[摘 要] 目的：探讨m6A调控因子在宫颈癌预后评估、免疫微环境特征及治疗反应中的作用，构建基于m6A调控因子的预后风险模型，并分析其与免疫浸润、药物敏感性及细胞间通信的关系。方法：基于TCGA和GEO数据库中宫颈鳞癌及腺癌（CESC）转录组数据，分析22个m6A调控因子的表达与突变情况；采用LASSO‑Cox回归构建m6A相关预后风险模型，并依据风险评分将患者分为高、低风险组。利用CIBERSORT和ESTIMATE算法评估两组免疫细胞浸润及微环境特征；通过oncoPredict预测抗肿瘤药物敏感性。整合单细胞转录组数据（E-MTAB-12305），采用CellChat分析细胞间通信网络。结果：共鉴定出12个在宫颈癌中差异表达的m6A调控因子。高风险组患者总生存期缩短（P < 0.05），免疫评分降低，且对紫杉醇、氟尿嘧啶、多柔比星等抗肿瘤药物敏感性较差（IC50较高）。单细胞分析显示宫颈癌组织中细胞间通信网络发生改变，其中T细胞与内皮/上皮细胞间的相互作用可能主要由CCL5‑ACKR1和MIF‑（CD74 + CXCR4）配体‑受体介导。在临床样本中，对关键的m6A调控因子进行mRNA和蛋白水平的验证，结果显示部分调控因子在宫颈癌组织中的表达水平高于正常宫颈组织（P < 0.05）。结论：m6A调控因子特征可有效预测宫颈癌患者预后，其风险评分与肿瘤免疫浸润、药物敏感性及细胞通信密切相关，为宫颈癌的预后分层及个体化治疗提供了新的分子依据。

Introduction: The 2021 IDF-DAR risk calculator had been previously evaluated in multiple studies and subsequently widely accepted and applied in clinical practice as a practical standardized tool for patient risk stratification. Recently updated, the 2026 IDF-DAR Risk calculator enables a more individualized, evidence-related evaluation of patientrelated and disease-related risk factors, incorporating modern diabetes technologies, including continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), automated insulin delivery (AID) systems, and advanced insulin formulations to enhance risk stratification. This tool allows medical professionals to tailor Ramadan practices based on overall factors toward promoting safe fasting. Methodology: This prospective multicentre observational study recruited adults with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes attending public hospitals nationwide. People with diabetes (PwD) intending to perform Ramadan fasting were invited to participate and assessed using the 2026 IDF-DAR Risk Calculator in the 6-week pre-Ramadan period between 30th January and 19th March 2026. Results: A total of 458 PwD were evaluated and stratified into low (15.7%), moderate (41%), and high risk (43.3%) categories. Most participants had Type 2 diabetes (83.6%), with 60.3% having a disease duration exceeding 10 years and 43% exhibiting poor glycemic control (hemoglobin A1c >9%). Insulin therapy was used by 76.4% of participants, including two individuals with Type 1 diabetes using AID systems. Most participants reported no recent hypoglycemia (76.4%), 81.0% performed glucose monitoring, and 3.3% used CGM. Severe comorbidities were uncommon, with 1.1% having unstable macrovascular disease and 4.4% advanced chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate <30). Notably, 72.2% received structured Ramadan education. Conclusion Majority of PwD attending tertiary diabetes clinics were in the moderate- to high-risk category and intended to fast despite medical advice against fasting in some cases. Although most participants were on insulin therapy, hypoglycemia was low in the pre-Ramadan period. Integration of modern technologies, advanced insulin therapies, and structured education may support safer fasting practices.

BACKGROUND:Black phosphorus has a high degree of homology with human bone,so it has been extensively studied in the field of bone tissue engineering in recent years.Since 2014,two-dimensional black phosphorus materials have garned significant attention in the field of biomedicine due to their excellent exceptional physical,chemical,and biological properties. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the advancements made in black phosphorus-based nanomaterials for bone tissue engineering,focus on the synthesis methods,osteogenic characteristics,and applications in biomaterials pertaining to two-dimensional black phosphorus nanomaterials. METHODS:Chinese and English key words were"black phosphorus,bone tissue engineering,bone defect,bone regeneration,osteogenesis."Relevant articles in PubMed and CNKI databases from January 2014 to December 2023 were searched.After exclusion and screening,96 articles were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Black phosphorus nanomaterials play an important role in bone tissue engineering due to their good biocompatibility,biodegradability,photothermal action,antibacterial ability,drug loading performance,and special osteogenic effect,and are ideal candidate materials for promoting bone regeneration.The preparation of black phosphorus nanomaterials is mainly a top-down top-layer stripping method.The main principle is to weaken the van der Waals force between the black phosphorus layers by physical or chemical means to obtain a single or less layer of phosphanse,that is,black phosphorus nanosheets or quantum dots.Black phosphate-based nanocomposites are mainly divided into hydrogels,3D printing scaffolds,composite scaffolds,electrospinning,bionic periosteum,microspheres,and bionic coatings.The research of nano-black phosphorus in bone tissue engineering is in its infancy,and still faces many challenges:the behavior of black phosphorus in vivo and the interaction mechanism with various biomolecules need to be further studied.The long-term potential toxicity of black phosphorus is unknown.The manufacturing process for black phosphorus is difficult to control.Therefore,how to develop uniform size,safe,reliable,and efficient nano black phosphorus and transform it into clinical application requires interdisciplinary research on modern biomedical technology,physicochemical technology,and precision manufacturing technology.

Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)exerts integrative effects on complex diseases owing to the char-acteristics of multiple components with multiple targets.However,the syndrome-based system of diagnosis and treatment in TCM can easily lead to bias because of varying medication preferences among physicians,which has been a major challenge in the global acceptance and application of TCM.Therefore,a standardized TCM prescription system needs to be explored to promote its clinical application.In this study,we first developed a gradient weighted disease-target-herbal ingredient-herb network to aid TCM formulation.We tested its efficacy against intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH).First,the top 100 ICH targets in the GeneCards database were screened according to their relevance scores.Then,SymMap and Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology(TCMSP)databases were applied to find out the target-related ingredients and ingredient-containing herbs,respectively.The relevance of the resulting ingredients and herbs to ICH was determined by adding the relevance scores of the corresponding targets.The top five ICH therapeutic herbs were combined to form a tailored TCM prescriptions.The absorbed components in the serum were detected.In a mouse model of ICH,the new prescription exerted multifaceted effects,including improved neurological function,as well as attenuated neuronal damage,cell apoptosis,vascular leakage,and neuroinflammation.These effects matched well with the core pathological changes in ICH.The multi-targets-directed gradient-weighting strategy presents a promising avenue for tailoring precise,multipronged,unbiased,and standardized TCM prescriptions for complex diseases.This study provides a paradigm for advanced achievements-driven modern innovation in TCM concepts.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of the modified crowbar-assisted minimally invasive Chevron osteotomy for the treatment of hallux valgus.Methods:A total of 42 patients with hallux valgus who underwent modified crowbar-assisted minimally invasive Chevron osteotomy at Huashan Hospital of Fudan University for hallux valgus from January 2019 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 3 males and 39 females, aged 42.3±8.7 years (range, 26-60 years); 18 left-sided and 24 right-sided, with body mass index 22.9±2.3 kg/m 2. According to the size of the hallux valgus angle (HVA), 26 patients were divided into the mild group (15°≤HVA<20°) and 16 patients were divided into moderate group (20°≤HVA≤40°). All patients were treated with modified crowbar-assisted Chevron osteotomy. The preoperative and postoperative HVA, intermetatarsal angle (IMA), distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), visual analogue scale (VAS) and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society metatarsophalangeal interphalangeal scale (AOFAS Hallux MTP-IP scale) were compared. Results:All patients successfully completed the operation and were followed up for an average of 22.3±6.5 months (range, 18-30 months). The HVA, IMA, and DMAA in the mild group at the last follow-up were 6.6°±1.8°, 8.1°±1.8°, and 4.3°±1.1°, respectively, which were significantly lower than those before operation 17.8°±1.4°, 12.5°±1.5°, and 7.6°±2.4° ( P<0.05). The HVA, IMA, and DMAA in the moderate group at the last follow-up were 7.6°±2.1°, 8.8°±1.6°, and 4.8°±2.9°, respectively, which were significantly lower than those before operation 32.3°±3.5°, 14.8°±3.5°, and 12.7°±5.4° ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, there was no significant difference in HVA, IMA, or DMAA between the two groups ( P>0.05). The differences of HVA, IMA, and DMAA before and after operation in the moderate group were 24.7°±2.6°, 6.0°±2.3°, and 7.9°±3.8°, respectively, which were greater than those in the mild group 11.2°±1.7°, 4.4°±1.6°, and 3.3°±1.6°, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the VAS score of the mild group decreased from 2.6±2.0 before surgery to 0.4±0.2, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=6.014, P<0.001). The VAS score of the moderate group decreased from 3.2±2.2 before surgery to 0.4±0.3, the difference was statistically significant ( t=8.777, P<0.001). The preoperative AOFAS Hallux MTP-IP scale of the toe metatarsal joint in the mild group and the moderate group were 71.6±5.9 and 64.3±7.8, respectively, which increased to 93.3±6.0 and 92.3±6.0 at the last follow-up, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, there was no significant difference in AOFAS Hallux MTP-IP scale between the two groups ( P>0.05). Twenty-two of the 26 patients in the mild group were satisfied, and 14 of the 16 patients in the moderate group were satisfied, and the difference in satisfaction between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The clinical efficacy of the modified crowbar-assisted minimally invasive Chevron osteotomy in the treatment of hallux valgus is satisfactory, and it can effectively correct the hallux valgus deformity and improve the function of the metatarsophalangeal joint.

Background and Aims:Polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)is a common endocrine disorder among obese women,often accompanied by psychological issues such as anxiety and depression.Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy(LSG)is an effective treatment for obesity and its related metabolic conditions,and has shown clear benefits in improving weight and metabolic profiles in PCOS patients.However,the potential mechanisms by which psychological status may affect weight loss outcomes remain unclear.This study aimed to evaluate the psychological characteristics of obese patients with PCOS and explore their impact on postoperative weight loss outcomes,in order to provide evidence for individualized intervention strategies.Methods:Female obese patients scheduled for LSG between November 2020 and September 2022 were enrolled and divided into PCOS and non-PCOS groups.Standardized psychological scales were used to assess anxiety,depression,self-esteem,and eating behaviors.Weight loss outcomes were recorded at 6 and 12 months postoperatively.Propensity score matching was used to control for confounding factors such as age and body mass index(BMI),and correlation analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between psychological status and weight loss outcomes.Results:A total of 314 patients were included,with 130 cases(41.4％)in the PCOS group.Before matching,the PCOS group had significantly worse psychological indicators and lower weight loss outcomes compared to the non-PCOS group(all P＜0.05);after matching,these differences were no longer statistically significant(all P＞0.05).Emotional eating was positively correlated with 12-month weight loss outcomes in the PCOS group,while anxiety and internalized weight stigma were associated with weight loss outcomes in the non-PCOS group(P＜0.05).Additionally,among patients with moderate and extreme obesity,weight loss outcomes in the PCOS group were superior to those in the non-PCOS group(P＜0.05).BMI was negatively correlated with self-esteem,eating behaviors,and quality of life(all P＜0.05).Conclusion:Obese patients with PCOS exhibit notable psychological distress.However,after controlling for BMI and age,their psychological status and weight loss outcomes are comparable to those of non-PCOS patients.BMI may serve as an important confounding factor,and psychological factors may influence weight loss indirectly through eating behaviors.Preoperative psychological screening and intervention are recommended.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of β-elemonic acid(β-EA)on the proliferation and inva-sion of colon cancer cells and the underlying mechanisms through PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.Methods The effects of β-EA on colon cancer cell proliferation were evaluated using the MTT assay and colony formation as-say.Transwell invasion assay were used to assess the impact of β-EA on invasion.Western blot analysis was con-ducted to detect changes in PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway proteins after treatment.Results MTT assay showed thatβ-EA effectively inhibited the proliferation of colon cancer HCT8 and HCT116 cells in a dose-dependent manner.The colony formation assay confirmed its inhibitory effect on cell proliferation.Transwell invasion assays demonstra-ted that β-elemonic acid reduced the invasion abilities of the cells.Western blot analysis revealed increased expression of apoptosis-related proteins cleaved-caspase 3,cleaved-caspase 9,and Bax,while Bcl-2 expression was decreased.Invasion-related proteins vimentin,snail,MMP2,and MMP9 were downregulated after treatment.Addi-tionally,β-EAA reduced the levels of p-PI3K,p-Akt,and p-mTOR,and these reductions were more pronounced af-ter the addition of the PI3K inhibitor LY294002.Conclusions β-EA may inhibit proliferation and invasion in colon cancer cell lines HCT8 and HCT116 through PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway,and potentially be transformed as a novel therapeutic agent for colon cancer.

Objective To analyze the characteristics and risk factors associated with postoperative deep vein thrombosis(DVT)of the lower extremities in patients undergoing surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 298 patients who were hospitalized for lumbar degenerative diseases and underwent lumbar spine surgery treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from October 1,2022 to April 15,2023.Patients were divided into DVT group(n=71)and non-DVT group(n=227)according to whether DVT of the lower limbs occurred within 1 week postoperatively.The incidence and distribution characteristics of postoperative DVT were analyzed.Univariate and binary logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for DVT,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to determine cut-off values for relevant risk factors.Results A total of 298 patients were included,among whom 159 were males(53.4%)and 139 were females(46.6%),with an average age of(64.5±9.8)years.DVT occurred in 71 patients,and the incidence of lower extremity DVT was 23.8%.In the DVT group,there were 49 cases(69.0%)of intermuscular vein thrombosis,and 22 cases of other types of thrombosis(7 cases of peroneal vein thrombosis,4 cases of posterior tibial vein thrombosis,3 cases of common femoral vein thrombosis,1 case of anterior tibial vein thrombosis,and 7 cases of multiple thrombosis);58 cases(81.7%)had DVT in one lower extremity,and 13 cases(18.3%)had DVT in both lower extremities.Univariate analysis results showed that age,body mass index(BMI),length of hospital stay,history of hypertension,operative time,and intraoperative blood loss were associated with the occurrence of lower extremity DVT after surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases(P<0.05).Binary logistic regression analysis results indicated that older age(OR=1.079,P<0.01),higher BMI(OR=1.130,P=0.01),history of hypertension(OR=2.992,P<0.01),and larger intraoperative blood loss(OR=1.002,P=0.03)were independent risk factors for the occurrence of lower extremity DVT.ROC curve analysis demonstrated that patients with age>58.5 years,BMI>24.01 kg/m2,history of hypertension,and intraoperative blood loss>550 ml had a significantly increased risk of postoperative lower limb DVT.Conclusions The incidence of lower extremity DVT after surgery for lumbar degenerative disease is high,and intermuscular venous thrombosis is more common.Older age,higher BMI,history of hypertension,and larger intraoperative blood loss are independent risk factors for the occurrence of lower extremity DVT after surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical significance of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in response evaluation and relapse monitoring for patients with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL). METHODS: The clinical characteristics, efficacy and survival of 38 PMBCL patients in our hospital from January 2010 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The ctDNA monitoring was conducted by targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS). RESULTS: Among the 38 patients, 26 cases were female, and 32 cases were diagnosed with Ann Arbor stage I-II. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate and progression-free survival (PFS) rate were 74.7% and 61.7%, respectively. Males and those with high aaIPI scores (3 points) had a relatively poor prognosis. The NGS results of 23 patients showed that STAT6 (65.2%), SOCS1 (56.5%), and TNFAIP3 (56.5%) were the most common mutated genes. Patients with stable disease (SD)/progressive disease (PD) exhibited enrichment in cell cycle, FoxO, and TNF signaling pathways. A total of 29 patients underwent end-of-treatment PET/CT (EOT PET/CT), and 16 of them received ctDNA monitoring with 12 negative. Among 6 patients with EOT PET/CT positive (Deauville 4), 4 underwent ctDNA monitoring, and 3 of them were negative, being still in continuous remission without any subsequent anti-tumor therapy. CONCLUSION CtDNA may be combined with PET/CT to assess efficacy, monitor relapse, and guide treatment of PMBCL.
