This study was aimed at exploring novel auxiliary diagnostic biomarkers for brucellosis and their potential miR-NA-mRNA regulatory networks.High-throughput sequencing was used to compare miRNA expression differences in serum ex-osomes between patients with brucellosis and healthy controls.Subsequently,RT-qPCR was used to validate the expression of significantly upregulated exosomal miRNAs.The diagnostic value of these miRNAs was assessed with ROC curves,and bioin-formatics analyses were performed to investigate the potential roles of the miRNAs in brucellosis infection.The ROC curve a-nalysis indicated that the area under the curve for exosomal hsa-miR-11400(P＜0.05),hsa-miR-199a-5p(P＜0.05),and hsa-miR-148a-5p(P＜0.05)was 0.79,0.81,and 0.74,respectively.A total of 465 differentially expressed miRNAs and their tar-get genes were predicted,including 25 immune-related target genes,most of which were closely associated with cancer-related proteoglycans,NF-kappa B signaling pathways,and IL-17 signaling pathways.The constructed differentially expressed gene network indicated that the immune genes PLXNA2,IL17RA,PRKCA,CD22,ACVR1B,and CBL might be regulated by hsa-miR-199a-5p and hsa-miR-148a-5p.These findings suggest that exosomal miRNAs might serve as auxiliary diagnostic indicators for brucellosis.Our exosomal miRNA-mRNA regulatory network provides new insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of brucellosis.

Objective:To investigate the effects of 3 D laparoscopic radical resection prostatectomy(LRP)on urinary control and sexual function of patients with prostatic cancer.Methods:A total of 268 patients who were treated with LRP in the Fifth People's Hospital of Huai an City from January 2019 to May 2022 were selected and divided into 2 groups according to surgical methods,with 134 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were treated with traditional LRP,and the 3D LRP was used in the observa-tion group.The clinical effects of the two groups were compared.Results:The patients in observation group had less blood loss([135.62±13.58]mL vs[143.18±14.89]mL)and shorter indwelling catheter time([8.26±1.47]d vs[9.78±1.73]d)compared with control group,but the operation time([160.52±10.78]min vs[154.47±10.41]min)was longer than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The recovery of sexual function and urinary control in the observation group was better than that in the con-trol group after 3,6 and 12 months of the surgery(P＜0.05).After one month of surgery,the scores of ICIQ-SF and 1 h urine pad test were lower than those of the control group.The EPIC-UIN score([72.63±6.85]points vs[67.15±5.09]points)of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).The patients in the observation group had lower level of residual urine volume([60.26±6.63]mL vs[76.89±7.89]mL),higher maximum urine flow rate([7.52±0.46]mL/s vs[6.17±0.43]mL/s)and detrusor pressure([85.19±7.18]mL vs[76.29±6.85]mL)at maximum urine flow rate compared with the control group(P＜0.05).There was no difference in the incidence of complications between the observation group and the control group(5.97％vs 8.27％,P＞0.05).The recurrence rate of tumor 3 years after operation in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(11.94％vs 29.10％,x2=12.102,P＜0.05).Conclusion:3D LRP has obvious advantages in surgical clarity and preci-sion,which reduces the risk of postoperative complications and improves urinary control ability and sexual function of patients.

Objective:This study aimed to validated the diagnostic accuracy of Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition(GLIM)criteria for malnutrition in pancreatic cancer patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy and to evaluated its prognostic value for postoperative outcome.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 230 consecutive pancreatic cancer patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at the Department of Pancreatobiliary Surgery,Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center,between January 2018 to January 2024.Patients were stratified into malnutrition group and non-malnutrition group using Nutritional Risk Screening 2002(NRS 2002)and GLIM criteria.Multivariable logistic regression identified independent risk factors for postoperative morbidity.Results:GLIM criteria identified malnutrition in 96 patients(41.7％).Compared with the non-malnourished group,the number of preoperative nutritional support(t=20.038,P<0.001),the number of preoperative enteral nutrition support(t=8.377,P=0.004),the number of preoperative parenteral nutrition support(t=22.302,P<0.001),the number of anemia(t=8.037,P=0.005)and preoperative parenteral nutrition use days(t=-2.898,P=0.009),the difference was statistically significant.There were statistically significant differences in C-reactive protein(t=10.944,P=0.008),NLR(t=-2.523,P=0.012)and PNI(t=-2.397,P=0.017)between the two groups before surgery.Preoperative BMI(t=-4.410,P<0.001)was significantly lower in the malnourished group.The number of postoperative parenteral nutrition days(Z=-2.283,P=0.022)and amino acid supplementation during postoperative hospitalization were significantly higher in the malnourished group(Z=-2.309,P=0.021).The incidence of malnutrition was higher in patients with Clavien-Dindo grade≥Ⅲ(P=0.030)and intra-abdominal infections(P=0.049).Multivariable analysis identified preoperative weight loss(OR=2.154,95％CI:1.158～4.005;P=0.015)and BMI reduction(OR=0.175,95％CI:0.040～0.775;P=0.022)as independent predictors of postoperative complications.Conclusions:The GLIM standard effectively characterize malnutrition status in pancreatic cancer patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy patients and demonstrate superior predictive performance for postoperative morbidity.It has good predictive performance and clinical application value.

Objective:To evaluate the value of spectral CT quantitative parameters in predicting microvascular invasion (MVI) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:A total of 100 HCC patients who underwent surgical resection and were pathologically diagnosed in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Xiangya Medical College of Central South University from January 2020 to January 2023 were retrospectively enrolled. According to pathological grading, the patients were divided into the microvascular invasion group (invasion group, n=60) and the non-vascular invasion group (non-invasion group, n=40). Serological indicators and spectral CT quantitative parameters were compared between the two groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the value of spectral CT quantitative parameters in predicting MVI of HCC. Results:The serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level in the invasion group was higher than that in the non-invasion group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA-199) levels between the two groups (all P>0.05). In the invasion group, arterial phase iodine concentration, arterial phase normalized iodine concentration, venous phase iodine uptake reduction rate, arterial phase effective atomic number, and energy spectrum curve slope were all higher than those in the non-invasion group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05); there were no statistically significant differences in venous phase iodine concentration, venous phase normalized iodine concentration, and venous phase effective atomic number between the two groups (all P>0.05). The rates of peritumoral enhancement in the arterial phase and irregular tumor margin in the invasion group were higher than those in the non-invasion group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05); there was no statistically significant difference in tumor capsule between the two groups ( P>0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve (AUC) of arterial phase iodine concentration, arterial phase normalized iodine concentration, venous phase iodine uptake reduction rate, arterial phase effective atomic number, and energy spectrum curve slope for predicting MVI in HCC were 0.812, 0.885, 0.726, 0.823, and 0.788, respectively. Conclusions:Spectral CT quantitative parameters are helpful to improve the preoperative diagnostic efficiency of MVI in HCC and can effectively predict MVI in HCC. Especially, arterial phase normalized iodine concentration has high application value in judging whether there is MVI in HCC.
