[摘 要] 目的:探讨m6A调控因子在宫颈癌预后评估、免疫微环境特征及治疗反应中的作用,构建基于m6A调控因子的预后风险模型,并分析其与免疫浸润、药物敏感性及细胞间通信的关系。方法:基于TCGA和GEO数据库中宫颈鳞癌及腺癌(CESC)转录组数据,分析22个m6A调控因子的表达与突变情况;采用LASSO‑Cox回归构建m6A相关预后风险模型,并依据风险评分将患者分为高、低风险组。利用CIBERSORT和ESTIMATE算法评估两组免疫细胞浸润及微环境特征;通过oncoPredict预测抗肿瘤药物敏感性。整合单细胞转录组数据(E-MTAB-12305),采用CellChat分析细胞间通信网络。结果:共鉴定出12个在宫颈癌中差异表达的m6A调控因子。高风险组患者总生存期缩短(P < 0.05),免疫评分降低,且对紫杉醇、氟尿嘧啶、多柔比星等抗肿瘤药物敏感性较差(IC50较高)。单细胞分析显示宫颈癌组织中细胞间通信网络发生改变,其中T细胞与内皮/上皮细胞间的相互作用可能主要由CCL5‑ACKR1和MIF‑(CD74 + CXCR4)配体‑受体介导。在临床样本中,对关键的m6A调控因子进行mRNA和蛋白水平的验证,结果显示部分调控因子在宫颈癌组织中的表达水平高于正常宫颈组织(P < 0.05)。结论:m6A调控因子特征可有效预测宫颈癌患者预后,其风险评分与肿瘤免疫浸润、药物敏感性及细胞通信密切相关,为宫颈癌的预后分层及个体化治疗提供了新的分子依据。

AIM: To evaluate the effects of different corneal cap thicknesses during small-incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)on corneal densitometry(CD), visual quality, and corneal biomechanics during the first postoperative year, and to explore its safety.
METHODS: A prospective randomized contralateral controlled design was employed. Thin cap(110-120 μm)and thick cap(130-140 μm)SMILE procedures were performed on the two eyes of the same myopic patients undergoing surgery, respectively. Postoperative evaluations at 1 wk, 1, 3, 6 mo, and 1 y included CD, uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA), contrast sensitivity, wavefront aberrations, and corneal biomechanics. A linear mixed-effects model was used for statistical analysis.
RESULTS:A total of 60 patients(120 eyes, 60 eyes in the thin-cap group and 60 eyes in the thick-cap group)completed the surgery successfully and attended scheduled follow-up visits. The mean age was 26.3±3.8 y, including 34 males(57%)and 26 females(43%).The intended cap thickness was 115.24±3.10 μm in the thin-cap group and 135.28±3.45 μm in the thick-cap group. There were significant intergroup differences in lenticule thickness and ablation depth(P<0.001), whereas the residual stromal bed(RSB)thickness was comparable between groups(P=0.301). Central 0-6 mm CD significantly decreased over time(P<0.001), and the thin-cap group had overall higher densitometry values than the thick-cap group(P<0.001), with significant differences persisting from 1 wk to 1 y postoperatively(Bonferroni-corrected P<0.05). At 1 y, significant CD differences were most pronounced in the anterior and central layers(both P<0.05), with no significant differences in posterior layers. The thick-cap group showed a significant improvement in UDVA(P=0.002)and better contrast sensitivity(corrected P<0.05), while the thin-cap group had higher values of total root mean square of higher-order aberrations(HOA-RMS), spherical aberration, and coma(all P<0.05). No statistical differences were observed between groups in corneal biomechanical parameters(DA, CBI, SSI)(all P >0.05), and the incidence of safety events was also comparable between the two groups(P≥0.5).
CONCLUSION: Given an equivalent RSB thickness, thicker corneal caps can reduce anterior-layer CD, improve contrast sensitivity and higher-order aberration outcomes, without obvious increases in biomechanical risks or safety concerns.Therefore, it warrants consideration as a preferred intraoperative strategy for SMILE.

As one of the common systemic vasculitides in children, IgA vasculitis is closely associated with the interaction of "Wind pathogen" and "turbid stasis" in its pathogenesis. Based on the blood turbidity theory, this paper proposes "wind agitating blood turbidity and collateral damage" as the core pathogenesis. Regarding treatment, the sequential therapeutic principle of "stanch bleeding, activating blood circulation, and nourishing blood" is adopted, and combined with the dynamic application of wind-dispelling medicinals to "expel, search, and guard against wind", turbidity-removing method is applied throughout all stages. In the acute stage,it is recommended to clear heat and purify turbidity, stanch bleeding and secure the collaterals. In the prolonged stage, the method of dissipating stasis and clearing up turbidity should be used, as well as activating blood circulation and unblocking the collaterals. In the recovery stage, it is advised to nourish blood to flourish the collaterals, reinforce healthy qi and resolve turbidity. This therapeutic system integrates the elimination of pathogens and the reinforcement of healthy qi to clear and resolve blood turbidity, ultimately achieving holistic collateral repair through securing, unblocking, and nourishing the collaterals, which provides new insights into the treatment of this disease in traditional Chinese medicine.

Based on the theory of "cold qi generates turbidity" described in the Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》), together with the physiological characteristics of children, who are considered to have an inherent insufficiency of the lung, spleen, and kidney, and the clinical features of recurrent refractory nephrotic syndrome (RNS), this article proposes that the pathogenesis of RNS in children is characterized by yang deficiency with internal cold, turbidity arising from cold, latent turbidity transforming into toxin, activation by newly contracted pathogens, and turbid toxins damaging the collaterals. The core pathogenesis is identified as yang deficiency, turbidity coagulation, and collateral damage. Accordingly, the general treatment principle is warming yang and eliminating turbidity, with coordination of three methods including warming yang to strengthen the body's foundation, promoting yang to relieve constraint, and raising yang while replenishing qi. Zhenwu Decoction (真武汤) is employed as the basic prescription with modification according to syndrome differentiation, to achieve an effect eliminating turbidity and arresting leakage, restoring kidney function by unblocking the collaterals, and consolidating recovery to prevent relapse.

Objective To systematically evaluate the risk prediction model of anastomotic fistula after radical resection of esophageal cancer, and to provide objective basis for selecting a suitable model. Methods A comprehensive search was conducted on Chinese and English databases including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library for relevant studies on the risk prediction model of anastomotic fistula after radical resection of esophageal cancer from inception to April 30, 2023. Two researchers independently screened literatures and extracted data information. PROBAST tool was used to assess the risk of bias and applicability of included literatures. Meta-analysis was performed on the predictive value of common predictors in the model with RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 18 studies were included, including 11 Chinese literatures and 7 English literatures. The area under the curve (AUC) of the prediction models ranged from 0.68 to 0.954, and the AUC of 10 models was >0.8, indicating that the prediction performance was good, but the risk of bias in the included studies was high, mainly in the field of research design and data analysis. The results of the meta-analysis on common predictors showed that age, history of hypertension, history of diabetes, C-reactive protein, history of preoperative chemotherapy, hypoproteinemia, peripheral vascular disease, pulmonary infection, and calcification of gastric omental vascular branches are effective predictors for the occurrence of anastomotic leakage after radical surgery for esophageal cancer (P<0.05). Conclusion The study on the risk prediction model of anastomotic fistula after radical resection of esophageal cancer is still in the development stage. Future studies can refer to the common predictors summarized by this study, and select appropriate methods to develop and verify the anastomotic fistula prediction model in combination with clinical practice, so as to provide targeted preventive measures for patients with high-risk anastomotic fistula as soon as possible.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.
