Objective:To assess the predictive performance of a nomogram model integrating endoscopic ultrasound（EUS）radiomic features with clinical variables for distinguishing early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma（ESCC）from non-cancerous lesions.Methods:Clinical and imaging data from 454 patients who underwent EUS for suspected esophageal malignancies were retrospectively collected in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University（training cohort， n = 323）and Dongyang People's Hospital（external validation cohort， n = 131）from January 2020 to November 2023. Independent clinical predictors of early ESCC were identified using univariable and multivariable Logistic regression analyses to establish a clinical model. Pearson correlation and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator（LASSO）algorithms were used to construct a radiomics model. A combined model integrating radiomics scores and clinical predictors was developed and visualized as a nomogram. The predictive performance of each model was assessed using the area under the ROC curve（AUC），and calibration curves were used to evaluate the model's fitting capability. Results:The training set and validation set indicated that there were statistically significant differences in age，smoking history and lesion location between the early ESCC group and the non-cancerous lesion change group（all P < 0.05）. According to univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis，age（ OR = 1.039，95% CI = 1.003–1.077， P = 0.036）and smoking（ OR = 2.358，95% CI = 1.270 - 4.376， P = 0.007）were identified as independent predictors and used to develop the clinical model，with AUCs of 0.608 and 0.694 in the training and validation cohorts，respectively. Fourteen optimal radiomic features were selected to construct the radiomics model，with AUCs of 0.881 and 0.807 in the training and validation cohorts，respectively. The combined nomogram model demonstrated superior predictive performance with AUCs of 0.893 and 0.830，sensitivities of 82.5% and 79.1%，and specificities of 82.2% and 81.3% in the training and validation cohorts，respectively. Conclusions:The EUS-based nomogram model demonstrates optimal predictive performance and can serve as a non-invasive tool to assist endoscopists in distinguishing early ESCC from non-cancerous lesions.

Objective To explore the mechanism of electroacupuncture in improving lipid metabolism in polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)based on metabolomics combined with transcriptomics.Methods Eight-een SD rats were divided into the control group,the PCOS group and the electroacupuncture group,with 6 rats in each group.The PCOS group and the electroacupuncture group used intragastric letrozole to establish the PCOS model.After the model was established,the electroacupuncture group was intervened with electroacu-puncture,while the control group was only given sodium carboxymethyl cellulose by gavage.Observed the changes in body weight and estrous cycle of the three groups,detected the sex hormones,blood lipids,liver function,ovarian morphology,plasma metabolism and liver function indicators of the three groups.Metabolo-mics was used to analyze the differences in metabolites in plasma,the differences in gene expression in the liv-er were detected by RT-qPCR.Results Weight gain and estrous cycle disorder occurred in the PCOS group,and the ovarian morphology showed a thinning of the granulosa cell layer,with a significant reduction in the number of corpus luteum and mature follicles.Meanwhile,sex hormones were abnormal(total testosterone and androgen levels were increased,estradiol and progesterone levels were decreased),dyslipidemia occurred(TC,TG,LDL-C were increased,HDL-C level was decreased),and liver function was abnormal(AST,total protein,ALB,TBIL were increased).The electroacupuncture group significantly reduced weight.It improved the estrous cycle,and the granulosa cell layer of the ovary thickened,with a significant increasing in the num-ber of corpus luteum and mature follicles.Meanwhile,sex hormone levels were improved(androgen and total testosterone levels were decreased,estradiol level was increased),lipid balance(TC,TG,LDL-C levels were reduced,HDL-C level was increased)and liver function(AST,total protein,ALB,and TBIL levels were de-creased)was restored.Transcriptomics suggested that electroacupuncture down-regulated the expression of cytochrome P450(CYPs)family genes related to steroid hormones and lipid metabolism,and the results were confirmed by RT-qPCR.Combined omics analysis revealed that electroacupuncture might mainly exert its effect on improving lipid metabolism disorders in PCOS rats through the linoleic acid metabolic pathway.Con-clusion Electroacupuncture can regulate lipid metabolism in rats with PCOS.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms of rs700519 and rs4646 loci of cytochrome P450 19A1 (CYP19A1) gene with risk of Breast cancer. METHODS: Two hundred patients with breast cancer treated at Xinxiang Central Hospital between January 2019 and January 2024 and 100 healthy individuals were enrolled as the study group and control group, respectively. The genotypes of the CYP19A1 gene at the rs700519 and rs4646 loci were determined by direct sequencing. The general data, distribution of CYP19A1 genotypes and alleles were compared between the two groups. This study has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Xinxiang Central Hospital (Ethics No. 2021-182). RESULTS: No significant difference was found in age, body mass index, times of conception and proportion of menopause between the two groups (P > 0.05). The frequencies of AA genotype and A allele at the rs700519 locus, and the CC genotype and C allele at the rs4646 locus in the study group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The frequencies of AA genotype at the rs700519 locus and CC genotype at the rs4646 locus in patients with breast cancer at stages III-IV were significantly higher than those at stage I-II (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Polymorphisms of CYP19A1 gene at the rs700519 and rs4646 loci are associated with susceptibility of breast cancer. The AA and CC genotypes at the two loci may increase the risk for breast cancer.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)is a malignant lesion originating from the oral mucosal squamous epithelium,account-ing for over 80％of oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Key etiological factors include tobacco,alcohol abuse,and betel quid chewing.In China,its incidence has shown an overall upward trend,posing a significant threat to public health.OSCC exhibits high local invasive-ness,making early diagnosis critical for improving prognosis.Its clinical management requires close multidisciplinary collaboration among oral and maxillofacial surgery,head and neck surgery,radiation oncology,medical oncology,reconstructive surgery,radiology,patholo-gy,and nutritional support teams.Given the increasing disease burden of OSCC and rapid development of multidisciplinary collaborative models,an expert panel has formulated this integrated management consensus based on evidence-based medicine and extensive deliber-ation.Centered on the'Prevention-Screening-Diagnosis-Treatment-Rehabilitation'framework,the consensus provides comprehensive guidance for the entire disease course of OSCC patients,aiming to standardize clinical practice.

Objective To observe the effect of sevoflurane(SEV)on the expression of myocardial biological clock gene aromatic hydrocarbon receptor nuclear transport-like protein 1(BMAL1)in diabetic rats and to explore its changes.Methods Sixty healthy male SD rats with a body mass of 200-250 g were divided into oxygen inhalation group(NC)and sevoflurane inhalation group(SEV).The diabetic model was routinely replicated,and the model was divided into oxygen group(DM)and sevoflurane group(DM+SEV)with an inhalation time of 5 h(n=15).Four groups of experimental animals were executed at 0,12 and 24 h after the anesthesia was stopped and then myocardial tissue was isolated.Western blot was used to determine the expression level of biological clock gene BMAL1 protein and its activation enzyme USP9X;HE staining microspy to observe the pathological changes of my-ocardial tissue and immuno-fluorescence co-localization to observe the relationship between USP9X and BMAL1.Results At 0 and 12 h after stopping anesthesia,the expression of BMAL1 and USP9X in the DM+SEV group was significantly down-regulated as compared with the DM group,and the expression of BMAL1 and USP9X in the DM+SEV group was significantly down-regulated(P<0.05)at 24 h after stopping anesthesia(P>0.05).HE staining microscopy found changes of myocardial tissue structure in the DM+SEV group at 0 and 12 hrs after stopping anes-thesia.This change was most significant at 0 h after stopping anesthesia,but the myocardial tissue structure was neatly arranged at 24 h.The results of immuno-fluorescence colocalization showed that USP9X and BMAL1 proteins were mainly distributed in the cytoplasm of cardio-myocardium with and overlapping parts between them.Under the influence of sevoflurane,there was less overlap between the two at 0 and 12 hrs after stopping anesthesia and more overlap between the two at 24 h,which was close to that of the DM group.Conclusions Sevoflurane reversibly changes the expression of myocardial circadian clock gene BMAL1 in diabetic rats and this change still existe for 12 h after stopping anesthesia,then significantly fade away 24 hrs after stopping anesthesia.

BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated anemia (CKD-anemia) is associated with poor survival, and hemoglobin targets are often not achieved with current therapies. Phase 3 trials have demonstrated the treatment efficacy of roxadustat for CKD-anemia. This phase 4 study aims to evaluate the long-term (52-week) safety and effectiveness of roxadustat in a broad real-world patient population with CKD-anemia with and without dialysis in China. METHODS: This Phase 4 multicenter, open-label, prospective study, conducted from 24 November 2020 to 11 November 2022, evaluated the long-term safety and effectiveness of roxadustat for CKD-anemia in China. Patients aged ≥18 years with CKD-anemia with or without dialysis were included. The initial oral dose was 70-120 mg (weight-based followed by dose adjustment) over 52 weeks. The primary endpoint was safety based on adverse events (AEs). The secondary endpoints were hemoglobin changes from baseline and the proportion of patients who achieved mean hemoglobin ≥100 g/L. Effectiveness evaluable populations 1 (EE1) and EE2 included roxadustat-naïve and previously roxadustat-treated patients, respectively. The safety analysis set (SAF) included all patients who received ≥1 occasion. RESULTS: The EE1, EE2, and SAF populations included 1804, 193, and 2021 patients, respectively. In the SAF, the mean age was 50 ± 14 years, and 1087 patients (53.8%) were male. Mean baseline hemoglobin was 96.9 ± 14.0 g/L in EE1 and 100.3 ± 12.9 g/L in EE2. In EE1, the mean (95% confidence interval) hemoglobin changes from baseline over weeks 24-36 and 36-52 were 14.2 (13.5-14.9) g/L and 14.3 (13.5-15.0) g/L, respectively. Over weeks 24-36 and 36-52, 83.3% and 86.1% of patients in EE1 and 82.7% and 84.7% in EE2 achieved mean hemoglobin ≥100 g/L, respectively. In the SAF, 1643 (81.3%) patients experienced treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs). Overall, 219 (10.8%) patients experienced drug-related TEAEs. Thirty-eight (1.9%) patients died of TEAEs (unrelated to the study drug). Vascular access thrombosis was uncommon. CONCLUSIONS: Roxadustat (52 weeks) increased hemoglobin and maintained the treatment target in Chinese patients with CKD-anemia with acceptable safety, supporting its use in real-world settings.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of the Tai Chi training on bone density， bone turnover markers， and heart rate variability for people with high-risk osteoporosis， and to provide evidence for the prevention of osteoporosis at early stage. MethodsSixty-six cases of people with high risk of osteoporosis were included， and they were divided into 33 cases each in the intervention group and the control group using the random number table method. The control group received osteoporosis health education three times a week， and the intervention group received Tai Chi training under the guidance of a trainer three times a week for 40 mins each time on the basis of the control group， and both groups were intervened for 12 weeks. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure the bone density of L₁~L₄ vertebrae， bilateral femoral necks and bilateral total hips in the two groups before and after the intervention； enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine bone turnover markers before and after the intervention， including pro-collagen type Ⅰ pro-amino-terminal prepropyl peptide （P1NP） and β-collagen type Ⅰ cross-linking carboxy-terminal peptide （β-CTX）. Seven cases with good compliance in the intervention group were selected. After wearing the heart rate sensor， they successively performed Tai Chi training and walking activities recommended by the guideline for 20 mins each， and the heart rate variability （HRV） during exercise was collected， including time-domain indexes such as standard deviation of normal sinus intervals （SDNN）， root-mean-square of the difference between adjacent RR intervals （RMSSD）， frequency-domain metrics such as low-frequency power （LF）， high-frequency power （HF）， and low-frequency/high-frequency power ratio （LF/HF）， as well as nonlinear metrics such as approximate entropy （ApEn）， sample entropy （SampEn）. ResultsFinally， 63 cases were included in the outcome analysis， including 30 cases in the intervention group and 33 cases in the control group. After the intervention， the differences of L₁~L₄ vertebrae， bone density of bilateral femoral neck and bilateral total hip in the intervention group were not statistically significant when compared with those before intervention （P＞0.05）， while the bone density of all parts of the control group decreased significantly compared with that before intervention （P＜0.05）， and the difference in the bone density of the L₁~L₄ vertebrae， bilateral femoral neck， and the right total hip before and after the intervention of the intervention group was smaller than that of the control group （P＜0.05）. The differences in P1NP and β-CTX between groups before and after intervention was not statistically significant （P＞0.05）. Compared with walking exercise， LF decreased， HF increased and LF/HF decreased during Tai Chi exercise （P＜0.05）； the time domain indexes and non-linear indexes between groups had no statistically significant difference （P＞0.05）. ConclusionTai Chi exercise can maintain lumbar， hip， and femoral bone density and improve sympathetic/parasympathetic balance in people at high risk for osteoporosis， but cannot significantly improve bone turnover markers.

Objective:To sinicize the Obsessive and Compulsive Behaviors Scale of Mothers in Postpartum Period Regarding Baby Care (OCBS-MPPRBC) to test its reliability and validity, and to provide an evaluation tool for evaluating the degree of compulsive behaviors of postpartum mothers regarding baby care.Methods:Following the principles of Brislin translation, back translation and cross-cultural adaptation, the Chinese version of OCBS-MPPRBC was formed. A convenient sampling method was used to investigate 360 women in Mianyang Central Hospital from November 2023 to February 2024, and to test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version OCBS-MPPRBC. The critical ratio method and the total correlation analysis method were used for item analysis, the reliability test was based on Cronbach α coefficient and half-reliability method, and the content validity index, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and aggregate validity were used for validity test. Results:A total of 352 women aged 21-41 (31.55 ± 3.17) years who met the exclusion criteria were included. The Chinese version of OCBS-MPPRBC contained 9 items, and 2 common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative total variance contribution rate was 65.523%. The content validity index of the scale level was 0.89, the content validity index of each item level was 0.86-1.00, and the Cronbach α coefficient of the total scale was 0.844, and the half-folded reliability was 0.759. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the fitting index of the Chinese version of the OCBS-MPPRBC model was better. Conclusions:The Chinese version of the OCBS-MPPRBC scale has good reliability and validity, and has good operability, which can be used to evaluate the degree of compulsive behavior of postpartum mothers about baby care in China.
