Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety differences between the triple immunosuppressive regimen of mizoribine (MZR) or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) combined with tacrolimus (Tac) and glucocorticoids of kidney transplant recipients in one year after transplantation. Methods A single-center retrospective cohort study design was adopted. The clinical data of 156 patients who underwent the first allogeneic kidney transplantation at the Third Hospital of Peking University from January 2022 to December 2024 were included. The patients were divided into the MZR group (78 cases) and the MMF group (78 cases) based on the initial immunosuppressive regimen after transplantation. The baseline data, medication use in one year after transplantation, blood routine indicators, adverse events and clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups. For the repeated-measurement longitudinal data, repeated-measurement analysis of variance was used to evaluate the main effects of the groups, time and their interaction effects. Results At the primary efficacy endpoint, there were no statistically significant differences in the one-year survival rate, graft survival rate and incidence of acute rejection between the two groups (all P > 0.05). In terms of medication patterns and laboratory test indicators, there were significant time main effects and "time × group" interaction effects for Tac dosage (all P < 0.05). The Tac dosage in the MZR group was lower than that in the MMF group from 2 to 3 months after transplantation, and it was higher in the MZR group than in the MMF group from 7 to 12 months and one year after transplantation. White blood cell count in the MZR group was higher at one month after transplantation, and the platelet count was higher one year after transplantation (all P < 0.05). In terms of infection, the incidence of novel coronavirus and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia infections in the MZR group was lower (all P < 0.05). In terms of metabolic indicators, the post-transplantation uric acid level was better in the MZR group than in the MMF group, but the total cholesterol level was higher one year after transplantation (all P < 0.05). In terms of liver function, there was a brief and mild increase in transaminase in the early stage after transplantation in the MZR group. Conclusions During the one-year follow-up after transplantation, both the MZR and MMF regimens demonstrate comparable immunosuppressive efficacy and overall safety in Chinese kidney transplant recipients. The MZR regimen shows clear advantages in reducing specific infection risks, alleviating bone marrow suppression and improving uric acid metabolism, but its potential impact on blood lipids needs to be monitored. Therefore, the MZR regimen may be an effective and safe alternative immunosuppressive option for kidney transplant recipients, especially those with high infection risk, poor hematological tolerance, or comorbid hyperuricemia.

Objective To investigate the expression level and clinical application value of circular RNA hsa_circ_0001766 in gastric cancer(GC)tissues and serum of patients with GC.Methods The PCR amplification products from GES-1 cells of normal gastric mucosa were analyzed for the cyclic sites of hsa_circ_0001766 by the Sanger sequencing technique.The expression levels of hsa_circ_0001766 in GES-1 cells treated or untreated with RNase R(RNase R)were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR).The expression levels of hsa_circ_0001766 in GC and adjacent tissues of 73 GC patients and serum samples of 34 GC patients were also detected by qRT-PCR.The receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the clinical diag-nostic value of hsa_circ_0001766 in GC.The correlations between hsa_circ_0001766 and clinicopathological parameters in GC patients were also analyzed.Results There was cyclic sites in hsa_circ_0001766 and RNase R had no significant impact on the expression lev-el of hsa_circ_0001766 in GES-1 cells(t=1.678,P=0.169).Compared with adjacent tissues,the expression levels of hsa_circ_0001766 in GC tissues were significantly up-regulated(U=1 360,P<0.001).Compared with healthy controls,the expres-sion levels of hsa_circ_0001766 in serum of GC patients were significantly up-regulated(U=375,P<0.001).The area under the ROC curve(AUCROC),sensitivity,and specificity of hsa_circ_0001766 in GC tissues for diagnosing GC were 0.759(95％CI:0.682-0.837,P<0.000 1),79.45％,and 68.49％,respectively.The AUCROC,sensitivity,and specificity of serum hsa_circ_0001766 in diagnosing GC were 0.773(95％CI:0.662-0.884,P<0.000 1),73.53％,and 72.12％,respectively.The expression levels of hsa_circ_0001766 in GC tissues were correlated with lymph node metastasis(x2=5.509,P=0.019)and TNM staging(x2=5.161,P=0.023).The 3-year survival rate of GC patients with high expression of hsa_circ_0001766 in GC tissues was significantly lower than that with low ex-pression(x2=3.700,P=0.037).Conclusion The hsa_circ_0001766 in GC tissues and serum of GC patients is highly expressed,and its change in the expression level is of great significance for the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of GC patients.

Objective To understand the distribution characteristics of fungi on object surface in hospital environ-ment,and provide reference for the scientific and precise formulation of environment control strategies based on fun-gal in clinic.Methods From December 7 to 23,2023,a total of 60 environmental specimens of 19 categories in 6 departments of a large tertiary first-class hospital were collected and divided into water-related environmental speci-men group,complete facade environmental specimen group,and sanitary ware environmental specimen group.18S rRNA sequencing was performed on specimens with fungi detected.Results Fungal detection rate of environmental specimens was 20.00％(12/60).Sink in the department of endocrinology had the highest fungal colony count(15 CFU/cm2),followed by the air outlet of air disinfection device in the department of thoracic surgery and the in-ternal part of a faucet in the department of endocrinology(both 10 CFU/cm2).The water-related environmental specimen group detected most diverse fungal genera(14 species),with high relative abundances of Aspergillus(100％),Meyerozyma(99.06％),Ophiocordyceps genus(95.63％),and Kodamaea(87.86％).The air outlet of air disinfection device was detected with a high abundance of Chaetomium(44.08％)and Corollospora(39.71％).There was no statistically significant difference in the α-diversity(Shannon and Simpson indices,P values of 0.661 and 0.568,respectively)and β-diversity(P=0.712)among the three environmental specimens.Conclusion Under the routine implementation of basic environmental cleaning and disinfection in medical institutions,fungi are in a low prevalence in the environment.However,moist surfaces and air disinfection device are prone to fungal colonization,and it is necessary to strengthen daily monitoring and take corresponding intervention measures to reduce the risk of infection.

Objective:To evaluate the short-and medium-term therapeutic efficacy of shockwave balloon therapy for TASCⅡ C/D femoropopliteal artery atherosclerosis obliteration.Methods:This retrospective cohort study included 25 patients who received shockwave balloon therapy in five vascular centers from August 2022 to June 2023. All patients were diagnosed with TASC Ⅱ C/D femoropopliteal arteriosclerosis obliterans (13 cases of type C and 12 cases of type D), and underwent intravascular shock wave lithotripsy (IVL) to treat calcified lesions. The immediate effectiveness (residual stenosis<30% and no flow-limiting dissection), safety (whether there were adverse vascular events during the operation) and the rate of salvage stent implantation were recorded. The observation indexes of patients before operation, early postoperative period (immediately after operation or before discharge) and postoperative follow-up period (3, 6, 12 months after operation) were collected. The observation indexes included ankle-brachial index (ABI), Rutherford classification, and minimum lumen diameter (MLD). Repeated measures ANOVA was used to evaluate the changes of observation indexes in the early postoperative and follow-up stages compared with those before operation; Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to evaluate the one-stage patency rate at follow-up and the target lesion revascularization rate free from clinical drive.Results:The immediate effectiveness of surgery was 100% in all patients, with no vascular related adverse events occurred, and no remedial stent implantation was performed. The ABI, Rutherford grade and MLD of the patients in the early postoperative period and each follow-up stage were improved compared with those before operation, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the primary patency rate at 12 months after surgery was 0.78 (95% CI 0.64-0.84), and the revascularization rate of target lesions free from clinical drive was 0.87 (95% CI 0.85-0.95). Conclusion:Shockwave balloon therapy for complex calcified femoropopliteal artery lesions is safe and reliable, with satisfactory short-and medium-term efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic surgery in the treatment of fibro-adipose vascular anomaly (FAVA).Methods:Clinical data of FAVA patients who underwent endoscopic treatment admitted to Xi’an International Medical Center Hospital from October 1, 2019 to April 1, 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, including gender, age of onset, age of diagnosis, lesion location, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stays, incision complications, etc. Before endoscopy, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound were routinely used to locate the lesion range, and the surgical position and Trocar location were selected according to different lesion sites.Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26.0.Results:40 cases of FAVA patients were admitted during the period, all of whom underwent endoscopic radical resection, including 15 males and 25 females. The age of onset was 8 (6, 12.5) years. The age of diagnosis was 11 (8, 22.5) years. There were 31 patients with stage Ⅰ and 9 patients with stage Ⅱ. 31 cases involved the calf, of which 21 involved the calf triceps (gastrocnemius, soleus) and 9 involved the thigh, of which 1 patient had lesions originating from the fascia around the sciatic neurovascular bundle. 11 cases (27.5%) were converted to open surgery. The operative time was 192.5 (107, 292.5) min. The intraoperative blood loss was 35 (10, 87.5) ml. The length of hospital stay for endoscopic surgery was 9 (7, 11) d. The postoperative follow-up time was 11.5 (3.5, 13.5) months. Of the 40 patients, 39 were cured completely without residual pain or joint movement disorder after operation. Postoperative dorsiflexion function of the ankle joint was mildly limited in one patient classified as stage Ⅱ. There was no incision complication and recurrence.Conclusion:For patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ FAVA, endoscopic surgery has concealed incisions, indistinct scars, definite therapeutic effects and high safety.

Objective The characteristics of supramolecular"imprinting template"of volatile oil of Curcuma kwangsiensis and Curcuma phaeocaulis were analyzed and studied based on the supramolecular"qixi"theory of Chinese materia medica combined with chemometrics.Methods The volatile oil of C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis were extracted by steam distillation,and the fingerprint and composition information of each batch were obtained by GC-MS.Total statistical moment method was used to compare the imprinting characteristics of the"imprinting template"of C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis.The core index(CI)of each batch of essential oil of C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis was calculated,and the topological characteristics of types of"imprinting template"of C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis were compared by chemometrics.Results There was no significant difference in the extraction rate of volatile oil between C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis.The average values of total zero order moment(AUCT)were(1.907±0.177)×108,(1.979±0.413)×108 μV·s,respectively,showing that there was no significant difference in the total content of volatile oil between the two groups.The mean values of the total first order moment(MCRTT)were(30.969±0.962)and(33.198±0.409)min.The average value of total second order moment(VCRTT)was(56.176±11.368)and(43.891±4.113)min2,respectively,indicating that there were significant differences in the content ratio and species of volatile oils between the two groups.The similarity of total statistical moments of C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis was mostly lower than the defined value,indicating that the chemical composition and composition ratio of the volatile oil were different.Principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis could obviously divide C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis into two categories.Through the analysis of P value and VIP value,the CI values of Xvp 4th order,Xvpc 5th order,Xvpc 6th order,Xvpc 7th order,Xvc 3rd order,Xvpc 4th order were the main difference values of C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis.Conclusion Through the characterization of"imprinting property"and"topological characteristics"of the supramolecular"imprinting template"and combining with chemometric analysis,it is possible to successfully distinguish C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis,and find the different CI values between two"imprinting templates".
