miR-3687 was decreased ( P<0.01). Compared with the control group, up-regulation of RP11-97C16.1 could significantly reduce the proliferation ability of UM-UC-3 cells ( P<0.05), and decrease the number of bladder cancer cell colonies ( P<0.01). RP11-97C16.1 could target and bind miR-3687 ( P<0.01). Compared with the control group, overexpression of RP11-97C16.1 could significantly decreased the expression of Cyclin E2, CDK2, CDK4, CDK6, and Cyclin D2 proteins. Conclusions:The expression of RP11-97C16.1 is low in bladder cancer tissue, and patients with higher expression of RP11-97C16.1 have a longer survival time. Up-regulation of RP11-97C16.1 can down-regulate the expression of miR-3687, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of bladder cancer cells UM-UC-3.

With obesity rates climbing worldwide, metabolic and bariatric surgery has evolved over seven decades into a pivotal therapeutic approach for treating severe obesity and related disorders. Recent research highlights that new anti-diabetic and weight-loss drugs, especially GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA), are catalyzing a paradigm shift in obesity management. Within this context, the key scientific challenge in metabolic surgery is thoroughly investigating how pharmacological interventions and surgical procedures work together in weight management, especially evaluating if new drugs can match bariatric surgery's long-term effectiveness, complication management, and metabolic changes. Resolving this interdisciplinary debate will influence precision medicine in obesity treatment and reshape future multidisciplinary care models for metabolic disorders.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of intraosseous regional administration (IORA) of vancomycin for preventing infection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 124 patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing TKA between February 2024 and May 2024 at nine hospitals were enrolled. Preoperative infection prophylaxis involved either IORA (0.5 g vancomycin administered via intraosseous regional infusion before incision) or intravenous infusion (1 g vancomycin via peripheral vein). The IORA group included 15 males and 47 females with a median age of 66.5 years (range, 60.0-70.0 years), while the intravenous group included 14 males and 48 females with a median age of 66.0 years (range, 61.8-70.3 years) years. Intraoperative samples were collected including fat and synovium tissues after incision, before prosthesis placement, and after tourniquet release; distal femoral cancellous bone during femoral osteotomy; proximal tibial cancellous bone during tibial osteotomy; proximal intercondylar cancellous bone before prosthesis placement; and peripheral blood from non-infused arms at surgery initiation and after tourniquet release. Vancomycin concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Vital sign changes were recorded from admission to 5~10 minutes post-IORA (IORA group) or post-incision (intravenous group). Follow-ups were conducted on postoperative day 1 and 3, and at 1 and 3 months, to document complications including IORA-related adverse events, periprosthetic joint infections, surgical site infections, red man syndrome, acute kidney injury, deep vein thrombosis and so on.Results:Vancomycin concentrations in bone, fat, and synovial tissue samples were significantly higher in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05), while vancomycin concentrations in blood samples were significantly lower in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05). Only 7.3%(41/558) of tissue samples in the IORA group had vancomycin concentrations below 2.0 μg/g (the minimum inhibitory concentration of vancomycin against coagulase-negative staphylococcus), compared to 59.3%(331/558) in the intravenous group (χ 2=11.285, P<0.001). In the intravenous group, 16.9%(21/124) of blood samples had vancomycin concentrations exceeding 15.0 mg/L (the threshold associated with a significantly increased risk of nephrotoxicity), while all concentrations in the IORA group were below this threshold, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=22.943, P<0.001). There were no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) in vital signs changes before and after vancomycin administration between the two groups. Two patients in the intravenous group experienced incision exudate, while no other related complications occurred in either group. Conclusions:Compared to the traditional intravenous infusion of 1 g vancomycin, intraosseous injection of a low dose (0.5 g) of vancomycin achieves higher local tissue concentrations in the knee joint with a lower incidence of adverse reactions and is safe for infection prophylaxis. Despite guidelines not recommending the routine use of vancomycin for preventing infection after primary TKA, intraosseous injection of 0.5 g vancomycin may be considered intraoperatively for primary TKA in the following scenarios: patients in medical institutions with a high prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, patients with potential preoperative MRSA colonization, or patients with cephalosporin allergy.

Background and Aims:Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colorectum(MAC)is a distinct histologic subtype of colorectal cancer characterized by high malignancy and low diagnostic accuracy of preoperative biopsy,posing challenges for clinical decision-making.Given the critical role of the inflammatory microenvironment in tumor progression,this study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram model integrating preoperative systemic inflammatory indicators and clinical features to improve the preoperative diagnosis of MAC.Methods:Clinical data of 293 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent radical resection between June 2017 and June 2022 at the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of South China were retrospectively analyzed.Based on postoperative pathology,patients were classified into the mucinous adenocarcinoma(MAC)group and the non-specific adenocarcinoma(AC)group.Propensity score matching(PSM,1∶1)was used to balance age,T stage,and N stage.Differences in preoperative inflammatory indices were compared between groups.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of MAC,which were incorporated into a diagnostic nomogram.The model's discrimination,calibration,and clinical utility were evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC),calibration plots,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results:Among the 293 patients,46 had MAC and 247 had AC,with a preoperative colonoscopic diagnostic rate of 54%for MAC.After PSM(43 pairs),platelet count,platelet lymphocyte ratio(PLR),systemic immune inflammation index(SII),inflammation related prognostic index(IPI),and systemic inflammation score(SIS)were significantly higher in the MAC group,while lymphocyte monocyte ratio(LMR)was lower(all P<0.05).Multivariate analysis identified tumor location,maximum tumor diameter,and preoperative IPI as independent predictors.The AUCs of the nomogram in the training(n=206)and validation(n=87)cohorts were 0.759(95%CI=0.662-0.856)and 0.776(95%CI=0.649-0.903),respectively.Calibration plots showed good agreement between predicted and observed probabilities,and DCA demonstrated satisfactory clinical applicability.Conclusion:A nomogram model integrating tumor location,tumor size,and preoperative IPI was successfully developed and validated for preoperative diagnosis of colorectal MAC.This model provides a practical,quantitative tool with good predictive performance to assist clinicians in individualized treatment planning,particularly for patients ineligible for surgical biopsy.

Objective:Currently, there is a lack of targeted training programs for resident physicians in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in China. This study aims to establish a stratified training indicator system for resident physicians in CPR that is in line with the medical realities in China.Methods:Expert consultation questionnaires were designed through literature review, group discussions, and surveys. Two rounds of expert consultation were conducted using the modified Delphi method to develop the stratified training indicator system for resident physicians in CPR. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0 software and Kendall's coefficient of concordance was used to assess the consistency of expert opinions.Results:A total of 15 experts participated in two rounds of questionnaire consultation, with a positive coefficient of 100.00% and an authority coefficient of 0.91, indicating high expert engagement and authority, thus ensuring the credibility of the results. The coefficient of variation for expert ratings in the first round of questionnaire consultation ranged from 0 to 0.40, with a concordance coefficient of 0.22 ( P<0.001). In the second round of questionnaire consultation, the coefficient of variation for expert ratings ranged from 0 to 0.24, with a concordance coefficient of 0.25 ( P<0.001). The Kendall's coefficient of concordance for expert opinions showed statistically significant differences in both rounds of questionnaire consultation, indicating consensus among experts and reliable results. This system consisted of 6 primary indicators and 32 secondary indicators. Conclusions:Based on the modified Delphi method, this study established a stratified training indicator system for resident physicians in CPR. In the future, based on the research findings, CPR training programs adapted to the medical realities in China will be developed and promoted to validate their scientific and practical value.

With the increasing use of nirmatrelvir-ritonavir in older COVID-19 patients, adverse drug reactions due to drug-drug interactions have become more frequent. This report describes a patient who experienced severe bradycardia and hypotension following the concurrent use of heart rate-control medications and nirmatrelvir-ritonavir during an active COVID-19 infection. This suggests that clinicians should be cautious when dealing with nirmatrelvir-ritonavir and try their best to avoid serious adverse reactions.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of atherogenic index of plasma(AIP)combined with neutro-phil/HDL-C ratio(NHR),lymphocyte/HDL-C ratio(LHR)and monocyte/HDL-C ratio(MHR)for major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods:This retrospec-tive study enrolled 320 patients underwent coronary angiography in Department of Cardiovascular Medicine,Harri-son International Peace Hospital between January 2021 and December 2022,including 215 ACS patients and 105 pa-tients without ACS;according to Gensini score,ACS patients were divided into low risk group(n=50),medium risk group(n=70)and high risk group(n=95).According to the presence of MACE within 1 year,patients were divided into MACE group(n=55)and no MACE group(n=160).After admission,blood routine,blood lipids,C-reactive protein(CRP)and endothelin-1(ET-1)levels were measured,then NHR,LHR,MHR and AIP were calculated.Spearman method was used to analyze the association of above-mentioned indexes with Gensini score;stepwise Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of MACE within 1 year in ACS patients;and ROC curve was used to analyze the predictive value of single and combined detection of above indexes for MACE within 1 year in ACS patients.Results:Compared to patients in no ACS group,those in ACS group had significantly higher BMI[(23.59±0.85)kg/m2 vs.(21.57±1.16)kg/m2],proportions of hypertension(57.67％vs.13.33％),diabetes(23.26％vs.8.57％),NHR[(12.09±3.46)vs.(3.81±1.29)],MHR[(0.70±0.18)vs.(0.33±0.10)],LHR[(0.79±0.21)vs.(0.40±0.09)],AIP[(0.21±0.06)vs.(0.11±0.02)],CRP[(9.82±3.09)mg/L vs.(2.20±0.58)mg/L],ET-1[(31.25±10.34)μg/L vs.(10.60±1.96)μg/L](P＜0.001 all).Compared to those in no MACE group,patients in MACE group had significantly higher NHR[(17.33±3.87)vs.(10.12±2.68)],MHR[(0.93±0.24)vs.(0.61±0.13)],LHR[(1.05±0.27)vs.(0.71±0.16)],AIP[(0.28±0.04)vs.(0.17±0.02)],CRP[(15.52±3.83)mg/L vs.(7.69±2.40)mg/L],ET-1[(46.68±9.51)μg/L vs.(25.47±4.66)μg/L]levels(P＜0.001 all).Spearman correlation analysis showed that NHR,MHR,LHR and AIP were significant positively correlated with Gensini score(r=0.837～0.868,P＜0.001 all).Stepwise Logistic regression analysis showed that NHR(OR=1.225,95％CI 1.016～1.550,P=0.035),AIP(OR=2.632,95％CI 1.055～6.566,P=0.038)were independent risk factors for MACE within 1 year in ACS patients.ROC curve shows that AUC of AIP combined with NHR,MHR and LHR predicting MACE within 1 year in ACS patients was 0.786(95％CI 0.725～0.839),which was significantly higher than those of NHR(AUC 0.768,95％CI 0.706～0.823),LHR(AUC 0.749,95％CI 0.686～0.806)and AIP(AUC 0.764,95％CI 0.701～0.819)alone(Z=2.597,2.687,1.965,P＜0.05 or＜0.01).Conclusion:AIP combined with NHR,MHR and LHR have certain predictive value for MACE within 1 year in ACS patients.
