ObjectiveRecent studies have highlighted the critical role of NUDT19 in the initiation, progression, and prognosis of specific cancer types. However, its involvement in pan-cancer analysis has not been fully characterized. This study aims to systematically explore the expression patterns, clinical significance, and immune-related functions of NUDT19 in various cancer types through multi-omics analysis, further revealing its potential role in cancer, particularly its functional and therapeutic target value in leukemia. MethodsTo achieve this goal, various bioinformatics approaches were employed to evaluate the expression patterns, clinical significance, and immune-related functions of NUDT19 in tumors and normal tissues. Additionally, we analyzed the mutation characteristics of NUDT19 and its relationship with epigenetic modifications. Using the single-cell analysis tool SingleCellBase, we explored the distribution of NUDT19 across different cell subpopulations in tumors. To validate these findings, qRT-PCR was used to measure NUDT19 expression levels in specific tumor cell lines, and we established acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines (HL-60 and THP-1) to conduct NUDT19 knockdown and overexpression experiments, assessing its effects on leukemia cell proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion. ResultsPan-cancer analysis revealed the dysregulated expression of NUDT19 across multiple cancer types, which was closely associated with poor prognosis, clinical staging, and diagnostic markers. Furthermore, NUDT19 was significantly correlated with tumor biomarkers, immune-related genes, and immune cell infiltration in different cancers. Mutation analysis showed that multiple mutations in NUDT19 were significantly associated with epigenetic changes. Single-cell analysis revealed the heterogeneity of NUDT19 expression in cancer cells, suggesting its potentially diverse functional roles in different cell subpopulations. qRT-PCR experiments confirmed the significant upregulation of NUDT19 in various tumor cell lines. In AML cell lines, NUDT19 knockdown led to reduced cell proliferation and invasion, with increased apoptosis, while NUDT19 overexpression significantly enhanced cell proliferation and invasion while reducing apoptosis. ConclusionThis study demonstrates the diverse roles of NUDT19 in various cancer types, with a particularly prominent functional role in leukemia. NUDT19 is not only associated with tumor initiation and progression but may also influence cancer progression through the regulation of immune microenvironment and epigenetic mechanisms. Our research highlights the potential of NUDT19 as a therapeutic target, particularly for targeted therapies in malignancies such as leukemia, with significant clinical application prospects.

Objective To explore the risk factors for bile leakage after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration(LCBDE)with primary closure.Methods The clinical data of 560 patients with choledocholithiasis who underwent LCBDE with primary closure in Tianjin Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from September 2021 to September 2023 were retrospectively analyzed,and the patients were divided into the bile leak group and the non-bile leak group according to the occurrence of postoperative bile leakage.The risk factors affecting the occurrence of postoperative bile leakage were analyzed by multivariate analysis.Results A total of 64 cases(11.4% )experienced varying degrees of bile leakage,including 55 cases of grade A bile leakage,7 cases of grade B,and 2 cases of grade C.The thin common bile duct(OR=0.07,P<0.001),history of hypertension(OR=4.56,P<0.001),and high BMI(OR=1.17,P=0.002)were the risk factors for postoperative bile leakage in patients with choledocholithiasis.Conclusion Patients with thin common bile duct,hypertension and obesity are more likely to occur postoperative bile leakage.Patients with choledocholithiasis who have the above high-risk factors should be cautious in choosing LCBDE with primary closure.

This study was aimed at investigating the prevalence and characteristics of Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection in snails for sale in select regions of Yunnan Province between April and September in 2019-2023.A total of 1 584 snails were collected from 13 regions,and third stage larvae with A.cantonensis infection were identified with the digestion method.The A.cantonensis infection rate in snails was 3.66％.The infection rate of Pomacea canaliculata was highest(6.41％),that of Cipangopaludina cathayensis was 2.74％,and that of Bellamya aeruginosa was 2.56％.The A.cantonensis infection rate in each snail species decreased each year,except in P.canaliculata.The A.cantonensis infection rate was highest in July(7.87％).Snails infected with A.cantonensis were found in regions except Chuxiong.The highest infection rate in these 12 re-gions occurred in Honghe(9.52％).In conclusion,A.cantonensis infection was identified in snails for sale in select areas of Yunnan province,thus posing hidden food safety risks.Strengthened supervision and management of snail food products,in-creased education,environmental improvement,and deratization deratize are necessary.Moreover,molecular biological detec-tion provides a sensitive tool for the prevention and control of A.cantonensis.

Objective:To analyze the factors affecting overall survival(OS)of adult patients with core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia(CBF-AML)and establish a prediction model.Methods:A total of 216 newly diagnosed patients with CBF-AML in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2015 to July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The 216 CBF-AML patients were divided into the training and the validation cohort at 7:3 ratio.The Cox regression model was used to analyze the clinical factors affecting OS.Stepwise regression was used to establish the optimal model and the nomogram.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,calibration curve and decision curve analysis(DCA)were used to evaluate the model performance.Results:Age(≥ 55 years old),peripheral blood blast(≥80％),fusion gene(AML1-ETO),KIT mutations were identified as independent adverse factors for OS.The area under the ROC curve at 3-year was 0.772 and 0.722 in the training cohort and validation cohort,respectively.The predicted value of the calibration curve is in good agreement with the measured value.DCA shows that this model performs better than a single factor.Conclusion:This prediction model is simple and feasible,and can effectively predict the OS of CBF-AML,and provide a basis for treatment decision.

Objective:This study aimed to assess left atrial function in adults across various age groups using 4-dimensional automated left atrial quantification(4D Auto LAQ)technology.The study also aimed to compare the differences in two-dimensional(2D)and four-dimensional(4D)strains of the left atrium among different age groups, with the goal of enhancing the clinical utility of 4D Auto LAQ.Methods:A total of 409 healthy volunteers were recruited for the research.Two-dimensional and four-dimensional images were obtained using a GE Vivid E95 ultrasound system with a 4Vc four-dimensional probe.The study examined variations in 2D and 4D ultrasound parameters across various age groups.Furthermore, the relationship between left atrial reservoir strain(LASr), Left atrial conduit strain(LAScd), left atrial contraction strain(LASct), and age was explored.Results:The study involved 409 volunteers, with 217 males and 192 females, who were categorized into three age groups: young(18-45 years, n=56), middle-aged(46-65 years, n=202), and elderly(>65 years, n=151).Conventional ultrasound measurements indicated changes in left atrial anterior-posterior diameter with age progression: (31.70±3.65)mm for the young group, (34.02±3.91)mm for the middle-aged group, and(35.2±4.37)mm for the elderly group( P<0.01).The 2D and 4D left atrial parameters across the age groups were as follows: LASr(2D)(%): 37.48±7.51, 30.95±8.23, 26.9±7.56( P<0.01); LA VImax(ml/m 2): 23.54±5.79, 26.33±7.6, 28.99±8.15( P<0.01); LASr(%): 31.2±17.07, 22.5±8.59, 19.49±7.47( P<0.01).Both 2D and 4D left atrial parameters exhibited significant associations with age.Specifically, the correlations between LASr(2D)(%), LAScd(2D)(%), LASr(%), LAScd(%), and age were -0.429, 0.580, -0.354, 0.298, respectively( P<0.01). Conclusions:The 4D Auto LAQ technology is efficient in assessing left atrial function across various age groups, with age playing a significant role in influencing left atrial parameters.When compared to other ultrasound parameters, both 2D and 4D left atrial strain parameters have the ability to detect differences at an early stage, making them suitable for the early screening, evaluation, and monitoring of age-related left atrial dysfunction, especially in the elderly population.

Objective:To observe any effect of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) combined with electro-acupuncture on detrusor overactivity after a spinal cord injury.Methods:Forty spinal cord injury survivors with neurogenic detrusor overactivity were randomly assigned to a control group or an observation group, each of 20. Both groups received routine bladder training and electro-acupuncture modulating 3 sacral spinal nerves. The observation group also received 20 minutes of bilateral PTNS five times a week for 8 weeks. The frequency was 10Hz with a pulse width of 200μs. Before and after the treatment, both groups′ urination frequency, incontinence and average daily urine volume were assessed using a urodynamics analyzer, bladder diaries and an incontinence quality of life questionnaire (I-QOL).Results:After treatment, the average involuntary detrusor contraction volume (IDCV), maximum detrusor pressure at filling time (P det·max), bladder compliance (BC), residual volume and the TL value of the electromyogram of the urethral sphincter (LgTLR) had all improved significantly in both groups. The 1st IDCV, BC and LgTLR of the observation group were then significantly better than in the control group, on average, with the average P det·max and residual volume significantly lower than in the control group. The average daily single urine output and I-QOL score of both groups had increased significantly, while the average daily urination frequency and frequency of urinary incontinence had decreased significantly. Both were again significantly better in the observation group. Conclusion:Combining percutaneous electrical stimulation of the tibial nerves with electro-acupuncture can effectively inhibit detrusor overactivity after a spinal cord injury, reducing urinary incontinence.

Objective:To evaluate the application of layered harvesting technique for thin anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF) based on preoperative perforator mapping by colour Doppler ultrasound (CDU) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA).Methods:From April 2023 to November 2023, 13 patients (14 flaps) with forearm and hand wounds. were treated in the Department of Hand Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, In this study, they were 8 males and 5 females; aged from 19 to 58 years old, with a mean of 37 years old. Body Mass Index (BMI) was 17.30 - 31.87 kg/m 2 with an average of 23.64 kg/m 2. The flap area was 9 cm×6 cm-20 cm×13 cm; the flap thickness was 4-6 mm with an average of 5.2 mm. Before surgery, CDU was applied to determine the entrance of the perforator vessel and made skin marking. DSA technology was further used to relocate the position of the perforator vessel and the branches of the superficial fascia layer at the flap tangential position. Based on the precise perforator positioning, the thin ALTF was harvested between the deep and superficial layers of the superficial fascia. Regular outpatient follow-ups were conducted after surgery. Results:The 14 flaps had 1 to 2 perforators and 2 to 4 superficial fascia branches, and the preoperative positioning coincided with the intraoperative perforator entrance, and the distance was less than 1 cm. All patients were included in the follow-up from 1 to 7 months with a mean of 3.2 months. Only 1 patient had the complication delayed healing at the donor site. All flaps survived successfully and had a good appearance without secondary trimming.Conclusion:Preoperative CDU and DSA accurately locate the entrance of the perforator and the distribution of superficial fascial branches, and the layered harvesting technique for thin ALTF, effectively reduces the difficulty at harvesting of the thin flap and reduces damage to the donor site.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of free flap transfer with anastomosis of anterior interosseous artery and accompanying veins as the recipient vessels in reconstruction of forearm defects.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 5 patients who received free flaps transfers with anastomoses of anterior interosseous artery and accompanying veins in reconstruction of forearm defects with exposed bone and tendon in the Department of Orthopaedics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University between July 2022 and November 2023. All patients were males, aged 31 to 54 years old with an average age of 41.8 years old. Two patients had defects of dorsal ulnar forearm, 2 of distal forearm and 1 of radial palmar forearm. The defected areas after debridement sized 11.0 cm×4.5 cm-20.0 cm×6.0 cm. Free anterolateral thigh perforator flaps (ALTPF), sized 13.0 cm×6.0 cm-22.0 cm×7.0 cm, were used in 4 patients to reconstruct the forearm defects. A free superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap was used in 1 patient with the flap sized at 12.0 cm×5.5 cm. All donor sites were directly sutured. Scheduled postoperative follow up was carried out to evaluate the blood supply to the flaps, texture, appearance, fracture healing and the function of the affected limb, as well as the flap sensation according to the criteria for sensory function of British Medical Research Council (BMRC).Results:All 5 patients had received 4 to 16 (mean 8.8) months of follow-up. All flaps survived completely without necrosis or infection. All flaps were good in colour and texture. The blood supply to hands was good, without a symptoms of coldness and fear of cold of hand. At the final follow-up review, sensation of flaps was assessed according to the criteria for sensory function of BMRC and the sensation of the flaps had recovered to S 2~S 3+. The appearance of flaps was good. Conclusion:Free flap with the anterior interosseous artery and accompanying veins as the recipient vessels in the treatment of forearm defects can achieve satisfactory clinical effect, however, further clinical studies are required.
