This study aimed to investigate the effects of the peptide secreted protein isthmin-1 (ISM1) on the proliferation and apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. ISM1 expression in NSCLC was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). ISM1 was overexpressed in lung cancer cell lines by transient transfection of ISM1 plasmids, or establishing ISM1 overexpression stable cell lines, or by treating cells with recombined ISM1 (rISM1). CCK-8 was used to examine cell growth. The intracellular signal transduction pathways regulated by rISM1 were analyzed by transcriptome sequencing, and verified by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The levels of intracellular ROS and apoptosis were further detected using the kit. The results showed that the expression of ISM1 was decreased in human NSCLC tissue samples compared to normal lung tissue samples. Overexpression of ISM1 or rISM1 treatment significantly suppressed the growth of lung cancer cells. RNA sequencing revealed that rISM1 mainly regulated the FoxO signaling pathway. rISM1 treatment decreased the expression of FoxO3 and FoxO1, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and induced cell apoptosis. These results suggest that ISM1 can inhibit the growth of NSCLC by regulating the FoxO signaling pathway. These findings provide new strategies for cancer therapy.

ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanism of acupuncture with the method of soothing the liver and regulating the mind in improving depressive disorder. MethodsEighteen C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into blank group， model group， and acupuncture group， with 6 mice in each group. The model group and the acupuncture group were subjected to depression induction by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide （LPS）， while the blank group received an equal volume of normal saline once daily for seven consecutive days. Concurrently， the acupuncture group received "soothing the liver and regulating the mind" acupuncture intervention starting from the first day of modeling， once daily for 14 days； whereas the blank group and the model group were only restrained without acupuncture. The sucrose preference test was used to assess sucrose preference rate， the open-field test to measure center stay time and total travel distance， and the forced swim test to evaluate immobility time. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was performed to observe hippocampal morphological changes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in hippocampal tissue. Western blot analysis was conducted to examine the protein expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4） and nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） in the hippocampus. ResultsCompared to the blank group， the model group showed a significant reduction in sucrose preference rate， center stay time， and total travel distance， along with a significant increase in immobility time in the forced swim test， hippocampal IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α levels， as well as TLR4 and NF-κB protein expression （P＜0.01）， and the histological examination revealed blurred hippocampal neuronal boundaries， loose arrangement， and some neurons exhibiting nuclear pyknosis and deep staining. Compared to the model group， the acupuncture group demonstrated a significant increase in sucrose preference rate， center stay time， and total travel distance， along with a significant reduction in immobility time in the forced swim test， hippocampal IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α levels， and TLR4 and NF-κB protein expression （P＜0.01）， and the histological analysis showed that hippocampal neurons in the acupuncture group were more tightly arranged， with reduced nuclear pyknosis and deep staining. ConclusionAcupuncture with the "soothing the liver and regulating the mind" method can significantly improve depression-like behavior， potentially by inhibiting the hippocampal TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway and alleviating inflammatory responses.

Objective:To explore the CT manifestation characteristics of peripancreatic aneurysms related to pancreatitis (PRPA).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 15 patients with pancreatitis-related aneurysms collected in Deyang People's Hospital from June 2017 to February 2025. Among them, there were 11 males and 4 females, with an age of (56.5±16.9) years. Record the CT manifestations of the patients, and observe the PRPA tumor-carrying arteries, morphology, quantity, bleeding, calcification, dynamic changes, etc.Results:The CT results showed that there were a total of 26 PRPAs in 15 patients. The aneurysm walls of the PRPAs had no calcification, among which 12 cases were single and 1 case was double. Two cases were multiple. The patients were pancreatitis complicated with muscle fiber dysplasia. Among them, one case had 5 PRPAs and the other had 7 PRPAs. Of the 26 PRPAs, 12 were sac-like, 8 were beaded, 4 were fusiform, and 2 were columnar in shape. The numbers of aneurysm-carrying arteries and PRPA were as follows: 8 in the pancreaticoduodenal artery, 7 in the hepatic artery and its branches, 6 in the splenic artery and its branches, 2 in the left gastric artery, 1 in the gastroduodenal artery, 1 in the middle colonic artery, and 1 in the ileocolonic artery. The CT diagnosis report missed 16 PRPAs, with a missed diagnosis rate of 61.5% (16/26). Among the 11 ruptured PRPAs, 4 were missed, with a missed diagnosis rate of 36.4%. Three missed aneurysms were diagnosed by digital subtraction angiography, and one was retrospectively analyzed by CT. Among the 15 unruptured PRPAs, 12 were missed, with a missed diagnosis rate of 80.0%. All the missed aneurysms were detected by retrospective CT analysis. There were 2 images without re-examination and 24 images with re-examination. Among the PRPAs with re-examination images, 4 disappeared after interventional embolization on the same day, 1 relapsed after interventional embolization on the same day, with a reduction in volume and disappeared after 3 days. Three cases underwent elective interventional embolization, among which two shranked and one enlarged before interventional embolization. Among the 16 cases that did not receive interventional treatment, 7 disappeared on their own, 1 was completely liquefied, 5 shrank but did not disappear, 2 remained stable in size without any change, and 1 increased. Among the re-examined PRPA images, 7 showed signs of enlargement.Conclusion:The main characteristics of PRPA are high rupture rate, prone to missed diagnosis and dynamic changes in size.

Objective To explore the application value of a novel portable endoscope to perform upper gastrointestinal tract examinations in primary medical units.Methods A total of 532 subjects receiving portable endoscope examination were enrolled for analysis.The primary outcome was the success rate of operation.The secondary outcomes were the operation time,examination results,polyp removal and biopsy pathology results,and the subjective evaluation.Results In 532 cases,2 were withdrawn midway after the endoscope was inserted into the esophagus due to the patients'inability to tolerate the examination.Additionally,6 cases did not undergo examination of the descending part of the duodenum because of serious reactions during the procedure.Ultimately,524 cases successfully completed the upper gastrointestinal examination,and the success rate was 98.5％.The average examination time was(4.7±1.8)min,and the average time for disposal sheath wearing and removing was(4.2±1.4)min.The most common lesions were chronic non-atrophic gastritis(85.1％,451/530),reflux esophagitis(14.7％,78/530)and bile reflux(14.0％,74/530).A total of 10 cases of polyp removal were completed,and the polyp removal rate was 71.4％(10/14).Biopsy pathological diagnosis was completed in 44 cases,and the biopsy rate was 8.3％(44/530).The main discomfort symptoms during the examination were nausea(53.6％,285/532),vomiting(51.1％,272/532),and sore throat(38.5％,205/532),the main discomfort symptoms after the examination were sore throat(27.8％,148/532),nausea(19.5％,104/532),and vomiting(14.7％,78/532).No serious adverse events such as gastrointestinal bleeding,perforation,cardiac or pulmonary complications occurred.Conclusion The novel portable endoscope can safely and effectively complete the diagnosis and treatment of upper gastrointestinal diseases in primary medical units,while saving the decontamination process.However,the incidence of discomfort is high during examinations.Further optimization of the operation methods is needed.

Objective To explore the efficacy of a compound nutrition preparation on wound healing after acute trauma and investigate the underlying mechanism primarily.Methods After skin wound model was successfully constructed on totally 60 male SD rats surgically,they were randomly divided into control group(CON group),whey protein group(WP group)and low-and high-dose nutritional formula groups(LDF and HDF groups),with 15 animals in per group.From the next day after surgery,the rats in each group were given corresponding nutritional interventions for 2 weeks.During the intervention,the wound conditions were observed and recorded,and the wound area was measured.The samples were collected on the 3rd,7th and 14th days after surgery,respectively.Serum albumin(ALB),prealbumin(PA),total protein(TP),inflammatory factors(TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6 and IL-10),immunoglobulins(IgA,IgG and IgM)and hydroxyproline(Hyp)were detected by the corresponding reagent kits.The histopathologic changes of wound were observed with HE staining.Masson staining was used to observe the collagen fiber deposition in wound tissue.The angiogenesis of wound tissue was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining.Results Compared with the CON group,the wound healing speed,collagen synthesis and angiogenesis speed were significantly accelerated in the WP group,LDF group and HDF group(P＜0.05),and the effects were the most obvious in the HDF group.On the 3rd day after surgery,in the WP,LDF and HDF groups,the serum ALB,PA and TP levels were significantly increased(P＜0.05),serum TNF-α and IL-1β levels were obviously decreased(P＜0.05),and serum IL-10 level was notably increased(except WP group)when compared with the CON group.The serum IgG and IgM levels were significantly increased in the LDF group and HDF group(P＜0.05)and significant increment of IgA was only observed in the HDF group(P＜0.05).On the 7th day after modeling,the levels of ALB,PA and TP were significantly increased(P＜0.05),the levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 were obviously decreased(P＜0.05),and the levels of IL-10 were remarkably increased(P＜0.05)in the HDF group than the CON group;The LDF group and HDF group had significantly elevated serum IgG and IgM levels(P＜0.05),but only the former group had statistically increased serum IgA level(P＜0.05).On the 14th day after modeling,the HDF group had significantly increased levels of ALB and TP(P＜0.05),decreased levels of IL-1β(P＜0.05),and raised levels of IgG and IgM when compared with the CON group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Our compound nutrition preparation promotes wound healing in rat model of acute trauma,which might be related to its improving the nutritional status,promoting collagen synthesis,and thus alleviating inflammatory response and enhancing immune function.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) combined with limb rehabilitation therapy in improving limb function of patients with hemiplegia due to stroke.Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted on 110 patients with hemiplegia due to stroke admitted to the 987 Hospital of the PLA Joint Logistic Support Force from January 2021 to January 2023. These patients were divided into a control group and an observation group, with 55 cases each, using a random number table method. The control group received conventional rehabilitation therapy, while the observation group received NMES combined with limb rehabilitation therapy. All patients were treated for 3 months. The Trunk Impairment Scale, Brunnstrom Motor Function Scale, Surface Electromyography, Brunel Balance Scale, Simple Gait Test Scale, and Modified Ashworth Scale were used to evaluate trunk control function, limb control function, neuromuscular disorders, balance control function (forward-backward inclination angle, left-right inclination angle), gait temporal-spatial parameters, symmetry parameters, and muscle tone recovery in both groups before and after treatment.Results:After treatment, the Total Impairment Scale and Brunnstrom scores for upper and lower limbs in the observation group were higher than those in the control group [(18.31 ± 1.61) vs. (14.38 ± 1.42), (3.78 ± 0.41) vs. (3.01 ± 0.63), (3.75 ± 0.42) vs. (3.28 ± 0.63), t = 13.58, 7.60, 4.60, all P < 0.05]. Additionally, the scores for tibialis anterior, fibularis brevis, fibularis longus, medial gastrocnemius, lateral gastrocnemius muscle control were higher in the observation group compared with the control group. The scores for Berg Balance Scale, forward-backward inclination angle, left-right inclination angle, step frequency, step length, step speed, and step width in the observation group were also superior to those in the control group. All differences were statistically significant ( t = 17.88, 20.15, 24.62, 19.53, 22.80, 3.31, 8.66, 7.88, 6.08, 4.21, 7.43, 3.35, all P < 0.05). Furthermore, the deviations in step length, the ratio of support on the affected side to the unaffected side, and the ratio of swing on the affected side to the unaffected side in the observation group were lower than those in the control group [(3.53 ± 2.55) vs. (5.35 ± 3.21), (1.11 ± 0.04) vs. (1.14 ± 0.03), (1.10 ± 0.06) vs. (1.24 ± 0.09), t = 3.29, 4.45, 9.60, all P < 0.05]. Additionally, the level of muscle tone recovery in the observation group was higher than that in the control group ( Z = 2.53, P = 0.011). Conclusions:In the treatment of hemiplegia due to stroke, NMES combined with limb rehabilitation therapy can effectively improve patients' trunk and limb control, enhance balance function, and greatly promote muscle strength recovery.

Objective:To investigate the effects of apical periodontitis of mandibular primary molars on the development of mandibu-lar permanent premolars in children in Guangzhou.Methods:335 children aged 4-9 years with apical periodontitis of mandibular pri-molar at one side and normal healthy homologous tooth at another side were included and divided into 2 groups:Group A(n=200)in-cluded the first mandibular premolars and group B(n=135)included the second mandibular premolars.Subgroup A1 and B1 were the apical periodontitis groups,subgroup A2 and B2 were the normal healthy groups.The degree of root destruction of primary teeth,the degree of destruction and development of the dental follicle of permanent teeth,the mesial and distal direction changes,and the eruption height were observed and measured on the panoramic raidiographs,data were statistically analyzed.Results:In the 7-year-old children of A1 and the 6-year-old of B1 groups,the development degree of successor permanent teeth was lower than that of group A2 and group B2 of the same age children respectively(P＜0.05).In the 6-7-year-old children of group A1,the permanent teeth development of boys was slower than that of the girls(P＜0.05).There was no gender difference in dental follicle destruction and malposition of the perma-nent teeth in both A1 and B1 groups(P＞0.05).The proportion of malposition of the successor permanent teeth in group A1 increased with the primary teeth damage degree increace(P＜0.05),while the proportion of malposition of the successor permanent teeth in group B1 showed no significant difference(P＞0.05).Positive correlation between the damage degree of primary teeth and dental follicle of per-manent teeth was observed(rA1=0.41,rB1=0.21,P＜0.05).In boys aged 7-8 years,the succesor permanent teeth eruption in group A1 was higher than that in group A2(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference between group B1 and group B2(P＞0.05).Conclusion:In the later stages of root stabilization of primary molars,periapical inflammation of primary teeth may cause developmen-tal delay of the succesor permanent teeth,and the delay degree is higher in boys than in girls.With the deterioration of the periapical tissue of primary teeth,the destruction of the dental follicle of permanent teeth may deepen,and the mandibular first premolar is more likely to have abnormal eruption.
