Objective:To explore the optimal duration of preoperative imatinib therapy in patients with locally advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) in order to optimize surgical timing and long-term survival benefits.Methods:A total of 171 patients with locally advanced GIST who received preoperative imatinib therapy and subsequent surgical resection between November 2012 and October 2024 at Fujian Cancer Hospital and Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into three groups according to the duration of preoperative imatinib treatment: short-term (≤6 months, n=50), intermediate-term (7-12 months, n=87), and long-term (>12 months, n=34). Imaging response, pathological efficacy, recurrence-free survival (RFS), and overall survival (OS) were compared among the groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify the optimal treatment duration. Results:The median duration of preoperative imatinib therapy was 9 (6, 12) months. After treatment, the average maximum tumor diameter decreased from (10.37±5.74) cm to (6.99±4.34) cm, with an average shrinkage of 31.5%. The objective response rates in the short-, intermediate-, and long-term groups were 50.0% (25/50), 58.6% (51/87), and 52.9% (18/34), respectively; high-grade pathological response rates were 28.0% (14/50), 37.9% (33/87), and 29.4% (10/34), with no statistically significant differences among groups (all P>0.05). With a median follow-up of 46 months, 39 patients experienced recurrence and 20 died. The intermediate-term group had 3- and 5-year RFS rates of 87.1% and 79.6%, respectively, significantly better than those of the short-term group (75.5% and 55.5%, P=0.004). The long-term group had 3- and 5-year RFS rates of 85.3% and 75.5%, which were between the other two groups, but not significantly different (all P>0.05). For OS, the intermediate-term group had 3- and 5-year rates of 97.3% and 92.7%, superior to the short-term group (84.4% and 72.4%, P=0.007), while the long-term group (88.2% and 79.4%) showed no significant advantage (all P>0.05). Stratified analysis revealed that among non-gastric primary tumor patients with c-Kit exon 11 mutations, partial response on imaging, or postoperative imatinib ≤24 months, the intermediate-term group had significantly better RFS and OS than the short-term group (all P<0.05), but had no differences compared to the long-term group ( P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that preoperative imatinib duration was not an independent factor for RFS ( P>0.05), but treatment for 7-12 months was an independent protective factor for OS ( HR=0.275, 95% CI: 0.089-0.851, P=0.025), while prolonging therapy beyond 12 months conferred no additional OS benefit ( P>0.05). Conclusions:In patients with locally advanced GIST, preoperative imatinib therapy for 7-12 months yielded the most favorable prognosis, with significantly improved RFS and OS compared to ≤6 months of treatment. Extending preoperative therapy beyond 12 months did not provide additional survival benefit.

Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 7 (SRSF7), a known splicing factor, has been revealed to play oncogenic roles in multiple cancers. However, the mechanisms underlying its oncogenic roles have not been well addressed. Here, based on N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) co-methylation network analysis across diverse cell lines, we find that the gene expression of SRSF7 is positively correlated with glioblastoma (GBM) cell-specific m⁶A methylation. We then indicate that SRSF7 is a novel m⁶A regulator, which specifically facilitates the m⁶A methylation near its binding sites on the mRNAs involved in cell proliferation and migration, through recruiting the methyltransferase complex. Moreover, SRSF7 promotes the proliferation and migration of GBM cells largely dependent on the presence of the m⁶A methyltransferase. The two m⁶A sites on the mRNA for PDZ-binding kinase (PBK) are regulated by SRSF7 and partially mediate the effects of SRSF7 in GBM cells through recognition by insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2). Together, our discovery reveals a novel role of SRSF7 in regulating m⁶A and validates the presence and functional importance of temporal- and spatial-specific regulation of m⁶A mediated by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs).

Objective: To understand the relationships of social exclusion, personality trait and emotion regulation with willingness to seek help after being bullied, and to provide reference for rationalized intervention of campus bullying among middle school students. Methods: A tatal of 2 040 middle school students from a middle school in Jiangxi Province were selected as the research objects, and surveyed by general situation questionnaire, Olweus Bullying Questionnaire, Willingness to Seek Help Scale, social exclusion scale, personality scale and Emotion Regulation Scale. Among them, a further survey of 381 bullies was conducted and SPSS 26.0 was used for statistical processing of data. Results: About 55.88% (133/238) and 58.74% (84/143) reported willingness to seek help after being bullied among middle and high school students, respectively( χ 2=0.30, P >0.05). There were no significant differences in gender and residency( P >0.05). In junior middle school students, compared with the non help willingness group( 3.83± 0.78，3.35±1.03，3.33±1.03，29.81±7.77), the rejected scores of the help willingness group were lower(3.57±0.75), scores of affinity and openness in personality traits were higher(3.69±0.88，3.72±0.79), the cognitive reappraisal scores were higher( 32.42 ±8.25). Among senior middle school students, the rejected and expression suppression scores of the help willingness group were lower(3.51±0.67，26.96±7.47), while extroversion personality traits were higher(3.61±0.95). Multivariate unconditional Log binomial regression analysis showed that high score of expression suppression was associated with less willingness to seek help( OR=0.94, P =0.02). Conclusion Social exclusion, personality trait and emotional regulation may have certain influences on willingness to seek help after being bullied among junior and senior middle school students, effects varies by grade level.

Background and Objectives: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, which the mechanisms behind its initiation and development are related to many factors. DMSCs (dermal mesenchymal stem cells) represent an important member of the skin microenvironment and play an important role in the surrounding environment and in neighbouring cells, but they are also affected by the microenvironment. We studied the glucose metabolism of DMSCs in psoriasis patients and a control group to reveal the relationship among glucose metabolism, cell proliferation activity，and VEC (vascular endothelial cell) differentiation in vitro, we demonstrated the biological activity and molecular mechanisms of DMSCs in psoriasis. Methods: and Results: We found that the OCR of DMSCs in psoriatic lesions was higher than that in the control group, and mRNA of GLUT1 and HK2 were up-regulated compared with the control group. The proliferative activity of DMSCs in psoriasis was reduced at an early stage, and mRNA involved in proliferation, JUNB and FOS were expressed at lower levels than those in the control group. The number of blood vessels in psoriatic lesions was significantly higher than that in the control group (p＜0.05), which the mRNA of VEC differentiation, CXCL12, CXCR7, HEYL and RGS5 tended to be increased in psoriatic lesions compared to the control group, in addition to Notch3. Conclusions We speculated that DMSCs affected local psoriatic blood vessels through glucose metabolism, and the differentiation of VECs, which resulted in the pathophysiological process of psoriasis.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of four-point fixation in patients with posterior chamber intraocular lens dislocation.Methods:A retrospective case series study was adopted.Sixteen patients (16 eyes) with posterior chamber intraocular lens dislocation who underwent suture suspension techniques with four-point fixation in Changzhou No.2 people's Hospital from January 2015 to January 2018 were enrolled.Postoperative effects were observed during follow-up, ranging from 6 to 13 months.The preoperative and 6-month postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), corneal endothelium cell count and astigmatism were measured and the differences were compared, and the relationships between total astigmatism and corneal astigmatism or intraocular lens induced astigmatism were analyzed, and the postoperative position of intraocular lens and complications were observed.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of Changzhou No.2 People's Hospital (No.2015-C-012-01).Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before surgery.Results:The mean preoperative UCVA (LogMAR) and BCVA (LogMAR) were 1.09±0.24 and 0.48±0.20, respectively, which were significantly improved to 0.30±0.12 and 0.26±0.13 at 6 months after operation, respectively.And the differences were statistically significant ( t=11.782, 3.795; both at P<0.01).The preoperative and 6-month postoperative corneal endothelium cell count were (2 270±360)/mm 2 and (2 032±327)/mm 2, respectively, and the difference was not significant ( t=1.921, P=0.074).The 6-month postoperative mean total astigmatism, corneal astigmatism and intraocular lens induced astigmatism were (-1.47±0.82)D, (-1.34±0.61)D and (-0.22±0.35)D, respectively.There was a highly positive correlation between total astigmatism and corneal astigmatism ( r=0.885, P<0.05), but there was no significant correlation between total astigmatism and intraocular lens induced astigmatism ( r=-0.432, P=0.095).No dislocation, deviation or torsion of intraocular lens were observed during the follow-up.Varying degree of symptoms of iridocyclitis were observed during early stage after operation, which disappeared after treatment.There were two cases of high intraocular pressure, which were normal after treatment.No retinal detachment, choroidal detachment, expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage, endophthalmitis, corneal endothelial decompensation or other complications occurred during and after operation. Conclusions:There is a stable position of intraocular lens, good visual acuity and few complications after four-point fixation with suture and suspension, which is a feasible method to treat dislocated intraocular lens.
