Objective To develop a damage control operation(DCO)simulation training platform for traumatic brain injury(TBI)in wartime based on mixed reality to open up a new path for surgical skills training of military surgeons.Methods The platform mainly consisted of wartime TBI DCO simulation training software,a surgical manikin and a HoloLens 2 MR device.The simulating training software was developed with C# language and the technologies of MR,basic gestures,spatial scanning positioning and etc on the basis of constructed surgical decision-making training system,virtual surgical environment and functional modules.The surgical manikin was customized with reference to the standard body type of an adult male with a height of 180 cm,and an electronic chip was developed and placed inside the head of the manikin to execute data matching with the simulation training software.The simulation training software was installed and run in the HoloLens 2 MR device to realize TBI DCO simulation training on the virtual reality interactive model.Results The platform developed implemented the functions of virtual reality interactive model reset positioning,operation simulation training,examination and on-site demonstration,which gained advantages in stimulating learning interest and facilitating risk-free,time-and space-indepen-dent,immersive and interactive learning and was generally recognized by the trainees.Conclusion The simulation training platform can be a supplementary to other training means to improve the ability of military surgeons in damage control operation.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2024,45(2):17-21]

Objective To explore the effect of urine mixing degree on 24-hour urinary total protein(24 h UTP)in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD).Methods From October 1,2023 to December 31,2023,30 hospitalized patients who needed to complete 24 h UTP testing in Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University were selected.A 5 L unified container was used to collect urine for 24 hours.After collection and one hour's standing,the urine sample was divided into upper,middle,and lower equal parts according to volume,which was defined as direct-sampling group.Then,the urine samples were fully mixed with a magnetic stirrer and sampled again according to the above-mentioned three-equal sampling method,which was defined as mixed-sampling group.The generalized estimating equation was used to compare the urinary protein concentration before and after mixing and at different sampling location.Results The results of generalized estimating equation showed that after controlling the variable"sampling position",there was no significant difference in urinary protein concentration between the direct-sampling group and the mixed-sampling group.After controlling the variable"mixing method",there was still no significant difference in urinary protein concentration at different sampling positions.After adjusting the covariates such as age,gender,and estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),the results were consistent.Conclusions With standard protocol,the entire 24-hour urine sample is a relatively even-distributed solution.After the total urine collection is completed,the temporary sample can be directly extracted from any level of the original urine within 1 hour,and the urine protein concentration of the sample multiplied by the urine volume can reflect the 24 h UTR.

Objective: To explore the feasibility and application value of intraoperative direct immunohistochemical (IHC) staining in improving the diagnosis accuracy in difficult cases of bronchiolar adenoma (BA). Methods: Nineteen cases with single or multiple pulmonary ground-glass nodules or solid nodules indicated by imaging in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January to July 2021 and with difficulty in differential diagnosis at frozen HE sections were selected. In the experimental group, direct IHC staining of cytokeratin 5/6 (CK5/6) and p63 was performed on frozen sections to assist the differentiation of BA from in situ/micro-invasive adenocarcinoma/adenocarcinoma/invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma. In the control group, two pathologists performed routine frozen HE section diagnosis on these 19 cases. The diagnostic results of paraffin sections were used as the gold standard. The sensitivity and specificity of BA diagnosis, consistency with paraffin diagnosis and time used for frozen diagnosis were compared between the experimental group and the control group. Results: The basal cells of BA were highlighted by CK5/6 and p63 staining. There were no basal cells in the in situ/microinvasive adenocarcinoma/adenocarcinoma/invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma. In the experimental group, the sensitivity and specificity with aid of direct IHC staining for BA were 100% and 86.7%, respectively, and the Kappa value of frozen and paraffin diagnosis was 0.732, and these were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The average time consumption in the experimental group (32.4 min) was only 7 min longer than that in the control group (25.4 min). Conclusions: Direct IHC staining can improve the accuracy of BA diagnosis intraoperatively and reduce the risk of misdiagnosis, but require significantly longer time. Thus frozen direct IHC staining should be restricted to cases with difficulty in differentiating benign from malignant diseases, especially when the surgical modalities differ based on the frozen diagnosis.

Results It was found that at the 0 hour and the 120th hour PH, the ratio value of KLF4 mRNA showed 1. 00±0. 16 and 3. 14±0. 27, miR-881-3p displays 18. 30±1. 44 and 0. 47±0. 02, circRNA_20298 indicated 0. 32±0. 10 and 4. 24±0. 22, circRNA_14826 showed 0. 42±0. 13 and 0. 61±0. 08. At the same time, the four kinds of cell apoptosis-related genes adrenoceptor beta 2 (ADRB2), dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 2 (DDAH2), annexin A5 (ANXA5), ect, which were promoted in expression by KLF4, were down-regulated at 0 hour after PH, but the cell apoptosis-related genes synuclein gamma (SNCG), glutathione-disulfide reductase (GSR), FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain containing 4 (FGD4), ect, which were inhibited in expression by KLF4, were up-regulated at 0 hour after PH. On the other hand, the cell apoptosis-related genes ANXA5 and thymosin beta 10 (TMSB10), which are promoted in expression by KLF4, were up-regulated at the 120th hour after PH, but the cell apoptosis-related genes chloride intracellular channel 4 (CLIC4) and ataxin 3 (ATXN3), ect, which were inhibited in expression by KLF4, were down-regulated at the 120th hour after PH. Conclusion The correlation in expression and role of the miRNAs, which are inhibited by circRNAs, KLF4, its mRNA is inhibited by miRNAs, and the cell apoptosis-related genes, which are regulated by KLF4, are helpful for the hepatocyte to be in active state 0 hour after PH and to be in apoptotic state 120-hour after PH.

Objective:To explore the multi-component， multi-target and multi-pathway mechanism of Astragali Radix against immunoglobulin A nephropathy （IgAN） by network pharmacology， aiming to provide evidence for its basic research and clinical application. Method:The active chemical components and targets of Astragali Radix and targets associated with IgAN were obtained by literature mining and GeneCards， Traditinal Chinese Medicine Integrated Database （TCMID）， Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform （TCMSP） databases. Cytoscape 3.7.1 software was used to draw network interaction diagrams. The key targets of Astragali Radix against IgAN were searched by network topology. Gene ontology （GO） analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway analysis involved in the targets were analyzed by different packages in R programming language. On this basis， cell experiments in vitro were carried out to verify the activation effect of astragaloside Ⅳ on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/tumor suppressor gene protein 53 （PI3K/Akt/p53） signaling pathway of human mesangial cells. Result:A total of 25 active components and 49 ingredient-disease targets of Astragali Radix were screened. The GO enrichment analysis included 84 items， which were related to nuclear hormone receptor binding， nuclear receptor activity， deoxyribonucleic acid binding transcriptional activation activity and other aspects. The KEGG pathway enrichment analysis included 88 KEGG pathways， which were closely related to PI3K/Akt signaling pathway， hypoxia inducible factor-1 （HIF-1） signaling pathway， advanced glycation end product/receptor of advanced glycation end product （AGE/RAGE） signaling pathway and others. Cell experiments in vitro confirmed that astragaloside Ⅳ could effectively inhibit the platelet derived growth factor-BB （PDGF-BB）-induced proliferation of human mesangial cells by regulating PI3K/Akt/p53 signaling pathway. Conclusion:The active ingredients of Astragali Radix may play a role in the treatment of IgAN by acting on targets and pathways related to apoptosis， oxidative stress， inflammation response and others， providing ideas and directions for the new drug development and mechanism study of IgAN.

Mitochondria are an essential component of multicellular life and play important roles in the health of the cells and the body. Mitochondria can produce energy by oxidative phosphorylation, mediate calcium and reactive oxygen signal transduction, and regulate cell apoptosis. Recent studies indicate that mitochondria continually change their shapes and distribution by fission and fusion, which are collectively termed mitochondrial dynamics. Mitochondrial dynamics play critical roles in maintaining mitochondrial function. This review focuses on the structure and biological functions of mitochondrial fission and fusion related proteins in mammal cells.

Purpose To study the expression of biomolecules of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway including CD44,TRIM24,TAGLN-2,ER and PR in breast invasive ductal carcinoma,and to explore their clinicopathologic significance.Methods The expression of CD44,TRIM24,TAGLN-2,ER and PR in 73 cases of breast invasive ductal carcinoma were detected by immunohistochemist~ (IHC) technology.And the relationship between the expression of these biomarkers and the age of patients,tumor size,histological grade,lymph node metastasis was analyzed.Besides,the influence of these biomarkers on prognosis and the relationship between the expression of these biomarkers were also analyzed.Results There was no significant relationship between the expression of these biomarkers and the age of patients,tumor size,histological grade,lymph node metastasis.CD44 expression was positively conelated with TAGLN-2 expression (r =0.311,P =0.007),TRIM24 expression was positively correlated with TAGLN-2 expression (r =0.421,P =0.000).CD44 expression was negatively correlated with ER expression (r =-0.285,P =0.015).ER expression was positively correlated with PR expression (r =0.598,P =0.000).The postoperative 5-year cumulative survival-rate of CD44 positive group was lower than those of CD44 negative group (P =0.002),in contrast,the postoperative 5-year survival rate of ER positive group was higher than those of ER negative group (P =0.026).Conclusion Through PI3K-AKT signaling pathway,CD44 and TRIM24 may up-regulate TAGLN-2 expression,however,CD44 may down-regulate ER and PR expression.CD44 and ER may act an useful predictor for the prognosis of breast invasive ductal carcinoma.Combined detection of CD44,ER and PR may provide additional therapeutic information which may be useful in breast cancer treatment.
