Objective To investigate the feasibility, safety, and clinical value of endoscopic-assisted skin-sparing mastectomy combined with immediate implant-based breast reconstruction performed as day surgery for breast cancer, aiming to provide a reference for major hospitals seeking to implement a day surgery model for breast cancer treatment. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the patients who underwent endoscopic-assisted skin-sparing mastectomy combined with immediate implant-based breast reconstruction for breast cancer at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from June 2021 to December 2022, and they were divided into a day surgery group and a conventional inpatient group based on their admission model. The operative indicators, Breast-Q scores, preoperative waiting time, length of hospital stay, hospitalization costs and complications of the two groups were analyzed. Results Except for intraoperative bleeding (P=0.007), the difference between the two groups in comparison of the rest of the operative indicators was not statistically significant (all P>0.05); there was no significant difference between the two groups in preoperative and postoperative Breast-Q scores (all P>0.05); the preoperative waiting time and length of stay in hospital of the day surgery group were 4.0 (3.0, 11.0) days and 1.0 (1.0, 1.0) days, respectively, which were significantly shorter than that of the conventional inpatient group; the postoperative pain score in the day surgery group [1.0 (1.0, 1.0) points] was lower than that in the conventional inpatient group [3.0 (3.0, 3.0) points], with a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.001). Additionally, the total hospitalization costs for the day surgery group and conventional inpatient group were 50 656.5 (48 145.3, 62 597.3) RMB and 53 689.3 (50 469.1, 64 826.5) RMB, respectively.The total hospitalization cost in the day surgery group was significantly lower than that in the conventional inpatient group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P=0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in complications between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion Endoscopic-assisted skin-sparing mastectomy combined with immediate implant-based breast reconstruction in day surgery is feasible and safe. Without increasing postoperative complications, it effectively reduces hospitalization costs and shortens medical care time, demonstrating significant clinical value.

OBJECTIVE To comparatively analyze tumor staging versus clinical staging in reimbursement scope restrictions under medical insurance for antineoplastic agents in order to better implement the medicare drug payment policy. METHODS Antineoplastic agents included in the National Basic Medical Insurance， Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Maternity Insurance Drug Catalogue （2024） （hereinafter referred to as the “Medical Insurance Catalog”） were used as research subject to compile and analyze reimbursement scope restrictions regarding tumor staging. By consulting clinical diagnosis and treatment guidelines and relevant literature， the tumor staging in reimbursement scope restrictions of the Medical Insurance Catalog was mapped and compared with clinical staging. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A total of 89 antineoplastic agents’ medical insurance payments had tumor staging. Among these， there were 86 western drugs （including 17 ordinary western drugs， 68 negotiated drugs， and 1 competitive drug） and 3 Chinese patent medicines （including 1 ordinary Chinese patent medicine and 2 negotiated drugs）. Non-small cell lung cancer involved the most restricted payment drugs， with 36 drugs. The tumor staging in reimbursement scope restrictions was mostly “metastatic” and “locally advanced”， involving 67 and 48 drugs respectively. Tumor staging in most reimbursement scope restrictions could correspond to the clinical staging of the tumor. However， mid-advanced esophageal cancer， unresectable gastrointestinal stromal tumors， unresectable locally advanced neuroendocrine tumors， locally advanced basal cell carcinoma， and unresectable neurofibromatosis type Ⅰ did not have a corresponding clinical staging mentioned in authoritative guidelines or high-quality clinical studies and need to be determined by the clinic according to the actual situation of the patient. Therefore， it is recommended that the interpretation of tumor staging in reimbursement scope restrictions should be accurately defined and standardized， so as to improve the accuracy of the drug payment policy in the actual implementation process.

ObjectiveTo investigate the application of the novel inflammatory factor adsorption column CA280 combined with low-dose plasma exchange （LPE） in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure （ACLF）. MethodsA prospective cohort study was designed， and a total of 93 ACLF patients who were admitted to The Ninth Hospital of Nanchang from June 2023 to January 2025 were enrolled and randomly divided into DPMAS+LPE group with 50 patients and CA280+LPE group with 43 patients. In addition to comprehensive medical treatment， the patients in the DPMAS+LPE group received DPMAS and LPE treatment， and those in the CA280+LPE group received CA280 and LPE treatment. The two groups were observed in terms of routine blood test results， liver function parameters， renal function markers， electrolytes， coagulation function parameters， cytokines， adverse events， and 28-day prognosis before surgery （baseline）， during surgery （DPMAS or CA280）， and after surgery （after sequential LPE treatment）. The paired t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data before and after treatment within each group， and the independent-samples t test was used for comparison between groups； the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data before and after treatment within each group， and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. The chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups， and the Spearman test was used for correlation analysis. ResultsAfter CA280 treatment， the ACLF patients had significant reductions in the levels of cytokines （IL-6， IL-8， IL-10， TNF-α， and IFN-γ）， liver function parameters （ALT， AST， ALP， TBil， DBil， Alb， and glutathione reductase）， and the renal function marker urea nitrogen （all P<0.05）， and in terms of coagulation function parameters， there were significant increases in prothrombin time， activated partial thromboplastin time （APTT）， thrombin time， and international normalized ratio （INR） and significant reductions in prothrombin activity （PTA） and fibrinogen （FIB） （all P<0.05）. Compared with the DPMAS+LPE group， the CA280+LPE group showed better improvements in the serum cytokines IL-8 （Z=-2.63， P=0.009）， IL-10 （Z=-3.94， P<0.001）， and TNF-α （Z=-1.53， P=0.023）， and the two artificial liver support systems had a similar effect in improving liver function （ALT， AST， GGT， GR， TBil， and DBil） （all P >0.05）， but the CA280+LPE group showed a significantly greater reduction in Alb （Z=-2.08， P=0.037）. CA280+LPE was more effective in reducing uric acid （Z=-2.97， P=0.003）. Compared with DPMAS+LPE， CA280+LPE treatment resulted in a significant reduction in INR （Z=-4.01， P<0.001）， a significant increase in APTT （Z=-2.53， P=0.011）， and significant greater increases in PTA （Z=-6.28， P<0.001） and FIB （Z=-3.93， P<0.001）. There were no significant differences in the incidence rates of adverse reactions and the rate of improvement at discharge between the two groups （all P>0.05）. The Spearman correlation analysis showed that IL-6 was significantly correlated with WBC （r=0.22， P=0.042）， TBil （r=0.29， P=0.005）， and FIB （r=-0.33， P=0.003）； IL-8 was positively correlated with APTT （r=0.37， P<0.001） and INR （r=0.25， P=0.013）； TNF-α was significantly correlated with WBC （r=0.40， P<0.001） and TBil （r=0.34， P<0.001）. ConclusionCompared with DPMAS， CA280 combined with LPE can effectively clear proinflammatory cytokines and improve liver function in ACLF patients， but it has a certain impact on Alb and coagulation function. This regimen provides a new option for the individualized treatment of ACLF and can improve the short-term prognosis of patients， but further studies are needed to verify its long-term efficacy.

Skin avulsion injuries of the lower leg are common in clinical practice, which can easily lead to skin necrosis and infection of the lower leg, and have a significant impact on the appearance and function of the lower limb. Among them, the open avulsion injury has the highest incidence and is often accompanied by multiple tissue injuries. Therefore, improper diagnosis and treatment may cause skin and soft tissue defects of the lower leg combined with bone exposure or even bone defects, seriously impairing patients′ life and health. In order to have a better understanding of the open skin avulsion injury of the lower leg, achieve precise diagnosis and treatment and improve prognosis, the Chinese Society of Traumatology of Chinese Medical Association and the Chinese Association of Microsurgeons of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the related fields to formulate Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of open skin avulsion injuries of the lower leg ( version 2024) based on evidence-based medicine principles. A total of 16 recommendations were proposed on the diagnosis, treatment, postoperative rehabilitation of open lower leg skin avulsion injury, so as to provide a reference for its diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate changes of laboratory indicators and pathological features of Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis(HSPN)children after crescent formation,and to explore non-invasive biomarkers for predicting crescent formation.Methods A total of 278 children with HSPN who were hospitalized from January 2018 to July 2023 were selected and divided into the crescent formation group(196 cases)and the non crescent formation group(82 cases)based on their crescent formation status.Patients in the crescent formation group were sub-divided into the cellular crescent formation group(52 cases)and the cellular fibrous crescent formation group(144 cases)based on the type of crescent formation.Laboratory indicators and pathological characteristics were compared between different groups.The correlation between each indicator and the proportion of crescent formation was analyzed.The influencing factors of crescent formation were analyzed by Logistic regression.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted,and the effectiveness of laboratory indicators in predicting crescent formation was evaluated.Results Compared with the non crescent formation group,24-hour urine protein quantification(24 hUP),urine immunoglobulin G/creatinine(UGCR),urine red blood cell count(URBC),neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR),blood urea nitrogen(BUN)and triglycerides(TG)were significantly increased in the crescent formation group.There were increased proportion of diffuse mesangial hyperplasia(Mb),renal tubular atrophy or interstitial fibrosis(T1)(P＜0.05).Compared with the cellular crescent group,the proportion of glomerular segmental sclerosis or adhesion(S1)and T1 were increased,and the proportion of crescent formation was higher in the cellular fibrous crescent group.The proportion of capillary endothelial cell proliferation(E1)was decreased in the cellular crescent group(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that 24 hUP,UGCR,URBC,NLR,BUN,TG,Mb and T1 were positively correlated with the proportion of crescent formation(all P＜0.05).The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that elevated UGCR and T1 were risk factors for crescent formation.The area under the curve(AUC)predicted by UGCR for crescent formation was 0.731(95%CI:0.667-0.795,P＜0.05),with an optimal cutoff value of 5.00 mg/mmol,sensitivity of 0.744 and specificity of 0.610.Conclusion UGCR can be used as a non-invasive biomarker to assist in evaluating crescent formation in children with HSPN.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) among acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases in 16 provinces of China from 2009 to 2023.Methods:The data of this study were collected from the ARI surveillance data from 16 provinces in China from 2009 to 2023, with a total of 28 278 ARI cases included in the study. The clinical specimens from ARI cases were screened for HRSV nucleic acid from 2009 to 2023, and differences in virus detection rates among cases of different age groups, regions, and months were analyzed.Results:A total of 28 278 ARI cases were enrolled from January 2009 to September 2023. The age of the cases ranged from<1 month to 112 years, and the age M ( Q1, Q3) was 3 years (1 year, 9 years). Among them, 3 062 cases were positive for HRSV nucleic acid, with a total detection rate of 10.83%. From 2009 to 2019, the detection rate of HRSV was 9.33%, and the virus was mainly prevalent in winter and spring. During the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the detection rate of HRSV fluctuated between 6.32% and 18.67%. There was no traditional winter epidemic peak of HRSV from the end of 2022 to the beginning of 2023, and an anti-seasonal epidemic of HRSV occurred from April to May 2023. About 87.95% (2 693/3 062) of positive cases were children under 5 years old, and the difference in the detection rate of HRSV among different age groups was statistically significant ( P<0.001), showing a decreasing trend of HRSV detection rate with the increase of age ( P<0.001). Among them, the HRSV detection rate (25.69%) was highest in children under 6 months. Compared with 2009-2019, the ranking of HRSV detection rates in different age groups changed from high to low between 2020 and 2023, with the age M (Q1, Q3) of HRSV positive cases increasing from 1 year (6 months, 3 years) to 2 years (11 months, 3 years). Conclusion:Through 15 years of continuous HRSV surveillance analysis, children under 5 years old, especially infants under 6 months old, are the main high-risk population for HRSV infection. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence and patterns of HRSV in China have changed.

Objective To investigate the impact of cancer-associated fibroblasts(CAFs)on immunotherapy and liver metastasis in colorectal cancer(CRC).Methods The single-cell sequencing data(GSE205506)of CRC patients with mismatch repair deficiency(MMRd)were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus database,and R software was used to preprocess the original sequencing data and establish the umap of fibroblast subpopulations,with each subpopulation named based on signature genes.GraphPad was used for the statistical analysis of the proportion of each fibroblast subpopulation,and the key subpopulations with significant differences were analyzed among CRC patients before and after PD-1 immunotherapy,as well as between the patients with pathological complete response(pCR)and those without pCR(non-pCR)after treatment.The analysis of differentially expressed genes and the gene pathway enrichment analysis were performed for the key subpopulations.The TCGA database was used to perform a prognostic and survival analysis of the signature genes of key CAF subpopulations,and RNA sequencing data were used to score and calculate the proportion of key CAF subpopulations in the primary lesions of CRC patients with liver metastasis.The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups;the Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves,and the log-rank test was used to calculate survival rates.CellPhoneDB software was used to analyze the receptor-ligand interaction between fibroblast subpopulations and tumor cells,and in vitro cell experiments were used to validate the effect of NRG1,a key ligand molecule,on the migration and invasion abilities of CRC cells.Results After PD-1 immunotherapy for CRC patients,there was a significant reduction in the proportion of F6_MMP1+CAFs(P＜0.001),which was only observed in patients achieving complete remission after immunotherapy.F6_MMP1+CAFs were upregulated,as well as the genes and signaling pathways associated with tumor migration and invasion,and in addition,there was a significant increase in F6_MMP1+CAFs in the tumor tissue of CRC patients with liver metastasis(P＜0.000 1).As a ligand,NRG1 expressed by F6_MMP1+CAFs interacted with ERBB3 receptor expressed by tumor cells,and the in vitro experiments confirmed that NRG1 promoted the migration and invasion abilities of tumor cells by activating the ERBB signaling pathway(P＜0.05).Conclusion F6_MMP1+CAFs may affect the efficacy of PD-1 immunotherapy in CRC patients and play an important role in promoting liver metastasis in CRC.F6_MMP1+CAFs,along with NRG1 that is produced by them and can promote tumor metastasis,can be used as potential therapeutic targets and prognostic markers for CRC.
