Objective:To explore the technical key points and vital improvements of single-port robotic prepectoral breast reconstruction.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the case data of 10 patients with breast cancer who underwent single-port robotic prepectoral breast reconstruction performed in the Department of Breast Surgery, Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University from January to March 2025. Technical key points and vital improvements were summarized.Results:All 10 patients underwent surgery using the da Vinci Xi system. During the postoperative follow-up period of (3±1) months, no cases of flap or nipple-areola complex necrosis occurred, with no instances of implant loss. The patients experienced neither severe perioperative nor late postoperative complications, and all were satisfied with the aesthetic outcomes. In single-port robotic prepectoral breast reconstruction, several technical modifications were implemented, including posterior space liposuction, electrocautery-assisted flap dissection, and single-port Trocar connection to robotic arms. These refinements enabled clear intraoperative visualization of the circummammary ligaments, allowing for breast reconstruction to be completed within the fascial anatomical planes.Conclusion:The single-port robotic prepectoral breast reconstruction, achieved through technical refinements including posterior space liposuction, electrocautery-assisted flap dissection, and single-port Trocar connection to robotic arms, demonstrates excellent procedural feasibility and is expected to enable precise glandular resection while achieving favorable breast contour outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical features and genetic etiology in a child with Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) complicated by growth hormone deficiency. METHODS: A child presented at Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital in October 2014 for "short stature for over 4 years" was selected as the study subject. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from the child and his parents for genomic DNA extraction and whole-exome sequencing (WES). The pathogenicity of the candidate variants was assessed by following the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the hospital (Ethics No.: 2025-003). RESULTS: The patient, a 4-year-and-2-month-old male, presented with short stature and recurrent epistaxis since early childhood. Initial diagnosis of GHD was made via growth hormone stimulation testing. During follow-up, telangiectatic macules and polycythemia gradually appeared. WES revealed that he has harbored a heterozygous c.1807G>A (p.Gly603Arg) variant of the ENG gene, which was absent in both parents and classified as likely pathogenic based on ACMG guidelines. Sanger sequencing confirmed the candidate variant to be de novo. CONCLUSION Patients with HHT combined with GHD may exhibit clinical features such as short stature, telangiectasia, and arteriovenous malformations. The heterozygous c.1807G>A (p.Gly603Arg) variant of the ENG gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of the disease in the proband. Above finding has expanded the mutational spectrum of the ENG gene.

Objective To explore the mechanism of 3-methyladenine(3-MA)for alleviating early diabetic renal injury.Methods Mouse models of streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus were randomized into model group and 3-MA treatment group for daily treatments with normal saline and 10 mg/kg 3-MA by gavage for 6 weeks,respectively.Body weight and fasting blood glucose of the mice were recorded every week.After the treatments,the kidneys of the mice were collected for measurement kidney/body weight ratio,examination of glomerular size with PAS staining,and detection of α-SMA and PCNA expressions using Western blotting and immunohistochemistry.SV40 MES 13 cells cultured in normal glucose(5.6 mmol/L)and high glucose(30 mmol/L)were treated with 24.4 mmol/L mannitol and 5 mmol/L 3-MA for 24 h,respectively,and the changes in cell viability and PCNA expression were examined using CCK8 assay and Western blotting.Bioinformatics analysis of the intersecting gene targets of diabetic kidney disease(DKD)and 3-MA was performed,and the results were verified by Western blotting both in vivo and in vitro.Results In the diabetic mice,treatment with 3-MA produced a short-term hypoglycemic effect,reduced the kidney/body weight ratio and glomerular hypertrophy,and decreased the expressions of α-SMA and PCNA in the renal cortex.In the in vitro study,3-MA significantly lowered the viability and reduced PCNA expression in SV40 MES 13 cells exposed to high glucose.The results of bioinformatic analysis identified AKT1 as the key gene in the therapeutic mechanism of 3-MA for DKD.Western blotting confirmed that 3-MA inhibited the phosphorylation of AKT and S6 in both the renal cortex of diabetic mice and high glucose-treated SV40 MES 13 cells.Conclusion 3-MA suppresses mesangial cell proliferation and alleviates early diabetic renal injury in mice possibly by inhibiting AKT signaling.

Ribosomopathies encompass a spectrum of disorders arising from impaired ribosome biogenesis and reduced functionality.Mutation or dysexpression of the genes that disturb any finely regulated steps of ribosome biogenesis can result in different types of ribosomopathies in clinic,collectively known as ribosomopathy genes.Emerging data suggest that ribosomopathy patients exhibit a significantly heightened susceptibility to cancer.Abnormal ribosome biogenesis and dysregulation of some ribo-somopathy genes have also been found to be intimately associated with cancer development.The cor-relation between ribosome biogenesis or ribosomopathy and the development of malignancies has been well established.This work aims to review the recent advances in the research of ribosomopathy genes among human cancers and meanwhile,to excavate the potential role of these genes,which have not or rarely been reported in cancer,in the disease development across cancers.We plan to establish a theoretical framework between the ribosomopathy gene and cancer development,to further facilitate the potential of these genes as diagnostic biomarker as well as pharmaceutical targets for cancer treatment.

Objective To explore the optimal ratio of Baitong decoction based on efficacy,clarify its spectrum-effect relationship,and identify its potential quality markers.Methods An ulcerative colitis(UC)model in mice was established using dextran sulfate sodium.The efficacy of Baitong decoction with varying drug ratios was assessed by evaluating the apparent score,pathological score and inflammatory factor changes of UC in each group of experimental animals.The fingerprints of Baitong decoction with different ratios were established by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC),and the relationship between the content of each substance and its efficacy was analyzed by partial least squares regression to determine the potential quality markers of Baitong decoction.Results Baitong decoction was most effective in relieving ulcerative colitis when the mass ratio of Fuzi,Ganjiang and Congbai was 1∶2∶2.The fingerprinting identified 14 common peaks across 7 ratios,with 9 peaks were found to be associated with the remission of ulcerative colitis by partial least squares regression analysis.Conclusion The optimal ratio of Fuzi,Ganjiang and Congbai for treating UC is 1∶2∶2.The spectrum-effect relationship analysis suggested that the quality markers of Baitong decoction may be the substances represented by peak 2(benzoylaconine),3,5,6,8(mesaconine),9(aconitine),10(hypaconitine),13(10-gingerol)and 14.

Objective To construct an intervention programme for breastfeeding among mothers of infants with congenital heart disease and to verify its effect.Methods Taking the capability-opportunity-motivation-behaviour model as the theoretical basis,the first draft of the intervention programme was formed through literature search and semi-structured interviews,and 8 experts in the relevant fields were selected to conduct expert validation and determine the content of the program.By the consecutive sampling method,infants and their mothers who attended the cardiothoracic disease clinic of a tertiary-level children's specialist hospital in Shanghai from 4 May to 24 June 2023,with a day-old age of≤14 d and a confirmed diagnosis of CHD,were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into an experimental group and a control group,with 16 cases in each group,by the method of randomized grouping by district.The experimental group received breastfeeding intervention for mothers of infants with CHD on the basis of routine care;the control group received routine care and basic disease education and breastfeeding counselling.At 1 and 3 months of the infants with CHD,the 2 groups were compared in terms of exclusive breastfeeding rate,daily human milk as a percentage of total feeds,weight for age Z-score and height for age Z-score.Results A total of 1 round of expert validation was conducted,with a valid questionnaire recovery rate of 100％and an expert authority coefficient of 0.94.The breastfeeding intervention programme for mothers of infants with CHD is a comprehensive approach that encompasses 3 key dimensions,including capability,opportunity,and motivation.The programme is designed to enhance mothers'ability to recognize feeding signals,master breastfeeding techniques,and maintain successful breastfeeding practices.It also addresses common breastfeeding challenges and provides effective solutions.Additionally,it includes strategies for breastmilk management and fosters family support for breastfeeding.The programme offers medical information support on breastfeeding and aims to elevate mothers'understanding of its benefits.It involves systematic monitoring and recording of breastfeeding volumes,as well as thorough assessments and guidance on infant growth and development,including but not limited to the 10 specific entries related to the infant's progress.The results of the generalized estimating equations and repeated measures analysis of variance revealed statistically significant between-group differences(P＜0.05)in the rates of exclusive breastfeeding,the proportion of daily human milk as a percentage of total feeds,and the weight-for-age(WAZ)and height-for-age(HAZ)z-scores of infants across the 2 groups at various time points.The results of simple effect analysis showed that the differences in exclusive breastfeeding rate,the proportion of daily human milk as a percentage of total feeds,WAZ and HAZ between the 2 groups before intervention were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).At the age of 3 months of the infants after the intervention,the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.003).The proportion of daily human milk as a percentage of total feeds for infants in the intervention group at 1 and 3 months of age was higher than that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).At 3 months of age,WAZ of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.037);HAZ of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at 1 and 3 months of age after intervention,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The breastfeeding intervention programme for mothers of infants with CHD,constructed on the basis of the COM-B model in this study,was comprehensive,feasible and acceptable.Implementation of the programme has potential positive effects on increasing exclusive breastfeeding rates and the daily human milk as a percentage of total feeds,and may also have a positive impact on WAZ and HAZ of infants.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ranks the first among malignant tumors in China and even in the whole world. In recent years, the developement of genetic testing technology, particularly tumor gene sequencing, has provided a solid basis for the clinical molecular diagnosis of NSCLC, which has greatly increased the chances of patients benefiting from targeted therapy or immunotherapy, and ultimately extending their survival. Standardizing the use of tumor gene sequencing is crucial for the precision medicine in NSCLC. This paper discusses the normalization of tumor gene sequencing technology in the clinical molecular diagnostic pathway of NSCLC, which may promote the standardized use of tumor gene sequencing technology in targeted therapy or immunotherapy drug selection, toxicity and side effect prediction, efficacy monitoring, recurrence and prognosis evaluation of NSCLC patients. This article discusses the standardization of the application of tumor gene sequencing technology in the clinical molecular diagnosis pathway of NSCLC. Additionally, it offers a foundation for the uniform use of tumor gene sequencing technology in other solid tumors.

Objective To explore the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)on the symptom treatment of adolescent depressed patients and the regulatory effect of serum inflammatory factors and cranial nerve factors.Methods A total of 110 adolescent patients with depression were analyzed from May 1,2022 to May 30,2023,including 55 in the observation group and 55 in the control group.emotional intelligence scale(EIS),the Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)and World Health Organization quality of life bref(WHOQOL BREF)were used to evaluate the emotional intelligence,depression and quality of life before treatment and 1.5 and 3.0 months after treatment.Serum 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP),brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6 and transforming growth factor(TGF)-β1 were detected,and the protein expression levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TGF-β1 in peripheral blood cells were detected by Western blot.Results After 1.5 and 3.0 months of intervention,the EIS score and WHOQOL-BREF scores in were increased,and the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.01),and the HAMD score was lower than that of the control group(P＜0.01).After treatment,the levels of BDNF,5-HT and GFAP in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.01).The levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were lower in the observation group,and the levels of TGF-β1 were higher(P＜0.01).Conclusion rTMS stimulation can further down-regulate the expression of pro-inflammatory factors(IL-1β,IL-6)and anti-inflammatory factors(TGF-β1)and cranial nerve factors(BDNF,GFAP,5-HT)in patients on the basis of basic drug treatment,so the use of rTMS stimulation in the treatment of adolescent depression has certain clinical application value.
