Objective:To explore the evaluation and relationship of hepatitis B virus(HBV)surface antigen(HBsAg)in clinical laboratory in different detection systems,further scientifically and reasonably to explain the test results for serving clinical practices.Methods:During the period from June 2021 to July 2022,100 425 specimens of patients with screened,suspected and confirmed HBV infections were collected from the clinical departments(mainly infectious hepatology)of Nanyang Central Hospital.Detection methodology included quantitative(electrochemiluminescence and chemiluminescence),qualitative(gold standard),semi-quantita-tive(ELISA),and highly sensitive HBV-DNA(RT-PCR)methods,and then analyzed the strengths and weaknesses and closeness be-tween each methodology.The relationship between the two Roche HBsAg detection systems was analyzed by correlation analysis.The HBsAg efficacy analysis was validated using Cut/Off value setting and detection limit,which in turn analyzed the distribution of false-positive and false-negative reporting models.Results:Detection results for low-and medium-concentration HBsAg showed a correla-tion between the electrochemical luminescence semi-quantitative method and ELISA method.ELISA method still had advantages in terms of sensitivity and specificity when detecting HBsAg,and there were no significant differences compared to domestic and interna-tional HBsAg quantitative detection systems.Performance validation conducted in accordance with the CNAS-GL038 document showed that the minimum detection limit for HBsAg calculated using the ELISA method in this laboratory was 0.1 U/ml.When the ROC curve Cut/Off value was set to 0.105,the area under the curve was the largest(AUC=0.986).Based on Roche's semi-quantitative electroche-miluminescence detection and patient medical history,in the common reporting model for hepatitis B five-item detection using ELISA method,HBsAg false positives occurred most frequently when HBsAg was positive alone,and HBsAg occurred most frequently in the false positive range when the OD value was less than 0.5.In ELISA method for detecting HBsAg,as the OD value increased from 0.01 to 0.10,the number of false-negative results also increased.Roche Elecsys HBsAg Ⅱ Quant Ⅱ and Elecsys HBsAg Ⅱ testing systems exhibited good linearity under certain conditions,with a ratio of approximately 1/0.18.In Elecsys HBsAg Ⅱ Quant Ⅱ detection sys-tem,the test results of HBsAg samples diluted 400 times were highly consistent with the original test results with a coefficient of deter-mination R2=0.993 8.Conclusion:There was a certain relationship between various detection systems of HBsAg at a suitable concen-tration.The detection of HBsAg by ELISA can meet the needs of clinical detection.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of 5th generation mobile communication technology(5G) remote robot-assisted cholecystectomy on postoperative recovery and quality of life in patients with gallstones.Methods:Clinical data of patients who underwent 5G remote robotic cholecystectomy(20 cases) vs traditional robotic cholecystectomy(20 cases) at Gansu Provincial People's Hospital from May to September 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Intraoperative and postoperative related indexes were compared between the two groups, and changes in pain analog scores before, 12 hours, and 24 hours after surgery, and global quality of life (GIQLI) scores before and 3 months after surgery were evaluated.Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of intraoperative and postoperative conditions (intraoperative blood loss, operative time, time to exhaustion, and length of hospital stay). Patients' pain analog scores at 12 and 24 hours postoperatively were lower than preoperatively, but the differences were not statistically significant( P>0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference in recovery indicators between the two groups compared to the control group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The postoperative recovery metrics of 5G tele-robotic-assisted cholecystectomy were consistent with the results of conventional robotic surgery.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Huangqin Tang (HQT) in regulating metabolic reprogramming during the inflammation-cancer transformation in colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). MethodsCAC mouse model was established using the carcinogen azoxymethane (AOM) combined with the inflammatory agent dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). HQT treatment was adopted. Serum metabolomics analysis was performed at three stages (inflammation, proliferation, and tumor formation) using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) untargeted metabolomics coupled with multivariate statistical analysis to explore the mechanism of HQT intervention in metabolism in CAC. ResultsThe results revealed that HQT significantly reversed the disturbance of key metabolites in CAC mice. A total of 52, 67, and 45 differential metabolites were identified in the model group, compared to the normal group, during inflammation, proliferation, and tumor stages, respectively. Lactate, linoleic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, and betaine were characteristic metabolites persistently enriched throughout colitis-cancer transformation. Pathway enrichment analysis of differential metabolites showed that linoleic acid metabolism and arachidonic acid metabolism were the most significantly disturbed in CAC pathogenesis. The proliferation stage featured expanded amino acid metabolic networks, while the tumor stage uniquely exhibited two new pathways of nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism and phosphoinositide metabolism. HQT exerted stage-specific regulatory effects: targeting arachidonic acid metabolism in the inflammation stage, correcting the dysregulation of choline-carnitine metabolism in the proliferation stage, and rescuing nicotinamide and tryptophan metabolic collapse in the tumor stage. ConclusionHQT exerts regulatory effects on metabolic disorders at various stages of the colitis-cancer transformation process, thereby effectively slowing the progression from colitis to cancer. The study also reveals the dynamic metabolic characteristics of colorectal "inflammation-cancer transformation,"providing new insights for research on the targeted mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in anti-tumor therapy based on metabolic reprogramming.

Objective To optimize the method of combining azomethane oxide(AOM)and dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)to create a colitis-associated colon cancer(CAC)model,and to explore the pathogenesis of the intestinal flora in CAC.Methods Model groups A and B were established by one and two injections of AOM,respectively,combined with free drinking of DSS,and a normal control group was injected intraperitoneally with normal saline combined with purified water(n=10 mice per group).The better modeling scheme was selected by comprehensive evaluation of the disease activity index score,colon length,tumor rate,and mortality.Serum levels of interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and tumor markers CA199,CEA,and CA724 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Colon lesions were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining.Changes in the intestinal microbiota in CAC mice were detected by 16S rDNA high-throughput gene sequencing analysis of mouse feces.Results Both single and enhanced AOM injections combined with DSS induced CAC mice;however,colon growths were larger,more closely arranged,and their morphological size was more consistent in group B compared with group A,with a tumor-formation rate of 100%.IL-6 levels were increased in the model group compared with the normal group(P<0.05).TNF-α levels were increased in the model group compared with the normal group(P>0.05).The CA199 and CEA levels were also significantly increased(P<0.05),but CA724 levels were not.Infiltration of inflammatory cells in the colon detected by HE pathology was accompanied by high-grade intraepithelial tumor-like changes on the surface of the lumen.The diversity and abundance of intestinal bacteria were decreased in CAC mice compared with normal mice:phyla Verrucomicrobiota and Actinobacteriota were significantly increased(P<0.05),Bacteroidota and Campilobacterota were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Akkermansia,Prevotellaceae,Ruminococcus,and Bifidobacterium were significantly increased(P<0.05),and Roseburia,Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group,Anaeroplasma,and Muribaculaceae were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Conclusions Two injections of AOM combined with 1.5%(1.5 g/100 mL)DSS induced CAC model mice with a high colon-tumorigenesis rate,uniform tumor morphology,and low mortality,and may thus be the preferred modeling scheme for pharmacodynamic experiments.Disorders or dysfunction of the intestinal flora may lead to increased permeability,loss of intestinal mucosal barrier function,and the release of enterogenic endotoxins,Resultsing in a sustained inflammatory response,as an indirect or direct cause of CAC pathogenesis.

ObjectiveTo construct a mouse model of inflammation-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) by using azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) and investigate the effect of Huangqintang on the gut microbiota structure of mice during the occurrence and development of CAC by 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing. MethodA total of 225 C57BL/6J mice were randomized into 5 groups (n=45): Normal, model, positive drug (mesalazine), and high (18 g·kg-1) and low (9 g·kg-1)-dose Huangqintang. Except those in the normal group, each mouse was injected with 10 mg·kg-1 AOM on day 1 and day 5 within 1 week and then given 1.5% DSS solution for 7 days, which was then changed to sterile water for 14 days. This process referred to as one cycle, and mice were treated for a total of 3 cycles. On the first day of DSS treatment, mice were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage, and the normal group and the model group were administrated with pure water by gavage, once a day until the end of the third cycle. The progression of CAC was divided into inflammation, proliferation, and tumorigenesis stages. At the end of each cycle, the body weight and colon length were measured for mice in each group, and the number of colon tumors in mice was recorded. Meanwhile, the disease activity index (DAI) was determined. The serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and carbohydrate antigen-199 (CA199), a tumor marker in the gastrointestinal tract of mice, were measured by ELISA. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was employed to observe colon lesions. At the same time, 3-5 pellets of fresh feces of mice in the normal group, model group, and high-dose Huangqintang group were collected, from which the fecal DNA of mice was extracted for 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed decreased body weight (P<0.01), increased DAI, and shortened colon length (P<0.05) at the three stages. Compared with the normal group, the model group showed elevated levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α (P<0.05) at the proliferation stage and elevated levels of CA199 at the inflammation, proliferation, and tumorigenesis (P<0.01) stages. Compared with the normal group, the model group presented obvious infiltration of inflammatory cells at the inflammation stage, thickening of the muscle layer and abnormal proliferation of mucosal layer cells at the proliferation and tumorigenesis stages, and final formation of advanced intraepithelial tumor lesions. Compared with the model group, the Huangqintang groups showed no significant improvement in the body weight, decreased DAI score, and increased colon length at the three stages, and the increase of colon length in the tumorigenesis stage was significant (P<0.01). At the tumorigenesis stage, the administration of Huangqintang inhibited tumor formation and growth, reduced the number of tumors (P<0.01), lowered the levels of IL-6 (P<0.05, P<0.01), TNF-α (P<0.05, P<0.01), and IL-1β at the three stages, and decreased CA199 at the inflammation stage as well as at the proliferation and tumorigenesis stages (P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the administration of Huangqintang reduced inflammation and abnormal cell proliferation, delaying the occurrence of tumors. Compared with the normal group, the model group showcased decreased alpha and beta diversity and altered structure of gut microbiota at the inflammation, proliferation, and tumorigenesis stages. The administration of Huangqintang adjusted the abundance and diversity of gut microbiota to the normal levels. At the inflammation stage, Huangqintang positively regulated two differential phyla (Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes) and three differential genera (Muribaculaceae, Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group, and Flavonifractor) in mice. At the proliferation stage, Huangqintang positively regulated two differential phyla (Bacteroidetes and Patescibacteria) and five differential genera (Muribaculaceae, Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group, Candidatus_Saccharimonas, norank_f__UCG-010, and Allobaculum). At the tumorigenesis stage, Huangqintang positively regulated two differential phyla (Proteobacteria and Patescibacteria) and eight differential genera (Muribaculaceae, Candidatus_Saccharimonas, norank_f_UCG-010, Lachnospiraceae_UCG-006, Allobaculum, Bacteroides, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, and Flavonifractor) in mice. ConclusionHuangqintang can intervene in the AOM/DSS-induced transformation of inflammation to CAC in mice by correcting inflammation and short-chain fatty acid-related microbiota disorders.
