[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。

To address the growing challenge of an increasing number of elderly lung cancer patients amidst China's aging population and to fill the gap in quality control standards for surgical treatment in this special population, this study aimed to develop a standardized surgical evaluation system for elderly lung cancer patients tailored to China's national conditions. The system was established through a literature review, integrated the pathophysiological characteristics of elderly patients, and was constructed following review, feedback, and revision by experts from multiple thoracic surgery centers. Employing a 100-point scoring system, it comprises three primary domains: physical infrastructure and geriatric adaptability foundational conditions (10 points); management level and perioperative care models (20 points); and technical proficiency and clinical outcomes (70 points). The system places a strong emphasis on geriatric adaptability, proposing specific, quantifiable indicators for age-friendly facility modifications, control of elderly-specific complications, multidisciplinary collaboration, and standardized perioperative management. It provides a convenient and measurable assessment tool for quality control in the surgical treatment of elderly lung cancer in China, which is expected to promote the standardization and homogenization of diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the etiology and treatment of dysuria shortly after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), so as to improve the therapeutic efficacy. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1361 BPH patients who received HoLEP at our hospital during Mar. 2018 and Mar. 2025. All patients underwent ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), urethral probing or radiography, cystourethroscopy, and urodynamic testing. The causes, treatments and prognosis of dysuria after operation were summarized. Results ninety-eight patients (7.2%) experienced dysuria within 3 months after surgery, and all patients received initial urethral dilation. Among the 62 cases with urethral stricture, 28 were treated with urethral dilation (average of 8 sessions), 16 underwent external urethral incision, 8 underwent anterior urethroplasty, and 10 underwent transurethral plasma incision for urethral stricture. Of the 12 cases with residual prostate tissue, 5 underwent urethral plasma prostatectomy and 7 received medication. All of the 12 cases with bladder neck contracture underwent transurethral plasma incision of the bladder neck and local drug injection. Five cases with intravesical blood clots underwent urethral blood clot irrigation, 2 of which developed active bleeding and then underwent electrocoagulation. Four cases with detrusor dysfunction had catheters re-indwelled for one week followed by medication. Two cases with stone and one case with tissue fragment impacted in the urethra underwent urethral holmium lithotripsy and cystoscopic removal. All patients underwent reoperation successfully and experienced complete resolution or significant improvement of urinary difficulties. Conclusion A certain proportion of patients experience dysuria after HoLEP, with diverse etiologies. The combination of prevention and treatment can reduce the incidence of dysuria.

Aim To investigate the effect of curcumol(Cur)on apoptosis in senescent Hep3B cells induced by XL413.Methods XL413 induced a senescence model in Hep3B cells.Cur intervention was adminis-tered.CCK-8 and Incucyte? assays were used to eval-uate cell proliferation.Senescence-associated beta-gal-actosidase(SA-β-gal)staining was performed to assess cellular senescence.Flow cytometry was employed to detect apoptosis.RT-qPCR was conducted to measure the mRNA expression levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP)factors IL-6,IL-8,and CXCL10.Western blot was performed to assess the ex-pression levels of p16,PI3K,p-PI3K,Akt,p-AKT,Bax,and Bcl-2.The ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K,p-Akt/Akt,and Bcl-2/Bax were calculated.Results Fol-lowing XL413 intervention,the proportion of SA-β-gal-positive cells and the expression of p16 protein signifi-cantly increased compared to the control group(P＜0.05),suggesting the successful establishment of the cell senescence model.CCK-8 assay showed that the IC50 values of Cur intervention in Hep3B cells at 24 h,48 h,and 72 h were 106.40 μmol·L-1,54.67 μmol·L-1,and 31.87 μmol·L-1,respectively.Incucy-te? cell proliferation assay demonstrated that the cell proliferation rate was significantly lower in the XL413 group compared to that in the control group(P＜0.05),and further decreased after Cur intervention(P＜0.05)in a concentration-dependent manner.The proportion of apoptotic cells in the Cur group was sig-nificantly higher than that in the XL413 group(P＜0.05),also exhibiting concentration dependence.Cur intervention led to a significant reduction in IL-6,IL-8,CXCL10 mRNA expression levels,as well as p-PI3K/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT ratios compared to the XL413 group(P＜0.05),with a concentration-de-pendent effect.The expression of Bax protein increased(P＜0.05),while Bcl-2 protein expression decreased and the Bcl-2/Bax ratio decreased(P＜0.05)in the Cur group,showing a dose-dependent effect.Conclu-sions Cur has been shown to clear XL413-induced senescent Hep3B cells,reduce their SASP expression and promote apoptosis.The underlying mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of estimating the real-ear-to-coupler difference(RECD)in children with head circumference,so as to further optimize the personalized and accurate matching scheme of hearing aid fitting for children.Methods A total of 106 children(197 ears)were enrolled in this study.Head circumference was measured using a soft ruler and RECD was measured using OmetroricsAuricalTM.SPSS software was used to analyze the correlation between the head circumference,month age and RECD values at each frequency of children.Results ① The head circumference of boys was slightly larger than that of girls,but there was no significant differ-ence between them(P＞0.05).② Unitary linear correlation analysis showed that RECD values at 750-6 000 Hz were negatively correlated with the head circumference,and a regression equation was established between RECD values at 1 000-6 000 Hz and the head circumference.③ RECD values calculated by regression formula based on the head circumference showed no significant difference between 1 000-3 000 Hz and 6 000 Hz and children's actu-al RECD values.Conclusion The individual RECD values of 0-6 years old children were correlated with the head circumference,and with the increase of the head circumference,RECD values at middle and high frequencies de-creased gradually.For children whose physical developments were not consistent with biological age,the RECD data at middle and high frequencies could be estimated based on the head circumference.

Objective To analyze the clinical and immunological characteristics of a rare case of CHARGE syndrome,we summarize the genotype and phenotype in the Chinese patient population,and explore the underlying immunopathogenic mechanisms.Methods Clinical data from a pediatric patient with CHARGE syndrome were collected and analyzed.A comprehensive analysis of the Chinese patient population was conducted.Gene analysis and immunological characterization were performed using flow cytometry,deep sequencing,and quantitative PCR.Results The proband was a premature female infant whose primary clinical manifestations included congenital heart disease,recurrent respiratory infections,respiratory failure,airway dysplasia,hearing impairment,and bilateral choroidal coloboma.Whole-exome sequencing revealed a de novo heterozygous nonsense mutation in the CHD7 gene,c.5122C＞T(p.Gln1708Ter),classified as pathogenic according to ACMG criteria.Immunological studies indicated impaired thymic output of T cells,significant alterations in the number and proportion of CD8+T cell subsets,increased apoptosis,and defective activation and production of key effector cytokines such as IFN-γ by CD8+T cells.However,no significant abnormalities were observed in peripheral lymphocyte proliferation.Conclusion CHARGE syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder primarily caused by mutations in the CHD7 gene.The main clinical features include ocular defects,cardiac disease,choanal atresia/cleft lip and palate,growth retardation,gonadal hypoplasia,and ear anomalies.This case study suggests that CHARGE syndrome is associated with abnormalities in the development,apoptosis,and effector functions of immune cells.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),which is essentially primary liver cancer,is closely related to CD8+T cell immune infiltration and immune suppression.We constructed a CD8+T cells related risk score model to pre-dict the prognosis of HCC patients and provided therapeutic guidance based on the risk score.Using integrated bulk RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)and single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)datasets,we identified stable CD8+T cell signatures.Based on these signatures,a 3-gene risk score model,comprised of KLRB1,RGS2,and TN-FRSF1B was constructed.The risk score model was well validated through an independent external validation co-hort.We divided patients into high-risk and low-risk groups according to the risk score and compared the differ-ences in immune microenvironment between these two groups.Compared with low-risk patients,high-risk patients have higher M2-type macrophage content(P＜0.0001)and lower CD8+T cells infiltration(P＜0.0001).High-risk patients predict worse response to immunotherapy treatment than low-risk patients(P＜0.01).Drug sensitivity a-nalysis shows that PI3K-β inhibitor AZD6482 and TGFβRII inhibitor SB505124 may be suitable therapies for high-risk patients,while the IGF-1R inhibitor BMS-754807 or the novel pyrimidine-based anti-tumor metabolic drug Gemcitabine could be potential therapeutic choices for low-risk patients.Moreover,expression of these 3-gene mod-el was verified by immunohistochemistry.In summary,the establishment and validation of a CD8+T cell-derived risk model can more accurately predict the prognosis of HCC patients and guide the construction of personalized treatment plans.

Objective:To analyze the development trend of medical institution bed allocation in OECD countries and provide insights for optimizing bed resources allocation in China.Methods:Data on indicators of bed allocation and related factors from 1991 to 2022 were collected from the OECD online database.Bed allocation impact dimensions were identified based on health needs and demand theories.The random effect model and correlation analysis were used to explore influencing pathways of bed allocation.Results:The number of beds per 1 000 population and average life expectancy showed a significant positive correlation in countries below the average bed level,while an inverse trend was observed in countries above the average level.The number of long-term care beds per 1000 population showed positive correlation with average life expectancy.Multidimensional factors such as the disease spectrum and bed utilization efficiency were significant correlated with the bed allocation levels.The greater the gap in inpatient and outpatient reimbursement rations,the higher the demand for hospitalization among patients with chronic disease.Conclusions:An optimal number of beds is essential for achieving higher health outcomes.The bed classification planning system should be designed to adapt to demographic changes and strengthen the medical security support system.
