Objective To investigate the influencing factors of pain during ultrasound-guided puncture sclerotherapy in the treatment of ovarian chocolate cyst(OEC).Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 209 OEC patients undergoing ultrasound-guided puncture sclerotherapy in our department from September 2021 to September 2023.Demographic data,medical history and surgical information were collected.According to surgical approach,they were divided into transabdominal surgery group(n=57)and transvaginal surgery group(n=152).Pain scores were assessed at 5 surgical time points:needle insertion,irrigation,displacement,sclerosis,and needle withdrawal.Pain scores were compared between the 2 groups at each surgical moment.According to the pain scores at the moments of needle insertion and replacement,the patients were divided into the no/mild pain group(pain score ≤ 3)and the moderate/severe pain group(pain score ≥4),and the related factors of the incidence of moderate/severe pain were analyzed.Results There was no statistical difference in intraoperative pain between different surgical approaches(transabdominal/transvaginal)in treating OEC under the guidance of ultrasound.At the moment of needle insertion,significantly higher incidence of moderate/severe pain was observed in the patients with a body mass index(BMI)＞23.9 kg/m2 than those with BMI ≤23.9 kg/m2,and those with a history of dysmenorrhea than those without(P＜0.05).At the time point of displacement,BMI and history of dysmenorrhea had no correlation with the incidence of moderate/severe pain.Age,obstetric history,mode of delivery,time of menarche,menstrual volume,history of pelvic surgery,history of combined adenomyosis,size of cysts,duration of surgery,and surgical approach had no notable impacts on intraoperative pain.Conclusion Different surgical approaches for ultrasound-guided puncture sclerotherapy of OEC have no effect on pain levels at various surgical moments.From the aspect of humanistic care,transabdominal puncture should be preferred.During needle insertion and displacement,particular attention should be given to the overweight patients and those with a history of dysmenorrhea,and appropriate pain intervention measures should be formulated.

ObjectiveTo establish a geographical origin identification model for Foeniculi Fructus from Haiyuan， providing a new technical reference for the protection of Haiyuan's geo-authentic medicinal materials and its designation as a national geographical indication agricultural product. MethodsSamples of Foeniculi Fructus were collected from eight producing areas， including Minqin （Gansu）， Bozhou （Anhui）， Qingdao （Shandong）， Dezhou （Shandong）， Urumqi （Xinjiang）， Nujiang （Yunnan）， Gutuo （Inner Mongolia）， and Haiyuan （Ningxia）. Gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry （GC-IMS） was used to detect the volatile organic compounds （VOCs） in samples from these geographic origins. VOCs were qualitatively analyzed through dual matching with the National Institute of Standards and Technology （NIST） mass spectral database and the IMS drift time database. Using the Reporter module and Gallery Plot visualization tools within the LAV analytical platform， VOC fingerprint profiles characterizing geographic origins were constructed. A non-targeted analytical strategy was adopted， and 97 VOCs detected via GC-IMS were subjected to principal component analysis （PCA） and partial least squares discriminant analysis （PLS-DA） based on their differential distribution patterns to construct an origin identification model for Foeniculi Fructus from Haiyuan region. Key discriminative markers were screened using variable importance in projection （VIP） values greater than 1. ResultsA total of 97 VOCs were identified， including alcohols， aldehydes， ketones， esters， organic acids， terpenoids， ethers， alkenes， and benzenes. The PLS-DA model， based on VOCs data obtained by GC-IMS， effectively distinguished Foeniculi Fructus in Haiyuan region from those of other origins. During cross-validation， the model achieved a prediction parameter （Q²） of 0.976 and a goodness-of-fit parameter （R²） of 0.936， with no overfitting observed in permutation testing. Twelve key flavor markers with VIP > 1 were identified as characteristic indicators of Haiyuan origin. ConclusionA stable and highly predictive origin identification model for Foeniculi Fructus from Haiyuan was successfully established using GC-IMS technology， PLS-DA， and VIP-based marker screening. This model provides a novel technical strategy for accurately distinguishing Foeniculi Fructus in Haiyuan region from other regional varieties and offers new technical support for its protection as a geo-authentic medicinal material and a nationally designated geographical indication agricultural product in China.

Objective: To explore the differences in the gut microbiota of primary school students with different levels of sugar sweetened beverage intake, so as to provide scientific evidence for better identification of health risks in children and the development of targeted health policies. Methods: In June 2022, a total of 192 healthy primary school students from Chengdu were selected using a stratified cluster random sampling method. The sugar sweetened beverage intake was assessed through a dietary frequency questionnaire. Based on the median daily sugar sweetened beverage intake, primary school students were categorized into a low intake group ( n =96) and a high intake group ( n =96). The gut microbiota in fresh fecal samples from the two groups of primary school students was analyzed using 16S rRNA high throughput sequencing, and the diversity and community structure differences in the gut microbiota were compared. Results: Children in the low intake group had a sugar sweetened beverage intake of (21.3±1.6) mL/d, while the high intake group had an intake of (269.6±37.3) mL/d. Diversity analysis results showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the low intake and the high intake group in terms of α diversity metrics: Observed_otus index [298.50 (259.75, 342.25), 305.50 (244.25, 367.75)], Goods_coverage index [1.00 (1.00, 1.00), 1.00 (1.00, 1.00)], Chao index [304.18 (260.75, 348.78), 305.88 (245.68, 370.88)], Shannon index [5.88 (5.29, 6.45), 5.71 (4.89, 6.28)] and Simpson index [0.95 (0.91, 0.97), 0.94 (0.88, 0.97)] ( Z =-0.64, -0.76, -0.54, -1.76, -1.67, P >0.05). Furthermore, no statistically significant difference was observed in β diversity between the two groups ( R 2=0.006, P >0.05). At the genus level, the abundance of Blautia [0.033 (0.018, 0.055)] and Fusicatenibacter [0.009 (0.005, 0.015)] were higher in the low intake group compared to the high intake group [0.024 (0.013, 0.041),0.006 (0.003, 0.011)]and differences were statistically significant ( Z =-2.52, -2.81, P <0.05). LEfSe analysis highlighted intergroup differences primarily in Blautia, Fusicatenibacter and Sarcina( LDA= 3.56,3.12,3.53, P <0.05). Conclusions There is no significant difference in the diversity and overall structure of the gut microbiota in primary school students with different levels of sugar sweetened beverage intake. However, there are species variations at the genus level. The information can serve as a scientific basis for identifying health risks in primary school students and formulating targeted health strategies.

Objective:To describe the dietary intake and influencing factors of energy intake in patients with gastric cancer at home.Methods:The research tools including Food Frequency Questionnaire,Digestive Cancer Patients Nutrition Knowledge,Attitude and Practice Questionnaire,and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score were used to collect information on home oral nutrition intake,nutritional knowledge,attitudes,and physical status of patients with gastric cancer.Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the relevant factors that affect the achievement of oral energy intake standards.Results:A total of 160 patients with gastric cancer were analyzed in this study.Overall,21.9%did not reach energy intake target.The results of Logistic regression showed the nutritional knowledge level of the patients(Waldχ2=18.42,P<0.001)and the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score(Waldχ2=11.16,P=0.011)were independent factors related to substandard energy intake in gastric cancer patients.Conclusion:The dietary energy intake of most gastric cancer patients reached the recommended target amount,and the nutritional knowledge and activity of the patients affect the energy intake,suggesting that medical staff can intervene in the patients whose energy intake does not meet the standard from the aspects of nutritional knowledge and activities.

Objective To explore the regulatory role of transient receptor potential channel 6(TRPC6)on podocyte autophagy under the influence of homocysteine(Hcy)in mouse kidney.Methods Mouse renal podocytes were divided into control group and Hcy groups(stimulated by Hcy at 40,60,80 and 100 μmol/L for 48 h).The level of TRPC6 mRNA was assessed using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)to identify the optimal Hcy concentration for subsequent experiments.Western blotting was employed to evaluate the expression levels of autophagy-related proteins LC3 Ⅱ and p62,as well as the expression levels of podocyte structural proteins Nephrin and Podocin.The expression levels of TRPC6 mRNA and protein in both groups were determined using qRT-PCR,Western blotting and immunofluorescence.Transfections of cells with TRPC6 overexpression or interference were set as follows:(1)control group(untreated),negative control group of TRPC6 overexpression,and TRPC6 overexpression group;(2)control group(untreated),negative control group of TRPC6 interference,and TRPC6 interference group(si-1,si-2,si-3).The expression level of TRPC6 was detected using qRT-PCR.The cells after overexpressing or interfering of TRPC6 were further set as follows:(1)control group(untreated),Hcy group(80 μmol/L Hcy added),TRPC6 overexpression control+Hcy group,TRPC6 overexpression+Hcy group;(2)control group(untreated),Hcy group,TRPC6 interference control+Hcy group,and TRPC6 interference+Hcy group.The expression levels of p62,LC3 Ⅱ,and TRPC6 proteins were detected using Western blotting.Results qRT-PCR detection results showed that compared with control group,the expression level of TRPC6 mRNA in Hcy group increased with the increase of Hcy concentration,with the highest expression level observed at 80 μmol/L Hcy.Therefore,80 μmol/L Hcy was selected as the optimal concentration for intervention.At this time,the expression level of autophagy-related protein LC3 Ⅱ increased,and the expression level of p62 decreased(P<0.05).Western blotting results showed that compared with control group,the expression levels of podocyte-related proteins Nephrin and Podocin in Hcy group were significantly decreased(P<0.05).qRT-PCR results showed that compared with control group,the expression level of TRPC6 mRNA in Hcy group was significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with negative control group for TRPC6 overexpression,both mRNA and protein expression levels of TRPC6 in TRPC6 overexpression group were significantly higher(P<0.05).Compared with negative control group for TRPC6 interference,both mRNA and protein expression levels of TRPC6 in TRPC6 interference group were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Western blotting results showed that compared with negative control group for TRPC6 overexpression,the expression level of autophagy-related protein LC3 Ⅱ in TRPC6 overexpression+Hcy group was significantly increased,and the expression level of p62 was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with TRPC6 negative control+Hcy group for TRPC6 interference+Hcy,the expression level of autophagy-related protein LC3 Ⅱ in TRPC6 interference+Hcy group was significantly decreased,and the expression level of p62 was significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Hcy can induce autophagy of renal podocytes.Inhibiting the expression of TRPC6 can significantly reduce the autophagy damage to podocytes.
