ObjectiveTo investigate the potential mechanism of Shenqi Yiliu Formula （参芪抑瘤方） in treating precancerous lesions of gastric cancer （PLGC） by the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. MethodsThe CCK-8 assay was used to determine the optimal intervention time for Shenqi Yiliu Formula drug-containing serum and the concentration of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor XAV939 depends on the survival rate of AGS gastric cancer cell line. AGS cells were divided into the gastric cancer cell group （15% blank serum）， inhibitor group （selected concentration of XAV939）， high-dose Shenqi Yiliu Formula group （12% Shenqi Yiliu Formula drug-containing serum + 3% blank serum）， medium-dose Shenqi Yiliu Formula group （6% Shenqi Yiliu Formula drug-containing serum + 9% blank serum）， and low-dose Shenqi Yiliu Formula group （3% Shenqi Yiliu Formula drug-containing serum + 12% blank serum）. Each group was tested in triplicate. After culturing for 24 and 48 hours， cell migration and invasion were assessed by scratch assays； after a selected intervention period （48 hours）， cell cycle distribution was analyzed using flow cytometry， Ki67 protein levels were detected by immunofluorescence， the protein levels of Wnt， β-catenin， GSK-3β， and intranuclear T-cell specific factor（TCF） were measured by the protein immunoblotting assay， and the mRNA expressions of these above factors were determined by quantitative real-time PCR. ResultsThe optimal intervention time for Shenqi Yiliu Formula drug-containing serum was determined to be 48 hours， and the effective concentration of XAV939 was 20 μmol/L. Compared with the gastric cancer cell group， Shenqi Yiliu Formula at all doses reduced the cell migration rate at 24 and 48 hours （P＜0.05）， except for the low-dose group at 24 hours. Compared to the low-dose group at corresponding time points， high- and medium-dose Shenqi Yiliu Formula groups showed significantly reduced migration rates， particularly the high-dose group at 48 hours （P＜0.05）. Compared with the gastric cancer cell group， the high-dose Shenqi Yiliu Formula and inhibitor groups exhibited reduced protein and mRNA levels of Wnt， β-catenin， and TCF， along with reduced Ki67 protein levels and a decreased proportion of cells in the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle， but GSK-3β protein levels， GSK-3β mRNA expression， and the proportion of cells in the G1 phase increased （P＜0.05）. Compared to the inhibitor group， the high-dose Shenqi Yiliu Formula group showed a decreased proportion of G1-phase cells and an increased proportion of G2-phase cells （P＜0.05）， although differences in Wnt and β-catenin protein levels and mRNA expressions were not statistically significant （P＞0.05）. ConclusionShenqi Yiliu Formula drug-containing serum inhibits the migration and invasion of gastric cancer AGS cells and block the cell cycle at G1 phase， and its underlying mechanism may be related to the regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective To clarify the occurrence,location distribution,and risk factors of microperforations in surgical gloves used in dermatovenereology surgeries.Methods A total of 898 sterilized surgical gloves worn by right-handed medical staff during dermatovenereology surgeries in Suqian Hospital of Jiangsu Province Hospital from May 2022 to April 2024 were selected as the research objects.The occurrence and location distribution of microperforations in all sterilized surgical gloves after surgery were collected.Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis were conducted on the factors that might lead to the occurrence of microperforations.Results Among the 898 gloves selected in this study,61 gloves(6.79%)had microperforations;the incidence of microperforations in the gloves worn on the left hand was significantly higher than that in the gloves worn on the right hand(P<0.05);microperforations were prone to occur on the palmar surfaces of the index finger and thumb of the gloves.The results of univariate and binary Logistic regression analyses showed that the use of special instruments,surgery duration≥60 minutes,ingrown nails surgery,and worn by the chief surgeon were the risk factors for the occur-rence of microperforations in sterilized surgical gloves(OR>1,P<0.05),while wearing double-layer gloves was the protective factor to avoid the occurrence of microperforations(OR<1,P<0.05).Conclusion The sterilized surgical gloves are more likely to occur microperforations if involved special instruments in surgery,surgery duration≥60 minutes,and ingrown nails surgery,and worn by the chief surgeon,while wearing double-layer gloves can reduce the incidence of microperforations.

Objective:To investigate the survival outcomes and prognostic factors of patients with double primary breast cancer (BC) and endometrial cancer (EC).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data for the period 1992-2018 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. There were 3 465 patients with BC as the first primary cancer (BC-EC group) and 2 804 patients with EC as the first primary cancer (EC-BC group). Kaplan-Meier analysis and cumulative incidence function were used to estimate overall mortality, breast cancer-specific mortality, and endometrial cancer-specific mortality, respectively. Cox regression and Fine-Gray regression were used to analyze the prognostic factors of overall mortality, breast cancer-specific mortality, and endometrial cancer-specific mortality, respectively.Results:During a median follow-up of 160 months, 1 616 deaths occurred in the BC-EC group, with EC being the leading cause of death (37.69%); 994 deaths occurred in the EC-BC group, with BC being the leading cause of death (28.77%). Cox regression identified patients with older ages at first primary cancer diagnosis (54-61 years: HR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.26-1.69; 62-68 years: HR=2.64, 95% CI: 2.29-3.03; ≥69 years: HR=4.89, 95% CI: 4.27-5.60), shorter time interval between the diagnoses (0-5 months: HR=6.13, 95% CI: 5.21-7.21; 6-23 months: HR=5.69, 95% CI: 4.95-6.55; 24-59 months: HR=3.44, 95% CI: 3.04-3.89; 60-119 months: HR=2.32, 95% CI: 2.07-2.59), mixed ductal-lobular BC ( HR=1.29, 95% CI: 1.11-1.48), endometrial mixed cell adenocarcinoma ( HR=1.23, 95% CI: 1.01-1.50), advanced tumor grade (grade Ⅱ BC: HR=1.13, 95% CI: 1.01-1.27; grade Ⅲ BC: HR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.10-1.41; grade Ⅱ EC: HR=1.19, 95% CI: 1.06-1.33; grade Ⅲ EC: HR=1.68, 95% CI: 1.48-1.90), advanced tumor stage of the two cancers (distant BC: HR=3.14, 95% CI: 2.50-3.94; regional EC: HR=1.53, 95% CI: 1.36-1.71; distant EC: HR=3.00, 95% CI: 2.59-3.47) had increased risk of overall mortality. Fine-Gray regression showed that compared with BC-EC patients, EC-BC patients had a higher risk of breast cancer-specific mortality [sub-distribution hazard ratio (s HR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.04-1.47], but a lower risk of endometrial cancer-specific mortality (s HR=0.37, 95% CI: 0.30-0.46). Older ages at first cancer diagnosis, shorter intervals between the diagnoses, negative ER and PR status, and advanced BC grades/stages were associated with increased breast cancer-specific mortality ( P＜0.05). Similarly, older ages, shorter intervals, endometrial serous carcinoma/mixed cell adenocarcinoma, and advanced EC grades/stages correlated with elevated endometrial cancer-specific mortality ( P＜0.05). Conclusion:The management of double primary BC and EC patients requires multidisciplinary strategies, with particular attention to patients presenting older ages at first cancer diagnosis, shorter intervals between the diagnoses, and unfavorable tumor characteristics.

Objective:To investigate the prognoses of patients with medial medullary infarction (MMI) or lateral medullary infarction (LMI) and their influencing factors.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed; 489 patients with acute medullary infarction admitted to Department of Neurology, Tianjin Huanhu Hospital from January 2017 to January 2024 were enrolled. Among them, 186 patients had MMI, which was divided into isolated MMI group ( n=126) and group of MMI with other infarcts ( n=60); 303 patients had LMI, which was divided into isolated LMI group ( n=176) and group of LMI with other infarcts ( n=127). Prognosis 90 days after onset was assessed by modified Rankin Scale (mRS, scores of 3-6 as poor prognosis). Clinical data, prognosis and mortality 90 days after onset, early neurological deterioration, respiratory failure, and complications were compared between isolated MMI group and group of MMI with other infarcts and between isolated LMI group and group of LMI with other infarcts. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the independent influencing factors for poor prognosis 90 days after onset in patients with MMI or LMI. Results:(1) Compared with isolated MMI group, group of MMI with other infarcts had significantly lower rates of alcohol history and sensory symptoms but higher rates of Horner's syndrome, dysphagia, dysarthria, and facial palsy ( P<0.05). Compared with isolated LMI group, group of LMI with other infarcts had significantly lower rates of sensory symptoms but higher rates of dizzy and dysarthria, and statistically different Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment types ( P<0.05). (2) The poor prognosis rate 90 days after onset in patients with MMI was significantly higher than that in patients with LMI (31.8% vs. 18.8%, P<0.05). Compared with isolated MMI group, group of MMI with other infarcts had significantly higher rates of respiratory failure, urinary retention, and pulmonary infection ( P<0.05). Compared with isolated LMI group, group of LMI with other infarcts had significantly higher rates of poor prognosis 90 days after onset, mortality 90 days after onset, early neurological deterioration, respiratory failure, stress ulcers, and pulmonary infection ( P<0.05). (3) Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that dyskinesia ( OR=10.522, 95% CI: 1.246-88.853, P=0.031) and vertical multi-level involvement ( OR=4.585, 95% CI: 1.405-14.962, P=0.012) were independent influencing factors for poor prognosis in isolated MMI patients 90 days after onset; age ( OR=1.089, 95% CI: 1.017-1.166, P=0.015), vertical multi-level involvement ( OR=9.429, 95% CI: 1.625-54.502, P=0.012) were independent influencing factors for poor prognosis in MMI patients with other infarcts 90 days after onset; age ( OR=1.069, 95% CI: 1.006-1.136, P=0.031) and vertical multi-level involvement ( OR=7.125, 95% CI: 2.243-22.636, P<0.001) were independent influencing factors for poor prognosis in isolated LMI patients 90 days after onset; diabetes ( OR=2.807, 95% CI: 1.056-7.461, P=0.038), dysphagia ( OR=6.821, 95% CI: 1.978-23.518, P=0.002), and temporal-occipital infarcts ( OR=3.419, 95% CI: 1.133-10.302, P=0.029) were independent influencing factors for poor prognosis in LMI patients with other infarcts. Conclusion:Patients with LMI had better prognosis compared with patients with MMI; however, LMI patients with other infarcts had poorer prognosis compared with LMI patients; LMI patients with diabetes mellitus, dysphagia or temporal-occipital infarcts are prone to have poor prognosis.

[Objective] To analyze the serological characteristics and molecular biology results for a P^k phenotype. [Methods] One patient with P^k phenotype upon unexpected antibodies at Jining Blood Center in July 2022 was selected as the study subject. The blood groups and unexpected antibodies of the proband and his second son were identified using serological methods. The sequences of 3-β-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase gene (B3GALNT1) and the coding region of α-1,4-galactosyltransferase gene (A4GALT) were amplified and analyzed by PCR direct sequencing, and haploid sequence analysis was carried out on the variant sites of the B3GALNT1 gene. PROVEAN, SIFT, PolyPhen2 and Mutation Taster were used to analyze the effect of mutations on the protein. [Results] Serological test results suggested that the proband was a P2^k type, including anti-P antibody in his serum, and his son was the P2 phenotype. Sequencing analysis revealed that the proband had a compound heterozygous variants of the B3GALNT1 in c. 239T>A (p. Leu80Gln) and c. 433C>T (p. Arg145Ter). Further haploid analysis showed that the c. 239T>A had occurred in one haploid while c. 433C>T was present in the other haploid, and his son carried a heterozygous variant of c. 433C>T (p. Arg145Ter); the proband and his son all have homozygous mutation variants of the A4GALT in c. 903C>G. Bioinformatic analysis also predicted that the mutations were harmful to the protein function. [Conclusion] The compound heterozygous variants c. 239T>A (p. Leu80Gln) and c. 433C>T (p. Arg145Ter) in the B3GALNT1 gene may contribute to the P^k phenotype, of which the c. 239T>A variant has not been reported.

Objective:This study aimed to validated the diagnostic accuracy of Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition(GLIM)criteria for malnutrition in pancreatic cancer patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy and to evaluated its prognostic value for postoperative outcome.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 230 consecutive pancreatic cancer patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at the Department of Pancreatobiliary Surgery,Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center,between January 2018 to January 2024.Patients were stratified into malnutrition group and non-malnutrition group using Nutritional Risk Screening 2002(NRS 2002)and GLIM criteria.Multivariable logistic regression identified independent risk factors for postoperative morbidity.Results:GLIM criteria identified malnutrition in 96 patients(41.7％).Compared with the non-malnourished group,the number of preoperative nutritional support(t=20.038,P<0.001),the number of preoperative enteral nutrition support(t=8.377,P=0.004),the number of preoperative parenteral nutrition support(t=22.302,P<0.001),the number of anemia(t=8.037,P=0.005)and preoperative parenteral nutrition use days(t=-2.898,P=0.009),the difference was statistically significant.There were statistically significant differences in C-reactive protein(t=10.944,P=0.008),NLR(t=-2.523,P=0.012)and PNI(t=-2.397,P=0.017)between the two groups before surgery.Preoperative BMI(t=-4.410,P<0.001)was significantly lower in the malnourished group.The number of postoperative parenteral nutrition days(Z=-2.283,P=0.022)and amino acid supplementation during postoperative hospitalization were significantly higher in the malnourished group(Z=-2.309,P=0.021).The incidence of malnutrition was higher in patients with Clavien-Dindo grade≥Ⅲ(P=0.030)and intra-abdominal infections(P=0.049).Multivariable analysis identified preoperative weight loss(OR=2.154,95％CI:1.158～4.005;P=0.015)and BMI reduction(OR=0.175,95％CI:0.040～0.775;P=0.022)as independent predictors of postoperative complications.Conclusions:The GLIM standard effectively characterize malnutrition status in pancreatic cancer patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy patients and demonstrate superior predictive performance for postoperative morbidity.It has good predictive performance and clinical application value.

Objective To investigate the effect of cordyceps sinensis(CS)on the activation of fibroblasts through IL-6 trans-signaling pathway and its specific mechanism in the treatment of renal fibrosis.Methods Renal fibrosis mouse model was established by unilateral ischemia/reperfusion(UIR),and the mice were administered intragastrically CS,soluble glycoprotein 130 Fc(sgp130Fc)or Hyper-IL-6.Masson's trichrome staining was utilized to identify tubulointerstitial fibrosis.PAS staining was utilized to assess the extent of renal injury.Western blot was employed to analyze the expression levels of fibrosis markers[alpha-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),fibronectin(FN)]and proteins associated with IL-6 trans-signaling pathway[phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(p-STAT3),soluble interleukin-6 receptor(sIL-6R)].The expression and localization of proteins were additionally detected by immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence and qPCR.The effect of cordyceps sinensis extract cordycepin on IL-6 trans-signaling in fibroblasts was further investigated in vitro.Results The results from in vivo experiments showed that administration of CS during the chronic phase demonstrated a beneficial protective impact on inflammation and fibrosis in the affected kidney,and serum creatinine levels and collagen deposition were decreased.Western blot analysis revealed a decrease in the expression levels of α-SMA,FN,as well as IL-6 trans-signaling pathway protein p-STAT3,sIL-6R in the treatment group.Additionally,the mRNA expression levels of chemokines monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12(CXCL12)were also decreased in the CS treatment group.Additionally,Hyper-IL-6 can partially counteract the therapeutic effects of CS.In vitro experiments further demonstrated that cordycepin inhibited the secretion of IL-6 from NRK-52E.Combined treatment of recombinant IL-6 and sIL-6R protein activated NRK-49F,leading to a significant increase in α-SMA,FN,and p-STAT3 expression levels.Cordycepin or sgp130Fc treatment significantly inhibited the proliferation of fibroblasts induced by IL-6 trans-signaling pathway.Conclusion CS can significantly reduce IL-6 secretion by renal tubular epithelial cells and inhibit the activation of IL-6 trans-signaling pathway in fibroblasts,thereby ameliorating renal interstitial fibrosis.
