[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。

Objective To observe the effects of electroacupuncture at the Hegu(LI4)acupoint on refractive parame-ters and the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-1 β(IL-1β)in the retinal tissue of mice with form-deprivation myopia(FDM).Methods Forty-eight SPF-grade,3-week-old healthy male C57BL/6J mice were ran-domly divided into four groups:normal control group,FDM group,sham acupuncture group,and Hegu group.Experimen-tal myopia was induced in the right eyes of mice in the latter three groups by wearing translucent diffuser goggles.Mice in the Hegu group received electroacupuncture stimulation at the Hegu(LI4)acupoint,while those in the sham acupuncture group received intervention with a non-penetrating blunt needle at the same location.Body weight,refractive error,and axial length were recorded for all mice before modeling and at 2 and 4 weeks after modeling.At 4 weeks post-modeling,mice were euthanized.Real-time quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β,respectively,in the right retinal tissues.Retinal cell apoptosis was assessed by TUNEL staining.Results At 2 weeks post-modeling,compared with the normal control group,the refractive error of the right eyes was significantly decreased and the axial length was significantly increased in the FDM,sham acupuncture,and Hegu groups(all P<0.01).At 4 weeks post-modeling,compared with the normal control group,the refractive error was significantly decreased and the axial length was significantly increased in the FDM and sham acupuncture groups(all P<0.001).Compared with both the FDM and sham acupuncture groups,the Hegu group showed a significant increase in re-fractive error and a significant decrease in axial length(all P<0.001).At 4 weeks post-modeling,RT-qPCR and Western blot results showed that the mRNA and protein expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1 β in the retina were significantly higher in the FDM and sham acupuncture groups compared to the normal control group(all P<0.05).In contrast,the protein ex-pression level of TNF-α and the relative mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-1β in the Hegu group were significantly lower than those in the FDM group(all P<0.05).TUNEL staining results showed that the retinal cell apoptosis rate was significantly higher in the FDM and sham acupuncture groups compared to the normal control group(all P<0.001).Com-pared with the FDM and sham acupuncture groups,the retinal cell apoptosis rate was significantly lower in the Hegu group(all P<0.001).Conclusion Electroacupuncture at the Hegu(LI4)acupoint can significantly inhibit the progression of myopia in mice.The mechanism may be related to the downregulation of TNF-α and IL-1β expression in the retinal tissue,thereby inhibiting retinal cell apoptosis.

Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of Gongxuening Capsules in reducing post-abortion bleeding following artificial abortion.Methods:A multicenter, randomized, double-blind study was conducted. From May 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023, 484 women who underwent vacuum aspiration abortion for early intrauterine pregnancy were enrolled in 11 centers and randomly assigned to control group and the study group at a 1∶1 ratio using a center-block randomization method. Control group were administered a placebo of Gongxuening Capsules for 9 d, while the study group received the actual Gongxuening Capsules for the same duration. The outcomes measured included vaginal bleeding volume, duration of vaginal bleeding, endometrial thickness, time to menstrual recovery, and complications.Results:1) A total of 484 subjects were enrolled, and 472 completed the study. Totally 450 subjects were included in the efficacy analysis set, with 224 in control group and 226 in the study group; 468 subjects were included in the safety analysis set, with 236 in control group and 232 in the study group. The baseline characteristics of the two groups were comparable (all P>0.05). 2) The vaginal bleeding volume was lower in the study group [(13.30±12.14) mL] than in control group [(19.00±17.67) mL, P<0.001]. The proportion of subjects in the study group with bleeding days less than 4 d [29.65% (67/226)] was higher than that in control group [19.20% (43/224), P=0.010]. 3) No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of time to menstrual recovery and endometrial thickness (all P>0.05). 4) In the study group, 3 subjects experienced non-therapeutic-related complications, while 11 subjects in control group. The incidence of complications was lower in the study group [1.29% (3/232)] than in control group [4.66% (11/236), P=0.033]. Conclusion:The administration of Gongxuening Capsules to women following artificial abortion significantly reduced vaginal bleeding volume and was associated with good safety, with the treatment being well-tolerated by the subjects.

Objective:To design a novel model for experiments on in vitro irradiation with radioactive seeds using a treatment planning system (TPS) and 3D printing technology and to preliminarily validate the design scientific rigor of the model via experiments on isodose brachytherapy (BT) and external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) on glioma cells in mice. Methods:The TPS was employed to design the model′s shape and calculate the number and positions of radioactive seeds, and 3D printing technology was utilized to fabricate the experimental model. The GL261 cell line was selected for in vitro irradiation experiments, with the mice divided into the control, EBRT, and BT groups. Mice in the EBRT and BT groups were treated with EBRT and BT, respectively, at doses of 2, 4, and 6 Gy. Then, changes in their cell viability, proliferation, and the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were assessed. Results:The model for in vitro irradiation with radioactive seeds was successfully designed and fabricated. The single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) verified a uniform radioactive distribution within the model, with no significant cold spots. The BT and EBRT groups displayed decreased cell viability with an increase in the radiation dose. Compared to the EBRT group, the BT group exhibited significantly reduced cell viability (51.33% vs. 22.00%, t = 10.94, P < 0.05) and clone counts (172.67 ± 13.11 vs. 53.67 ± 10.22, t = 8.73, P < 0.05), but a significantly increased level of ROS (102.52 ± 6.87 vs. 144.81 ± 6.01, t = -5.26, P < 0.05) at a dose of 6 Gy. Conclusions:An effective model of in vitro irradiation with radioactive seeds is designed based on TPS and 3D printing technology. This provides an experimental model tool and target for research on the BT and EBRT mechanisms.
