This study aimed to design and synthesize a series of novel photocaged compounds based on the precise binding mode of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) inhibitor AT7519 with its target, to achieve precise optical control over molecular activity. Using AT7519 as the structural foundation, different types of photoremovable protecting groups were introduced at its key interaction sites (the NH of the pyrazole ring and the NH of the piperidine ring), resulting in the synthesis of eight dual-photocaged compounds. Their structures were confirmed by NMR and mass spectrometry, and their photochemical properties—including photolysis wavelength, photolysis time, and photolysis efficiency—were systematically evaluated. The optically controlled inhibitory effects of the compounds on HCT116 cell proliferation were assessed using MTT assay. The photoresponsive characteristics of the photocaged compounds were significantly influenced by the type of photoremovable protecting group and its introduction site. Among them, compounds 1a, 1b, and 2d exhibited excellent photolysis efficiency, each achieving a rate exceeding 90%. Particularly, compounds 1b and 2d demonstrated excellent optically controlled activity: under dark conditions, their half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values were both greater than 150 µmol/L, indicating negligible cell proliferation inhibitory activity; however, upon irradiation, their cell proliferation inhibitory activity significantly increased, with IC50 values comparable to those of the positive control AT7519. The obtained compounds 1b and 2d possess excellent optically controlled properties, and can be further investigated as potential candidates for optically controlled CDK2 inhibitors.

Objective:To analyze the genomic characteristics and antibiotic resistance of Listeria monocytogenes isolated from food sources in Beijing City in 2022. Methods:A total of 83 strains of Listeria monocytogenes were isolated from three major categories of food, namely raw poultry, raw livestock meat and ready-to-eat foods, in Beijing′s food safety risk monitoring in 2022. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed to determine serogroups, multilocus sequence typing (ST) and core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST). Virulence genes and antibiotic resistance genes were identified using the VFDB and ResFinder 3.0 databases. Antimicrobial susceptibility to eight antibiotics was tested via the broth microdilution method. Results:The predominant serogroup was 1/2a, 3a (61.2%). All the isolates were divided into 14 STs, with ST121 (21.7%), ST8 (20.5%), ST9 (13.3%), and ST87 (13.3%) as the dominant types. All 83 isolates were classified into 75 cgMLST types, with six clusters showing identical profiles, indicating potential clonal transmission. Comparative genomic analysis revealed that strains of the same ST clustered together regardless of geographic origin, and some Beijing isolates differed by fewer than 10 alleles from strains isolated in other countries. All the isolates in the study carried virulence islands 1(LIPI-1) and LIPI-2. LIPI-3 was detected in ST1, ST11 and ST3 isolates, while LIPI-4 was found in ST87 isolates. About 42 isolates (50.6%, including ST1, ST11, ST5, ST307, ST8, ST9, ST155, and ST3) harbored SSI-1, and 18 ST121 isolates carried SSI-2. Only 3.61% (three strains) and 4.82% (four strains) of isolates exhibited resistance to tetracycline and erythromycin, respectively. No resistance to other tested antibiotics was observed.Conclusion:Foodborne Listeria monocytogenes in Beijing exhibits high genomic diversity but is dominated by specific STs, some of which are associated with hypervirulence. Some Beijing isolates have homology with food-derived isolates from other countries.

Objective:To investigate the complications, along with their diagnosis and management, that follow local excision for rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy.Methods:The clinical data of 53 patients with rectal cancer who underwent local resection after neoadjuvant treatment in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January, 2010 to December, 2024 were retrospectively collected for this descriptive case series study. Indications for local resection were: (1) age ≥ 18 years; (2) American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification I-III; (3) pathologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma; (4) distance from the lower edge of the tumor to the anal edge of less than 8 cm; and (5) use of preoperative neoadjuvant therapy. Contraindications of local resection were: (1) multiple primary colorectal cancer and (2) intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation, or and gastrointestinal bleeding that required emergency surgery. There were 36 males and 17 females, and the median age was 62 (26-85) years. After neoadjuvant therapy, the median distance from the tumor to the anal margin was 4.5 (range, 2.2-6.9) cm. The main outcome measures included: surgical details, pathological findings, postoperative complications, anorectal function, and oncological outcomes (recurrence and survival).Results:Surgical methods included transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) in 47 cases, transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) in 3 cases, and traditional transanal local resection in 3 cases. Of the 53 patients, 29 (54.7%) had pathological complete response (pCR), namely pT0 stage; 8 cases were pT1, 15 cases were pT2, and 1 case was pT3. Twenty-four cases (45.3%) had 33 complications. Clavien-Dindo grade I-II accounted for 97.0% (32/33), including 14 cases (26.4%) of wound dehiscence. Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) occurred in 7 cases (13.2%), including 5 minor cases and 2 major cases. Postoperative fever occurred in 7 cases (13.2%); urinary retention occurred in 3 cases (5.7%); and diarrhea occurred in 1 case (1.9%). Clavien Dindo grade III was observed in only 3.0% (1/33) of patients, which was a rectovaginal fistula. Among the 14 patients with wound dehiscence, 7 cases only suffered anal pain and were cured after symptomatic analgesic treatment. Five cases suffered anal pain with hematochezia but improved after treatment with essential diet, hemostasis, intravenous antibiotics, pain relief, and sitz bath. Two cases of secondary perianal infection were treated with intravenous antibiotics, local drainage, parenteral nutrition support, and symptomatic treatment, and the wounds healed within 2 months. One patient with rectovaginal fistula underwent transverse colostomy. After six months, the fistula healed and stoma reversal was performed. Seven patients with LARS received anal lifting exercise and defecation reflex training, and anal function recovered to the preoperative level after 1 year. Other complications improved after symptomatic treatment, pain relief, or catheter replacement. The median follow-up time was 60 months. Local recurrence occurred in 4 patients (7.5%) and distant metastasis occurred in 12 patients (22.6%). Seven patients (13.2%) died. The 5-year disease-free survival rate was 75.5%, and the 5-year overall survival rate was 86.8%.Conclusions:Local excision for rectal cancer following neoadjuvant therapy has a high incidence of complications, mainly wound-related, due to the decline of rectal wound healing ability after radiotherapy. However, most of the complications were relieved after symptomatic treatment, and the risk was controllable.

Objective:To analyze the types and characteristics of post-operative complications in colorectal cancer patients aged over 85 years undergoing laparoscopic surgery, and to summarize peri-operative management strategies.Methods:This was an observational study. Inclusion criteria: pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma; tumor located in ileocecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, or rectum; undergoing laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer; complete clinical data. Exclusion criteria included distant metastasis, synchronous resection of multiple primary cancers, simultaneous liver metastasis surgery, and follow-up duration <1 month. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 191 patients of colorectal cancer patients aged over 85 years who underwent laparoscopic radical surgery in the General Surgery Department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2019 to January 2024. Among 191 patients, 107 patients (56.0%) had colon cancer and 84 (44.0%) rectal cancer. All patients received "home-based prehabilitation" and post-operative "enhanced recovery after surgery" protocols. Patient characteristics, peri-operative complication types, treatments, and outcomes were analyzed.Results:Post-operative complications occurred in 97 patients (50.8%), including 53 colon cancer patients (54.6%) and 44 rectal cancer patients (45.4%). Comorbidities existed in 88 patients (90.7%), with 93 patients (95.9%) classified as ASA II-III pre-operatively and 86 (88.7%) having nutritional risks. Surgical procedures included Dixon procedure (38 patients, 39.2%), right hemicolectomy (33 patients, 34.0%), sigmoidectomy (10 patients, 10.3%), and 17 patients (17.5%) received prophylactic stomas. Complication types comprised non-anastomotic infections (38 patients, 19.9%), intestinal flora disorder (26 patients, 13.6%), anastomotic/wound/stoma-related complications (16 patients, 8.4%), thrombotic/hemorrhagic events (6 patients, 3.1%), and others (11 patients, 5.8%). By Clavien-Dindo classification: Grade I (12 patients, 6.3%), Grade II (69 patients, 36.1%), Grade III (12 patients, 6.3%), and Grade IV (4 patients, 2.1%). Except for 5 patients (2.6%) requiring unplanned re-operation, all complications resolved with conservative treatment. The median duration of post-operative hospitalization was 9.5 days (7–13).Conclusion:Non-anastomotic infections and intestinal flora disorder constitute predominant complications after laparoscopic surgery in colorectal cancer patients aged over 85 years, mostly manageable with conservative treatment. Strengthened peri-operative management incorporating pre-operative prehabilitation and post-operative enhanced recovery after surgery protocols is crucial for patients aged over 85 years.

Objective:To explore the application of the camera inversion technique in laparoscopic sphincter-preserving surgery for mid to low rectal cancer.Methods:A retrospective study with historical controls was conducted on patients with non-metastatic mid to low rectal cancer which received laparoscopic total mesorectal excision at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2019 to June 2024. The experimental group (2021.7-2024.6) utilized the camera inversion technique (rotating the lens 180° to position the bevel upward and switching the system to reverse display mode for improved visualization and operative angles) during key surgical steps (such as intraoperative mobilization of the mid-to-lower rectum and anastomosis), while the control group (2019.1-2021.6) did not. Clinical data and surgical videos were collected to analyze indicators like operative time, blood loss, mesorectal integrity, surgical complications, and postoperative hospital stay.Results:A total of 624 patients with non-metastatic mid to low rectal cancer were included, including 412 males and 212 females, with an average age of 59.8 years and an average tumor distance of 5.6 cm from the anal verge. The experimental group comprised 301 patients, while the control group had 323 patients.The proportion of abdominal ISR (intersphincteric resection) was significantly higher in the experimental group [19.3% (58/301) vs. 10.2%(33/323), χ 2=10.140, P=0.001], with a reduction in operative time [(161.8±67.8) minutes vs. (150.2±68.5) minutes, t=2.134, P=0.033] and a decrease in postoperative hospital stay [(7.8±2.1) days vs. (8.3±3.4) days, t=2.003, P=0.046]. The experimental group also demonstrated advantages in intraoperative blood loss, mesorectal integrity rate, and postoperative complications such as urinary retention, though these differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Conclusion:In laparoscopic surgery for mid to low rectal cancer, using camera inversion technique during distal rectum dissection and transanal anastomosis can provide better surgical field exposure, facilitate precise operations within the correct anatomical plane, and minimize collateral damage. The camera inversion technique is safe and effective.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of in-hospital mortality in patients with femoral neck fracture and establish a prediction model for in-hospital mortality.Methods:From 2014 to 2023, a total of 4,028,102 hospitalized patients from six directly affiliated hospitals and two co-constructed affiliated hospitals of Peking University were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 4,744 patients were hospitalized with femoral neck fractures, including 1,486 males and 3,258 females, aged 74±13.3 years (range, 19-103 years). Gender, age, length of hospital stay, hospitalization costs, preoperative comorbidities, treatment methods, anesthesia methods, and in-hospital mortality were extracted from the medical records. According to the presence or absence of in-hospital death, the patients were divided into death group and survival group. The differences in general data and clinical indicators between the two groups were compared, and the indicators with statistically significant differences were included in binary logistic regression analysis to screen the risk factors for in-hospital death in patients with femoral neck fracture. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for predicting in-hospital mortality of femoral neck fracture was drawn, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated.Results:There were 30 cases in the death group and 4,714 cases in the survival group, with a mortality rate of 0.63%. Among the dead patients, 20 had undergone hip replacement, and 10 had received non-surgical treatment. In the death group, age ( t=7.524, P<0.001), length of hospital stay ( t=3.802, P<0.001), hospitalisation cost ( t=3.961, P<0.001), rate of non-surgical treatment ( P<0.001), anaesthesia modality ( P=0.002), dementia ( P=0.045), malignant tumour ( P<0.001), renal insufficiency (χ 2=27.901, P<0.001), hypertension (χ 2=4.155, P=0.042), cerebral infarction (χ 2=8.271, P=0.004), urinary infections ( P=0.043), electrolyte disorders (χ 2=16.660, P<0.001), post-cholecystectomy ( P=0.070), abnormal liver function ( P=0.015), schizophrenia ( P=0.062), myocardial infarction (χ 2=19.057, P<0.001), diabetes mellitus with end-organ damage ( P=0.036), congestive heart failure (χ 2=93.122, P<0.001), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (χ 2=27.714, P<0.001) were greater than in the survival group, and the differences were statistically significance ( P<0.10). Bicategory logistic regression analysis showed age ( OR=1.08, P=0.008), non-surgical treatment ( OR=2.87, P=0.017), combined malignancy ( OR=9.35, P<0.001), renal insufficiency ( OR=4.07, P=0.004), hypertension ( OR=4.45, P=0.007), cerebral infarction ( OR=2.42, P=0.040), electrolyte disorders ( OR=4.29, P=0.009), schizophrenia ( OR=41.23, P=0.002), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( OR=3.84, P=0.002), and congestive heart failure ( OR=7.08, P<0.001) were the independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality of femoral neck fracture. The AUC and its 95% confidence interval (CI) for the predictive model were 0.908(0.84, 0.97), indicating excellent predictive value. Conclusion:Elderly, non-surgical treatment, malignant tumor, renal insufficiency, hypertension, cerebral infarction, electrolyte disturbance, schizophrenia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure are associated with higher in-hospital mortality in patients with femoral neck fracture.
