Objective : To analyze the influencing factors associated with the coexistence of multidrug-resistantEscherichia coli(MDR-ECO) infection and active tuberculosis(ATB) in patients with lung infections. Methods: A total of 204 hospitalized patients with lung infections caused by MDR-ECO were enrolled. Among them, patients with coexisting ATB were identified and assigned to the observation group. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were performed to identify the risk factors for the coexistence of MDR-ECO lung infection and ATB. Results : Factors such as patient age, neutrophil count, hemoglobin level, malignancy, rheumatoid arthritis, history of antibiotic exposure, and history of surgery within the past year were found to be influencing factors for the coexistence of MDR-ECO lung infection and ATB(allP<0.05). Specifically, advanced age(95%CI: 0.949-0.992,P=0.008), decreased neutrophils(95%CI: 0.750-0.922,P<0.001), and a history of antibiotic exposure(95%CI: 1.202-2.596,P=0.004) were identified as risk factors. Conclusion Some patients with MDR-ECO lung infections are prone to coexisting with ATB. Therefore, it is recommended to strengthen ATB screening among high-risk patients, including those at peak ages for susceptibility, with low neutrophil counts, and with a history of antibiotic exposure.

BACKGROUND:The effective promotion of internal angiogenesis in organoids is a current focal issue in organoid culture.Vascularized organoids,as a newly developed bioculture technology,have significant research and application value in the study of living tissue development,disease formation mechanisms,tissue replacement therapy,and drug screening.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the methods or strategies for vascularization of organoids in recent years,analyze the formation mechanism of vascularization of organoids and the construction strategies,with a view to providing reliable ideas for more in-depth study of the mechanism of organoid genesis and for clinical translation.METHODS:The authors utilized the PubMed and CNKI databases for related formation collection.The keywords were "organoids,vascularization,vascular,vascular development,vessel" in Chinese and English.Finally,77 papers were included for summarization.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The mechanism of vascularization formation in organoid organs involves three key factors,namely seed cells,cytokines,and extracellular matrix.Seed cells provide the essential cell source for vascularized organoids;cytokines play an important role in guiding angiogenesis within organoids,and the extracellular matrix provides an external growth environment for vascular cells,promoting the occurrence of vascularized organoids.(2) The construction strategies of vascularized organoids include cell self-reorganization,microvascular fragment infiltration,transplantation into host,and microfluidic chip.In vitro induction of pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into endothelial progenitor cells can integrate with adjacent tissues and have the potential for angiogenesis,so pluripotent stem cells can be used to construct vascularized organoids by self-reorganization.Microvascular fragments retain their cellular complexity,natural structure,and phenotypic plasticity,which is more conducive to simulating natural microvessels and promoting vascularization of organoids.Transplantation into host is currently the best method to achieve complete blood perfusion in organoids,while microfluidic chip provides a solution for achieving extracorporeal blood supply in organoids.(3) Multiple construction strategies of organoid such as co-differentiation of multiple stem cell types,precise regulation of signaling molecules,microvascular infiltration,and in vivo host transplantation,have introduced vascular components into organoids to some extent,making them closer to the corresponding tissues in terms of function and maturity.However,the challenge of achieving perfusion remains,and so far,only in vivo transplantation in hosts has enabled effective perfusion in organoids.Therefore,organoids still face numerous challenges in terms of vascularization.

Objective:To investigate the impacts of nuclear receptor-interacting protein 1(NRIP1)on sepsis-evoked intesti-nal epithelial injury via transcriptional regulation of high mobility group box 1(HMGB1).Methods:The expression levels of NRIP1 and HMGB1 were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.The pathological changes of intestinal tissue were detected by HE staining.CCK-8 assay determined the optimal treatment time of LPS.Caco-2 cells were transfected with NRIP1 small interfering RNA(siRNA-NRIP1-1/2),and cell viability and apoptosis were detected by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry,respectively.RT-qPCR and Western blot examined the expressions of inflammation-associated factors.Transepithelial resistance(TEER)was used to detect intestinal epi-thelial permeability.Western blot was used to detect the expressions of apoptosis and tight-junction related proteins.The binding rela-tionship between NRIP1 and HMGB1 was verified by luciferase reporting assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay(ChIP).After knocking down NRIP1 and overexpressing HMGB1 in LPS-treated Caco-2 cells,the functional experiment was performed again.Results:NRIP1 expression was fortified in the intestinal tissues of sepsis rats and LPS-treated Caco-2 cells.Interference with NRIP1 attenuated LPS-elicited Caco-2 cell viability injury,apoptosis,inflammatory response and barrier damage.Additionally,NRIP1 might activate HMGB1 expression at transcriptional level and HMGB1 elevation might reverse the impacts of NRIP1 absence on Caco-2 cell viability,apoptosis,inflammatory response as well as barrier function.Conclusion:NRIP1 may promote sepsis-elicited intestinal epi-thelial injury,which may be related to transcriptional activation of HMGB1.

Hip fracture in the elderly is characterized by high incidence, high disability rate, and high mortality and has been recognized as a public health issue threatening their health. Surgery is the preferred choice for the treatment of elderly patients with hip fracture. However, lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has an extremely high incidence rate during the perioperative period, and may significantly increase the risk of patients′ death once it progresses to pulmonary embolism. In response to this issue, the clinical guidelines and expert consensuses all emphasize active application of comprehensive preventive measures, including basic prevention, physical prevention, and pharmacological prevention. In this prevention system, basic prevention is the basis of physical and pharmacological prevention. However,there is a lack of unified and definite recommendations for basic preventive measures in clinical practice. To this end, the Orthopedic Nursing Professional Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association and Nursing Department of the Orthopedic Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care organized relevant nursing experts to formulate Expert consensus on perioperative basic prevention for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2024) . A total of 10 recommendations were proposed, aiming to standardize the basic preventive measures for lower extremity DVT in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period and promote their subsequent rehabilitation.

AIM:To observe the effect of folic acid(FA)on C2C12 myoblast proliferation and differentia-tion,and to explore its mechanism.METHODS:During the proliferation stage,C2C12 myoblasts were treated with vari-ous concentrations of FA(0,2.5,5,10 and 20 μmol/L).The cell status was observed under a microscope,cell viability was detected using the MTT method,and cell proliferation was assessed using the EdU method.In the differentiation stage,C2C12 cells were divided into control(Ctrl)group(0 μmol/L FA)and FA group(10 μmol/L FA).On day 2 or 4 of differentiation,immunofluorescence staining and Western blot were employed to detect the expression of myoblast differen-tiation-related proteins,myoblast determination protein 1(MyoD),myogenin(MyoG)and myosin heavy chain(MyHC).The myotubule formation in each group was analyzed.On day 4 of differentiation,C2C12 cells were treated with FA for 0,1,3 and 6 h,and the protein levels of p-JNK,JNK,p-p38 MAPK and p38 MAPK at each time point were detected by Western blot.Additionally,C2C12 cells after 4-day differentiation were divided into Ctrl group,FA group,FA+ SP600125(specific inhibitor of JNK)group,and FA+SB203580(specific inhibitor of p38)group.The cells in FA+ SP600125 and FA+SB203580 groups were treated with 10 μmol/L SP600125 or SB203580 for 1 h,followed by treatment with 10 μmol/L FA for 24 h.The cells in FA group were treated with 10 μmol/L FA for 24 h,while the cells in Ctrl group were left untreated.The protein levels of p-JNK,JNK,p-p38 MAPK,p38 MAPK and MyHC were detected by Western blot.RESULTS:(1)Compared with 0 μmol/L FA group,the number of the cells in other concentration groups in-creased,cell viability was raised(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and the rate of EdU positive cells increased(P＜0.05).(2)Com-pared with Ctrl group,the expression levels of MyoD,MyoG and MyHC in FA group were increased(P＜0.05),and the myotube fusion index was raised(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(3)Compared with 0 h group,the ratios of p-JNK/JNK and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK were elevated after FA treatment for 1,3 and 6 h(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and showed a trend of gradual increase with the extension of treatment time.(4)After FA treatment,the ratios of p-JNK/JNK and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK,and the expression of MyHC were elevated(P＜0.01).Treatment with SP600125 decreased the ratio of p-JNK/JNK and the expression of MyHC(P＜0.05),while SB203580 intervention cut down the ratio of p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK and the expression of MyHC(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).CONCLUSION:Folic acid can promote the differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts by activating the JNK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective To compare the efficacy of MRI-transrectal ultrasound(TRUS)software fusion-guided biopsy and cognitive fusion-guided biopsy for detecting prostate cancer(PC).Methods Data of 120 patients with suspected PC(127 lesions)who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy with 2-3 times of target biopsy(TB)and 10 times of system biopsy were retrospectively analyzed.According to TB guidance methods,73 cases(78 lesions)received MRI-TRUS software fusion-guided biopsy were classified into group A,and 47 cases(49 lesions)received cognitive fusion-guided biopsy were classified into group B.The positive rate of PC,clinic significant PC(csPC)and PC in different sized lesions by TB were compared between groups,and the positive rate of PC between 2 or 3 times TB was also compared within each group.Results The positive rate of PC and csPC detected by TB was 55.13%(43/78)and 39.74%(31/78)in group A,53.06%(26/49)and 34.69%(17/49)in group B,respectively,no significant difference was found(all P＞0.05).The positive rate of PC in lesions with the maximum diameter≤10 mm detected by TB in group A was higher than that in group B(P＜0.05),but no significant difference of lesions with the maximum diameter＞10 mm and＜15 mm nor≥15 mm was found between groups(all P＞0.05).No significant difference of positive rate of PC was found between 2 and 3 times TB in group A(P＞0.05),while positive rate of PC of 3 times TB was significantly higher than that of 2 times TB in group B(P＜0.05).Conclusion MRI-TRUS software fusion-guided biopsy had positive rate of PC and csPC similar to that of cognitive fusion-guided biopsy,but was helpful for reducing times of TB and increasing detecting rate for lesions with the maximum diameter≤10 mm.
