ObjectiveTo investigate the association between immunoglobulin G （IgG）/immunoglobulin M （IgM） ratio and prognosis in patients with initially unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma （iuHCC） receiving TTP triple therapy with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization （TACE）， tyrosine kinase inhibitor （TKI）， and programmed cell death protein-1 （PD-1） inhibitors. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 151 iuHCC patients who received TTP triple therapy in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery， Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital， from November 2019 to December 2022， and according to IgG/IgM ratio， they were divided into high IgG/IgM group （IgG/IgM ratio >13.23） and low IgG/IgM group （IgG/IgM ratio ≤13.23）. The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups， and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test were used for survival analysis， and the Cox proportional hazards model was used to investigate the potential influencing factors for overall survival （OS）. ResultsThe 151 patients had a median OS of 26.7 months （95% confidence interval ［CI］： 19.8-not reached） and a median progression-free survival of 12.5 months （95%CI： 10.4 — 15.8）. The objective response rate was 83.4% and the disease control rate was 94.0%. There were no significant differences in baseline data between the high IgG/IgM group and the low IgG/IgM group （all P>0.05）. There was a significant difference in median OS between the high IgG/IgM group and the low IgG/IgM group （20.6 months vs not reached， P=0.016）. In both the high IgG/IgM group and the low IgG/IgM group， salvage hepatectomy was significantly associated with the improvement in OS （χ²=8.297 and 10.307， both P<0.05）. The multivariate analysis showed that high IgG/IgM ratio （hazard ratio ［HR］=1.799， 95%CI： 1.077 — 3.006， P=0.025）， baseline alpha-fetoprotein >400 ng/mL （HR=1.762， 95%CI： 1.017 — 3.050， P=0.043）， and BCLC stage （HR=2.265， 95%CI： 1.212 — 4.232， P=0.010） were independent influencing factors for OS. ConclusionHigh IgG/IgM ratio is associated with a poorer prognosis in iuHCC patients receiving TTP triple therapy， and salvage hepatectomy has a potential value in improving the prognosis of patients with a high IgG/IGM ratio.

Objective: To understand the epidemiological characteristics and disease burden of influenza like illness (ILI) among student populations, so as to provide data support for policy formulation and optimal allocation of health resources. Methods: From January 2024 to February 2025, a questionnaire survey was conducted among parents of kindergarten, primary school, junior and senior high school students in 9 districts of Shenzhen, including Longhua, Futian, Bao an, Longgang, Luohu, Nanshan, Guangming, Pingshan and Yantian. Parents were asked to complete the questionnaire based on whether their children had fever, cough, vomiting, diarrhea, rash and other common symptoms in 2024. A total of 3 537 parents were investigated, and 444 ILI cases were included as study subjects. The epidemiological burden, including incidence rate of influenza, visitation rate, years lived with disability (YLDs) and economic burden (including direct economic burden, indirect economic burden and intangible burden) were analyzed. Results: The incidence rate of influenza among students in Shenzhen in 2024 was 12.55%. The ILI incidence rates in kindergarten, primary school, junior and senior high school were 14.01%, 11.69% and 5.23%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2= 45.20, P <0.01). The ILI consultation rate among students was 85.36%, and the consultation rates in kindergarten (87.36%) and primary school students (84.62%) were higher than those in junior and senior high school students ( 56.52 %) ( χ 2=16.47, P <0.01). A total of 78.88% of cases did not receive etiological detection.The median total economic burden per ILI case was 2 354.62 yuan, including direct medical costs of 300.00 yuan, direct non medical costs of 212.50 yuan, indirect costs of 1 000.00 yuan, and intangible burden of 500.00 yuan. Conclusions Schools are high risk environment for influenza, and younger students are a high risk group for ILI. The disease burden caused by student ILI remains substantial.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Jianpi Xiao'ai prescription （JPXAP） inhibits colorectal cancer progression by regulating the inducible nitric oxide synthase-arginase 1 （iNOS-ARG1） metabolic axis and inducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species （mito-ROS）-mediated mitochondrial structural and functional impairment. MethodsAn arginine metabolism disorder model of human colorectal cancer HCT116 cells was established by combined treatment with recombinant human interferon-γ （IFN-γ， 10 μg·L^-1） and N（ω）-hydroxy-L-arginine （Nor-NOHA， 200 μmol·L^-1） for 24 h， followed by intervention with 5%， 10%， or 20% JPXAP-containing serum. Cell proliferation was assessed using cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8）， 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine （EdU） staining， and colony formation assays. Cell invasion and migration were evaluated using Transwell chamber and wound healing assays. Mitochondrial membrane potential （MMP） and ROS levels were assessed by JC-1 and MitoSOX staining， respectively. Mitochondrial ultrastructure was observed by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The expression of iNOS， ARG1， and mitochondrial dynamics-related proteins， including mitofusin 2 （MFN2） and dynamin-related protein 1 （DRP1）， was analyzed by Western blot and immunofluorescence. The levels of L-arginine， citrulline， and urea were determined by colorimetric methods and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. ResultsCompared with the blank group， the model group exhibited significantly upregulated iNOS expression， downregulated ARG1 expression， a decreased ARG1/iNOS ratio， reduced L-arginine and urea levels， and increased citrulline levels （P<0.05）. Meanwhile， mito-ROS accumulation was significantly increased， the JC-1 red/green fluorescence ratio was decreased， and mitochondria showed swelling and cristae disruption， indicating that metabolic disorder induced mitochondrial injury. Compared with the model group， all JPXAP-treated groups further decreased the ARG1/iNOS ratio， enhanced nitric oxide （NO） and reactive nitrogen species accumulation， further reduced L-arginine and urea levels， and increased citrulline levels （P<0.01）. EdU-positive rate， colony formation rate， wound healing rate， and Transwell invasion number all decreased significantly with increasing serum concentration （P<0.01）. Mito-ROS levels were further elevated， and the JC-1 red/green ratio further decreased. TEM revealed aggravated mitochondrial swelling and vacuolization. MFN2 expression was downregulated and DRP1 expression was upregulated （P<0.01），in a dose-dependent manner. ConclusionJPXAP further activates NO-mediated oxidative/nitrosative stress under arginine metabolism imbalance， inducing mito-ROS accumulation， MMP collapse， and mitochondrial dynamics imbalance， thereby inhibiting colorectal cancer cell proliferation and migration. These findings reveal an antitumor mechanism of JPXAP based on coordinated targeting of the "metabolism-mitochondria" axis.

Genetics,which provides important theoretical knowledge for the cultivation of students majo-ring in biology,is a discipline that studies the law of biological heredity and variation.In the era of high-ly advanced information technology,the blended online and offline teaching model has progressively been integrated into university classrooms,which seamlessly merges offline teaching with"Internet+"and greatly improves the outcomes and effectiveness of student learning and teacher instruction.Taking the genetics course as a platform,this paper first examines the complementary features of online and offline teaching methods.Then,the genetic teaching model that was carried out through various online platforms and resources were designed and optimized from purely online instruction and blended online-offline in-struction respectively.The assessment and evaluation methodologies were also enhanced.The findings of the investigation on the impact of teaching practices showed that a notable enhancement in students'en-thusiasm for learning genetic courses was achieved.This was reflected in the fact that an increasing num-ber of students selected genetic-related topics in science and innovation competitions.Meanwhile,com-pared with the non-implementation of blended teaching reform,students'academic performance in genet-ics courses has also been significantly improved,with a total score of about 5-6 points.The implementa-tion of the innovative blended teaching model will further enhance the efficiency of classroom teaching in-novation and talent training.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacies of extrapleural internal fixation and transthoracic internal fixation in the treat-ment of thoracic tuberculosis.Methods A total of 70 patients with thoracic tuberculosis(T4 to T10)who were admitted to our hospital from June 2018 to June 2023 were enrolled,and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.The 35 patients treated with extrapleural internal fixation were included in the extrapleural group,and the other 35 patients treated with transthoracic internal fixation were included in the transthoracic group.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,bone graft fusion time,kyphotic angle before and after operation,visual analogue scale(VAS)and Oswestry disability index(ODI)scores after operation,postoperative complications and recurrence were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the transthoracic group,the operation time and bone graft fusion time were significantly shortened,and the intraoperative blood loss was significantly reduced in the extrapleural group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The postoperative kyphotic angles of the two groups were smaller than those before operation,the postoperative kyphotic angle of the extrapleural group was smaller than that of the transthoracic group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The VAS score 7 days after operation of the extrapleural group was lower than that of the transthoracic group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The ODI score 1 month after operation of the extrapleural group was lower than that of the transthoracic group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of postoperative complications in the extrapleural group(0)was lower than that in the transthoracic group(34.28%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Extrapleural internal fixation has the advantages of short time,less bleeding and less trauma in the treatment of thoracic tuberculosis,but it is difficult to completely remove the lesions.Transthoracic internal fixation can completely remove the lesion,but the surgical trauma is large.The choice of clinical operation plan should be comprehensively considered according to the specific condition of the patients,the location of the lesion,and the condition of the lung,so as to achieve the best treatment effect.

Objective To observe the effects of Jianpi Huatan Prescription on hepatic cholesterol synthesis in subclinical hypothyroidism(SCH)mice;To discuss its mechanism based on cAMP/CREB/HMGCR signaling pathway.Methods Totally 80 C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into control group(10 mice)and modeling group(70 mice),and the modeling group was given methimazole 0.08 mg/(kg·d)in drinking water for 16 weeks to establish a SCH mdoel.The model mice were randomly divided into model group,euthyrox group and Jianpi Huatan Prescription high-,medium-and low-dosage groups,with 10 mice in each group,and were given corresponding drugs for gavage for 6 weeks.HE staining and Oil red O staining were used to observe the morphology and lipid deposition of liver tissue,ELISA was used to detect serum contents of thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),triiodothyronine(T3),thyroid hormone(T4),total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),and TC,cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)in liver tissue,Western blot was used to detect the expressions of protein kinase A(PKA),cyclic adenosine response element binding protein(CREB),p-CREB and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase(HMGCR)in liver tissue.Results Compared with the control group,the liver tissue of mice in the model group showed fat vacuoles of different sizes and obvious lipid deposition;the contents of TSH,TC,TG in serum and TC,cAMP in liver tissue significantly increased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);the protein expressions of PKA,p-CREB and HMGCR significantly increased(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,lipid deposition in liver tissue and structure of liver cells was improved to varying degrees in euthyrox group and Jianpi Huatan Prescription high-and medium-dosage groups,and the contents of serum TSH,TC,TG,and liver tissue TC,cAMP decreased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);the expressions of PKA,p-CREB and HMGCR protein in liver tissue increased significantly(P＜0.01).Conclusion Jianpi Huatan Prescription can significantly inhibit hepatic cholesterol synthesis in SCH mice,and improve hepatic fat vacuoles and lipid deposition,and its mechanism may be to reduce TSH levels in SCH mice by regulating the cAMP/CREB/HMGCR signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of intraosseous regional administration (IORA) of vancomycin for preventing infection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 124 patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing TKA between February 2024 and May 2024 at nine hospitals were enrolled. Preoperative infection prophylaxis involved either IORA (0.5 g vancomycin administered via intraosseous regional infusion before incision) or intravenous infusion (1 g vancomycin via peripheral vein). The IORA group included 15 males and 47 females with a median age of 66.5 years (range, 60.0-70.0 years), while the intravenous group included 14 males and 48 females with a median age of 66.0 years (range, 61.8-70.3 years) years. Intraoperative samples were collected including fat and synovium tissues after incision, before prosthesis placement, and after tourniquet release; distal femoral cancellous bone during femoral osteotomy; proximal tibial cancellous bone during tibial osteotomy; proximal intercondylar cancellous bone before prosthesis placement; and peripheral blood from non-infused arms at surgery initiation and after tourniquet release. Vancomycin concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Vital sign changes were recorded from admission to 5~10 minutes post-IORA (IORA group) or post-incision (intravenous group). Follow-ups were conducted on postoperative day 1 and 3, and at 1 and 3 months, to document complications including IORA-related adverse events, periprosthetic joint infections, surgical site infections, red man syndrome, acute kidney injury, deep vein thrombosis and so on.Results:Vancomycin concentrations in bone, fat, and synovial tissue samples were significantly higher in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05), while vancomycin concentrations in blood samples were significantly lower in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05). Only 7.3%(41/558) of tissue samples in the IORA group had vancomycin concentrations below 2.0 μg/g (the minimum inhibitory concentration of vancomycin against coagulase-negative staphylococcus), compared to 59.3%(331/558) in the intravenous group (χ 2=11.285, P<0.001). In the intravenous group, 16.9%(21/124) of blood samples had vancomycin concentrations exceeding 15.0 mg/L (the threshold associated with a significantly increased risk of nephrotoxicity), while all concentrations in the IORA group were below this threshold, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=22.943, P<0.001). There were no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) in vital signs changes before and after vancomycin administration between the two groups. Two patients in the intravenous group experienced incision exudate, while no other related complications occurred in either group. Conclusions:Compared to the traditional intravenous infusion of 1 g vancomycin, intraosseous injection of a low dose (0.5 g) of vancomycin achieves higher local tissue concentrations in the knee joint with a lower incidence of adverse reactions and is safe for infection prophylaxis. Despite guidelines not recommending the routine use of vancomycin for preventing infection after primary TKA, intraosseous injection of 0.5 g vancomycin may be considered intraoperatively for primary TKA in the following scenarios: patients in medical institutions with a high prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, patients with potential preoperative MRSA colonization, or patients with cephalosporin allergy.

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is an uncommon malignancy, and its occurrence in the penis is even rarer. This paper reports a case of primary sarcomatoid carcinoma of the penis. The patient was admitted to the hospital with a mass on the glans penis with ulceration, and underwent partial penectomy, and the postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of sarcomatoid carcinoma. One month after surgery, lower abdominal ultrasound and MRI showed abnormal enlargement of bilateral inguinal area and pelvic lymph nodes, respectively. PET/CT scan showed multiple lymph node metastases in retroperitoneum, pelvis, and inguinal area. The patient was recommended chemotherapy, which was refused by the patient and his family. At 9-month postoperative follow-up, there was no recurrence of the penile stump and no deterioration of the condition.

Objective:To analyze the short-term efficacy and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy（RAPN）for non-metastatic pathological stage T 3a renal cell carcinoma. Methods:The clinical and pathological data of 45 patients with pathologically confirmed non-metastatic T 3a renal cell carcinoma who underwent RAPN at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 2016 and December 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 30 males and 15 females. The average age of the cohort was（54.3±10.7）years，and the average clinical tumor diameter was（4.9±1.8）cm. Of all the patients，35（77.8%）were asymptomatic，7（15.6%）presented with hematuria，and 3（6.7%）presented with lumbar pain. Preoperative imaging assessed 34 patients（75.6%）as having clinical stage T 3a，all suspected of involving the collecting system or perirenal fat invasion；the remaining 11 patients（24.4%）were assessed as having stage T 1-2 disease. The median R.E.N.A.L. nephrectomy score was 8.0（7.0，10.0）. A history of hypertension，diabetes，or chronic kidney disease was present in 18 patients（40.0%）. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival，and the secondary endpoints included postoperative complications and short-term renal function outcomes. Survival curve was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method，and renal function comparisons were made using the paired t-test. Results:The RAPN was performed through a transabdominal approach in 32 patients（71.1%），with a median estimated blood loss of 150.0（50.0，300.0）ml. Seven（15.6%）patients required intraoperative blood transfusion. The median length of postoperative hospital stay was 4.0（4.0，6.0）days. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients（13.3%），including 5（11.1%）with mild complications and 1（2.2%）with a severe complication. Renal function returned to baseline in 24 of 39 evaluable patients（61.5%），while 3 patients（7.7%）developed surgery-related chronic kidney disease 3 to 12 months postoperatively，but none required dialysis. The median follow-up time was 31.8（22.7，50.9）months，12（26.7%）patients received programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitor adjuvant therapy postoperatively. During follow-up，3 patients experienced tumor recurrence，the 3-year progression-free survival rate of the entire cohort was 95.4%.Conclusions:For some carefully selected patients with T 3a renal cell carcinoma，RAPN performed by experienced surgeons is a feasible and safe option，providing excellent short-term oncological outcomes，complication control，and renal function recovery. The long-term efficacy remains to be seen.

Wound cleansing is an essential step in skin wound management. It can prevent local infection and optimize healing micro-environment by removing necrotic tissue and foreign matter, reducing microbial load, breaking bacterial biofilm formation and so on. Many randomized controlled trials and meta-analysis abroad have concluded that there is no significant difference in the incidence of wound infection and healing rate between the wounds irrigated with tap water and with sterile normal saline for skin wound cleansing. Considering the current requirements of medical fee policies in China, we recommend the use of tap water instead of saline or other wound cleansing solutions for cleansing skin wounds.
