Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of one-hole split endoscope (OSE) minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of single-segment thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum (TOLF).Methods:This retrospective non-randomized controlled study included 41 patients with single-segment TOLF who underwent surgery at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University between July 2019 and July 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: the OSE group (19 cases) treated with one-hole split endoscope minimally invasive surgery and the open group (22 cases) treated with traditional laminectomy and pedicle screw fixation. There were no significant differences between the two groups on gender, age, disease duration, affected segment, presence or absence of dural ossification, and residual cross-sectional vertebral canal area on CT ( P>0.05). Additionally, perioperative surgical time, estimated blood loss (EBL), incision length, hospital stay duration, hospitalization costs and follow-up duration were compared. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were compared preoperatively and at the last follow-up. Complications were also recorded. Results:All patients successfully completed the surgery with no significant differences at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). Compared with the open group, the OSE group had a significantly shorter operative time (133.1±16.8 vs. 160.5±22.6 min), lower EBL (91.2±15.0 vs. 192.5±43.8 ml), shorter incision length (2.6±0.5 vs. 7.9±1.9 cm), reduced hospital stay (3.9±0.8 vs. 5.6±0.8 days), and lower hospitalization costs (34,874.9±4,568.6 vs. 53,162.3±9,815.6 yuan) (all P<0.05). AAt the final follow-up, JOA scores (8.5±0.8 vs. 8.6±1.2) and ODI values (16.7%±2.1% vs. 17.7%±4.4%) showed no significant differences between the OSE and open groups ( P>0.05). During the perioperative period and follow-up, complications occurred in 2 patients in the OSE group (1 cerebrospinal fluid leak, 1 poor wound healing) and in 8 patients in the open group (5 cerebrospinal fluid leaks, 1 neurological deterioration, 2 poor wound healing). Conclusion:OSE minimally invasive surgery is an effective treatment for single-segment thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum. Compared with open surgery, it provides advantages such as minimal invasiveness and fewer complications.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of hepatitis B virus(HBV)inhibiting M1 macrophages to promote immune escape,and to provide targets and strategies for antiviral therapy.Methods:The human monocyte cell line THP-1 was induced into M1 macrophages with PMA+LPS+IFN-γ.Cell morphological changes and the expressions of CD68,CD86,HLA-DR and functional molecules IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α in M1 macrophages were detected by flow cytometry and RT-qPCR to identify M1 macrophages.HBV stable replication cell line HepG2.2.15 were co-cultured with M1 macrophages,and the expression of HBV-DNA was detected by qP-CR.The expression of CD68,CD86 and HLA-DR were detected by flow cytometry.The expressions of functional molecules TLR4,NLRP3,Caspase-1,pro-caspase-1,caspase-1 p20,IL-1β and IL-18 in M1 macrophages were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry,and the expression of apoptosis related protein cleaved-caspase-3 was determined by Western blot.Results:THP-1 was successfully induced to differentiate into M1 macrophages.M1 macrophages inhibited HBV repli-cation(P<0.05).HBV inhibited the expressions of CD68,CD86 and HLA-DR in M1 macrophages(P<0.01).HBV inhibited the ex-pressions of TLR4,NLRP3,Caspase-1,caspase-1 p20,IL-1β and IL-18 in M1 macrophages(P<0.01).HBV induced M1 macro-phage apoptosis(P<0.05).Conclusion:HBV inhibits M1 macrophages and their functional molecules TLR4,NLRP3 and down-stream factors,reduces the synthesis and secretion of inflammatory factors,induces apoptosis,and then promotes immune escape,re-sulting in the persistence and replication of HBV in the body.

BACKGROUND: LY01005 (Goserelin acetate sustained-release microsphere injection) is a modified gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist injected monthly. This phase III trial study aimed to evaluated the efficacy and safety of LY01005 in Chinese patients with prostate cancer. METHODS: We conducted a randomized controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial across 49 sites in China. This study included 290 patients with prostate cancer who received either LY01005 or goserelin implants every 28 days for three injections. The primary efficacy endpoints were the percentage of patients with testosterone suppression ≤50 ng/dL at day 29 and the cumulative probability of testosterone ≤50 ng/dL from day 29 to 85. Non-inferiority was prespecified at a margin of -10%. Secondary endpoints included significant castration (≤20 ng/dL), testosterone surge within 72 h following repeated dosing, and changes in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prostate specific antigen levels. RESULTS: On day 29, in the LY01005 and goserelin implant groups, testosterone concentrations fell below medical-castration levels in 99.3% (142/143) and 100% (140/140) of patients, respectively, with a difference of -0.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], -3.9% to 2.0%) between the two groups. The cumulative probabilities of maintaining castration from days 29 to 85 were 99.3% and 97.8%, respectively, with a between-group difference of 1.5% (95% CI, -1.3% to 4.4%). Both results met the criterion for non-inferiority. Secondary endpoints were similar between groups. Both treatments were well-tolerated. LY01005 was associated with fewer injection-site reactions than the goserelin implant (0% vs . 1.4% [2/145]). CONCLUSION: LY01005 is as effective as goserelin implants in reducing testosterone to castration levels, with a similar safety profile. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04563936.

【Objective】 To explore the factors influencing the survival and prognosis of patients with bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC) after surgical treatment, and to establish an artificial intelligence algorithm to predict the effects of different surgical regimens. 【Methods】 BUC patients treated with surgery during Jan.2007 and Jan.2019 in The Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University and Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University were enrolled. The complete clinical and follow-up data were collected. Deep neural network (DNN) was used to establish an artificial intelligence algorithm model. A prediction model of survival and prognosis was established, and the influencing factors of survival were explored and ranked by the artificial intelligence algorithm. 【Results】 A total of 832 patients were involved, including 438 (52.64%) treated in The Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University, and 394 (47.36%) treated in Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University. Of all cases, 579 (69.6%) were non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, and 253 (30.4%) were muscle invasive bladder cancer. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor was conducted in 539 (64.8%) cases, partial cystectomy in 66 (7.9%) cases, and total cystectomy in 227 (27.3%) cases. The data of patients treated in Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University were used for DNN modeling, and the data of patients treated in Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University were used for external verification after modeling. Finally, it was concluded that the factors affecting survival and prognosis were T stage, pathological grade, hypertension or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, hemoglobin, blood calcium, smoking, albumin, lymphocytes, age, ratio of albumin/globulin, operation method, N stage, and creatinine clearance rate in descending order. The model could be used for preoperative prediction. 【Conclusion】 Through DNN modeling and external verification, the influencing factors of postoperative survival can be predicted for patients with bladder cancer, and the surgical effects can also be predicted before operation. The model can provide artificial intelligence algorithm support for the selection of surgical methods and postoperative follow-up plans.

Objective:To determine the characteristics of hospitalized newly diagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with high disease activity, and identify the risk factors.Methods:Data from 194 newly diagnosed SLE patients at Shanghai Renji Hospital between May 2013 and December 2018 were collected retrospectively. All patients were followed up for 1 year or until death. Patients' demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics on admission and medication history were retrospectively collected as baseline data. Patients were divided into two groups, lupus patients with infection (51 cases) and lupus patients without infection (143 cases). The method of univariate analysis of data depended on the data distribution type. Variables that suggested association in the univariate analysis ( P<0.05) were entered into Cox regression model. Results:Among 194 patients with newly diagnosed SLE, 21 cases (11%) died and 51 cases (26%) were infected during 1-year follow-up. Regarding the infection site, 34 cases (67%) had lung infection, 9 cases (18%) had central nervous system infection and 9 cases (18%) had blood stream infection. Common bacteria were identified in 19 cases (45%), followed by fungal infection in 18 cases (43%) and mycobacterium infection in 7 cases (17%). Among the 51 patients with infection, 38 patients (75%) had infection within the first 3 months after diagnosis, and mortality in this group was significantly higher than that in the uninfected group (39%, 15/38 vs 2%, 3/143 , P<0.01). Comparing baseline parameters between patients with 3-month infection and without, significant differences ( P<0.05) were detected in age (≥40 years), systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) score (>10 points), Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinic (SLICC)/American College of Rheumatology(ACR) systemic lupus erythematosus damage index (SDI) (≥1 point), pericardial effusion, nephritis, gastrointestinal vasculitis, diabetes, lymphocyte count <0.8×10 9/L platelet count <100×10 9/L, serum creatinine >104 mmol/L and serum globulin level <20 g/L. Finally, clinically meaningful candidate predictors were included in the Cox regression model and it showed that lymphocyte count <0.8×10 9/L, nephritis and gastrointestinal vasculitis were independently predictive for 3-month infection in new-onset lupus patients. Conclusion:Understanding disease spectrums and risk factors of infection in newly diagnosed SLE patients will help clinicians to manage those patients with infection effectively to achieve favorable prognosis.

microRNAs (miRNAs), a class of endogenous non-coding RNA about 22 nucleotide long, regulate gene expression at the post-transcription level by inhibiting the translation or inducing the degradation of their target mRNAs in organisms. A lot of studies reveal that miRNAs in adipose tissues are involved in adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism and modulated by multiple transcription factors, adipocytokines and environmental factors, which form a complex regulatory network maintaining the homeostasis of adipose tissues. The discovery of circulating miRNAs adds new elements to the regulatory network. To study the metabolic diseases such as obesity, we should keep a new insight into the complex dynamic network. In this review, we summarize the latest studies of miRNAs in adipose tissues, which might provide new strategies for the treatment of obesity and other related diseases.
