Objective To evaluate the impact of an integrated management mode of prenatal diagnosis-postnatal treatment for congenital heart disease (CHD) on perioperative and long-term outcomes of the arterial switch operation (ASO), and to analyze the efficacy of ASO in a single center. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the clinical data of 183 children who underwent ASO at Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital from 2018 to 2024. The cohort included 106 (57.9%) patients of transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum (TGA/IVS), 61 (33.3%) patients of transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect (TGA/VSD), and 16 (8.7%) patients of Taussig-bing anomaly (TBA). Perioperative indicators were compared between 91 patients in the prenatal-postnatal integrated management group (an integrated group) and 92 patients in the traditional management group (a non-integrated group). Long-term survival and reoperation rates were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves. Results The overall perioperative mortality rate was 4.9% (9/183), showing a downward trend year by year. The primary cause of perioperative mortality was low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS), which occurred in 12 patients (6.6% incidence) with a mortality rate of 75.0%. The integrated group had a higher proportion of males (89.0% vs. 72.8%, P<0.05) and lower body weight [3.1 (2.7, 3.3) kg vs. 3.3 (3.0, 3.7) kg, P<0.05] compared to the non-integrated group. The age at surgery was significantly earlier in the integrated group [7 (3, 10) d vs. 14 (9, 48) d, P<0.05], and all children in the integrated group underwent ASO within the optimal surgical window (100.0% vs. 82.6%, P<0.05). Intraoperatively, cardiopulmonary bypass time [173 (150, 207) min vs. 186 (159, 237) min, P<0.05] and aortic cross-clamp time [100 (90, 117) min vs. 116 (97, 142) min, P<0.05] were significantly shorter in the integrated group. Although the integrated group had longer postoperative mechanical ventilation time [145 (98, 214) h vs. 116 (77, 147) h, P<0.05] and higher 48-hour maximum vasoactive inotropic score [15 (10, 21) points vs. 12 (8, 16) points, P<0.05], there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of severe complications (LCOS, necrotizing enterocolitis, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) or mortality rate (3.3% vs. 6.5%, P=0.51) between the two groups, despite earlier surgical intervention and a higher proportion of critically ill cases in the integrated group. The length of hospital stay in the emergency surgery group was significantly shorter than that in the elective surgery group [20 (15, 28) d vs. 25 (21, 30) d, P<0.05], suggesting that early surgery may be of potential benefit. A total of 163 patients were successfully followed up for a median of 4.7 years, with a 5-year survival rate of 95.1% and a freedom from reintervention survival rate of 95.1%. There were no late deaths, and the most common postoperative complication was pulmonary artery stenosis. Conclusion The integrated management model allowed critically ill children with lower body weights to safely undergo surgery, significantly optimizing the timing of surgery and shortening intraoperative times. The long-term risk of reoperation after ASO is primarily concentrated on pulmonary artery stenosis, necessitating long-term follow-up and monitoring.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate and evaluate the staged efficacy and safety of the representative empirical prescription of the “Zhu Ke Jiao” theory， Qijia Rougan prescription， combined with entecavir in the treatment of hepatic fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B. MethodsA multicenter randomized controlled clinical study was conducted， and 101 patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B-related hepatic fibrosis （CHB-HF） who met the diagnosis and inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to an observation group （Qijia Rougan prescription + entecavir） and a control group （entecavir）. The treatment duration was 24 weeks. Liver stiffness measurement （LSM）， fibrosis-4 index （FIB-4）， portal vein diameter， hepatitis B serology， biochemical indicators， hepatic fibrosis markers in serum ［hyaluronic acid （HA）， laminin （LN）， procollagen Ⅲ peptide （PⅢP）， and type Ⅳ collagen （Ⅳ-C）］， and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores were used as efficacy evaluation indicators. Efficacy assessments and explorations of different staged subgroups of Qijia Rougan prescription were conducted according to LSM values based on the Metavir pathological staging standard. ResultsA total of 98 cases were included for statistical analysis， with 49 cases in the observation group and 49 in the control group. The general data of the patients in both groups were comparable. Compared with the same group before treatment， the observation group showed a significant reduction in LSM and FIB-4 （P<0.01）， as well as notable improvements in LN， Ⅳ-C， and various TCM syndrome scores （P<0.05， P<0.01）. When compared to the control group after treatment， the observation group demonstrated significant improvements in LSM， FIB-4， and various TCM syndrome score indicators （P<0.05， P<0.01）， indicating that the observation group performed better than the control group. Subgroup analysis of the regression of hepatic fibrosis stages showed that compared to the same group before treatment， the observation group had better improvement in regression of stages F2 and F3 （P<0.05）. When compared to the control group after treatment， the observation group exhibited superior improvement in regression of stage F3 （P<0.05）. No adverse events occurred in either group during the treatment period. ConclusionCompared with entecavir alone， the combination of Qijia Rougan prescription and entecavir significantly improves the degree of hepatic fibrosis and clinical TCM symptoms in patients. The optimal intervention period is primarily during stage F3， which is a potential “interception” point of the “Zhu Ke Jiao” theory.

Objective Based on the interventional operating room,the nursing quality evaluation index system was con-structed under the background of medical union and empirical analysis was conducted,so as to provide support and basis for accu-rate and efficient evaluation of nursing quality in interventional operating room.Methods From July to September 2024,based on evidence-based methods,the relevant literature was retrieved and evaluated,and the structure-process-outcome theory was taken as the basic framework,and the relevant nursing quality indicators were preliminarily drawn up in interventional operating rooms.In October 2024,a total of 28 experts were selected to conduct expert letter consultation(2 rounds)with Delphi method,from which the indicators were revised and finally clarified,and empirical analysis was carried out.Results There were two rounds of expert consultation in this paper.The questionnaire recovery rate of the first round was 85.71％(24/28).The Cs,Ca and Cr of the first round were 0.895,0.942 and 0.919,respectively.The recovery rate of the second round questionnaire,Cs,Ca and Cr of the experts were 100.00％(24/24),0.891,0.941 and 0.916,respectively,and Kendall's W value was within 0.088-0.301(P＜0.05).The final nursing quality sensitive index system consists of 1 structure,5 process and 2 outcome inde-xes,respectively.Fifty patients undergoing interventional surgery were included before and after intervention.Empirical analysis showed that the incidence of adverse events after intervention(4.00％)was lower than that before intervention(16.00％)(P＜0.05).Conclusion The sensitive index of nursing quality based on the background of medical union is practical and scientific,and can provide practical guidance for the evaluation,continuous improvement and optimization of nursing quality in interventional operating room,and reduce the incidence of adverse events.

Objective To observe the effects of LINC01915 on the proliferation,migration and invasion of human colorectal cancer cells,and to explore its possible regulatory mechanism.Methods The colorectal cancer cell lines of SW620,SW480,LOVO,HCT116 and the normal colorectal cell line of NCM460 were selected,and the expression of LINC01915 was detected by RT-qPCR.HCT116 cell line with the highest expression of LINC01915 was taken and divided into the upregulation group,the downregulation group,the upregulation control group,the downregulation control group and the blank group.The transfection efficiency of each group was detected by fluorescence microscope;RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of LINC01915 in each group;methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay was used to detect the proliferative activity in each group;scratch wound healing assay and Transwell assay were used to detect the migration and invasion activities in each group;RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR-92a-3p and mRNA expression of large tumor suppressor homolog 2(LATS2),transcription factor 21(TCF21)and Kruppel like factor 4(KLF4);and Western blot was used to detect the expression of LATS2,TCF21,and KLF4 proteins.Dual-fluorescein reporter assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between LINC01915 and miR-92a-3p.Results The expression of LINC01915 in various human colorectal cancer cell lines were lower than that in the NCM460 cell(P<0.05),and the highest LINC01915 expression in human colorectal cancer cell lines was observed in HCT116(P<0.05).The transfection efficiency of cells in each transfection group was high.Compared with the blank group and the upregulation control group,the expression of LINC01915,and mRNA and protein expression of LATS2,TCF21,and KLF4 in the upregulation group increased(P<0.05),and the A value,scratch healing rate,number of invasive cells and miR-92a-3p expression decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the blank group and the downregulation control group,the expression of LINC01915,and mRNA and protein expression of LATS2,TCF21,and KLF4 in the downregulation group decreased(P<0.05),and the A value,scratch healing rate,number of invasive cells and miR-92a-3p expression increased(P<0.05).LINC01915 had binding sites with miR-92a-3p,and compared with the miR-NC group,the miR-92a-3p mimics group showed a decrease in the luciferase activity of WT-LINC01915(P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of LINC01915 in the human colorectal cancer cell lines decreases,and upregulation of LINC01915 expression can inhibit cell proliferation,migration,and invasion,which may be related to the up-regulation of the expression of LATS2,TCF21 and KLF4 by inhibiting miR-92a-3p.

Aim To infer novel therapeutic and phar-macological targets related to lung cancer treatment through multiomics approaches,so as to provide new directions for developing more personalized and effec-tive treatment strategies.Methods Genome-wide as-sociation study(GWAS)data analysis,pan-cancer,single-cell,transcriptomics,and protein-protein interac-tion analysis were employed in this study.Results We analyzed biomarkers and therapeutic targets associ-ated with lung cancer.The study identified key bio-markers closely related to lung cancer progression and explored the interrelationships between these biomark-ers and viral infections.According to KEGG pathway annotation,the number of genes related to metabolic processes increased significantly.In particular,metab-olites such as alanine and isoleucine emerged as pivotal factors in therapeutic interventions.The IgD+CD24+and IgD+CD24-B cell subsets were identified as cen-tral elements in immune evasion and treatment re-sponse.Concurrently,the Lachnospiraceae and Prevo-tella were shown to modulate host immune responses and the tumor microenvironment by regulating short-chain fatty acid levels,thereby opening novel avenues for cancer research.Conclusions Through mul-tiomics analysis combined with transcriptomics and pro-teomics analysis,we identify several potential therapeu-tic targets for lung cancer,providing key insights for developing novel treatment strategies.
