Objective To explore the predictive role of pathological risk score of gastric cancer (PRS_GC) in the prognosis of gastric cancer patients, and to further investigate the correlation between PRS_GC and tumor biological behavior. Methods Clinicopathological data were retrospectively collected from 1 120 patients with gastric cancer who underwent surgical resection at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, between April 2006 and November 2019. PRS_GC was calculated using the previously established DeepRisk model, and patients were divided into high and low PRS_GC groups (560 patients per group) based on the median PRS_GC value. The proportions and spatial distances of immune cell subsets in gastric cancer tissues were assessed between the two groups. Data from stomach adenocarcinoma samples in The Cancer Genome Atlas was integrated to analyze PRS_GC-associated genetic mutations and signaling pathways. Results The survival rate of the high PRS_GC group was lower than that of the low PRS_GC group, and the recurrence rate was higher than that of the low PRS_GC group (P<0.000 1). Compared with the low-PRS_GC group, the high-PRS_GC group exhibited increased infiltration of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and neutrophils within the tumor region (P＜0.05), while the infiltration levels of natural killer T cells and cytotoxic T cells were markedly decreased (P＜0.05). Spatial analysis revealed that a shortened spatial distance between CD4⁺ T cells and Tregs was closely associated with poor prognosis in the high-PRS_GC group (P＝0.03). Furthermore, in the high-PRS_GC group, the number of TIM3⁺ cells showed a positive correlation with the infiltration levels of Tregs (r＝0.69, P＝0.01), CD8⁺ T cells (r＝0.61, P＝0.04), and CD4⁺ T cells (r＝0.67, P＝0.02). Gene set enrichment analysis indicated that a high PRS_GC was associated with the activation of pathways related to actin cytoskeleton regulation, the cGMP-PKG pathway, the Hippo pathway, and tumor proteoglycans. Conclusion A high PRS_GC is associated with an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, as well as tumor invasion and metastasis. It effectively predicts the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer and, by doing so, provides a potential theoretical basis for developing individualized strategies that combine targeted therapy with immunotherapy.

Objective:To report the nationwide surveillance results of pathogenic profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Gram-positive bloodstream infections in China in 2023.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-posttive bacteria from blood cultures were collected in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）during January to December 2023. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the dilution method recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. Statistical analyses were conducted using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software.Results:A total of 4 385 Gram-positive bacterial isolates were obtained from 60 participating center. The top five pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 544，35.2%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=1 441，32.9%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=574，13.1%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=385，8.8%），and α-hemolytic Streptococci（ n=187，4.3%）. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）was 26.2%（405/1 544）and 69.8%（1 006/1 441），respectively. Notably，all Staphylococci remained susceptible to glycopeptide or daptomycin. Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated excellent susceptibility（>97.0%）to cephalobiol，rifampicin，trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline，tigecycline，and eravacycline. No Enterococcus exhibiting resistance to linezolid were detected. Glycopeptide resistance was uncommon but more frequent in Enterococcus faecium（resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin：both 1.7%）compared to Enterococcus faecalis（both 0.3%）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS exhibited significant regional variations across the country（ χ2=17.674 and 148.650，respectively，both P<0.001）. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci were detected in central China. Institutional comparison demonstrated higher prevalence of MRSA（ χ2=14.111， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.828， P=0.028）in provincial hospitals than that in municipal hospitals. Socioeconomic analysis identified elevated detection rates of both MRSA（ χ2=18.986， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.477， P=0.034）in less developed regions（per capita GDP

Objective: To analyze the prevalence and related factors of pediatric flexible flatfoot (PFF) among 7-8 year old children in Changzhou, so as to provide a feasible basis for the prevention and treatment of PFF. Methods: From December 2023 to February 2024, a total of 1 685 children aged 7-8 from 10 primary schools in Changzhou were selected by stratified cluster random sampling method, and screened for PFF by using a foot optical assessment recording device. Information including sex, body mass index (BMI), diet, exercise and shoe wearing habits were collected. The valgus angle of the hindfoot was measured on the body surface by using an orthopedic measuring ruler in the standing position. Pain levels were evaluated by using visual analogue score (VAS) for children with flatfoot syndrome. Multivariate Logistic analysis was used to analyze related factors of PFF. Results: The overall detection rate of PFF was 27.4%, and there was a significant difference in the detection rate of PFF between boys and girls, with 30.3% and 24.1% respectively ( χ 2=7.96, P < 0.01 ). Most cases of PFF were mild flatfoot (60.8%) and bilateral ( 60.4% ). Approximately 13.2% of children with PFF had flatfoot syndrome, with a mean VAS of (2.86±0.73). About 56.1% of children with PFF had a normal valgus angle of the hindfoot. Sex, high BMI and preference for shoe last with front upturned shoe shape were positively correlated with the detection of PFF ( OR= 1.74, 1.54, 1.13, P <0.05). After stratified by sex, regular exercise in boys and age in girls were negatively correlated with the detection of PFF ( OR=0.40, 0.64, P <0.05). Conclusions The detection rate of PFF in 7-8 year old children is high. Additionally, PFF combined with flatfoot syndrome or valgus hindfoot is relatively rare and is likely to be underestimated, which emphasizes the importance of early detection and intervention for PFF.

Objective The oxidative damage of DNA can be caused by excessive levels of Reactive oxygen species(ROS).Monitoring of DNA oxidative damage enables effective evaluation of ROS damage effects.Although the detection of DNA damage effects based on microbial sensor allows quantitative analysis of oxidative damage,the ROS clearance mechanism existed in bacterial will affect the sensitive of detection.The work of this article is to knockout the key genes of ROS clearance mechanism and construct an antioxidant gene-knock-out microbial sensor.The microbial sensor can realize sensitive monitoring of DNA damage effects and then evaluates the damage effects of cells by ROS.Methods The antioxidant damage genes of bacterial ahpCF,katE and katG were knocked out by λ-Red homologous recombination and antioxidant gene-knockout microbial sensor was constructed.The nalidixic acid sodium salt and UV irradiation were used to characterize the performance for monitoring of DNA damage effects.Results The antioxidant gene-knockout microbial sensors ΔahpC,ΔahpCF/ΔkatEG and ΔahpCF/ΔkatE/ΔkatG were constructed successfully.The results showed that the microbial sensor ΔahpCF/ΔkatE/ΔkatGl had the highest sensitive of damage effects and the limit of detection for nalidixic acid sodium salt was 0.40 μmol/L.In addition,1.80 min of UV irradiation(254 nm)was sufficient to induce a significant fluorescent expression effect in the engineered bacteria.Conclusion In this article,antioxidant gene-knockout microbial sensors had been constructed to realize active and sensitive monitoring of DNA damage effects such as DNA damage reagents and UV irradiation.The sensors could provide an active,effective,and sensitive potential monitoring method for future evaluation of radiation effects in space.

Objective To investigate the expression of CKS1B in endometrial carcinoma(EC)and its relationship with clinicopathological features and prognosis.Methods The expression profile data and clinical data of CKS1B from the TCGA and GTEx databases were downloaded to investigate the expression of CKS1B in EC and its relationship with clinicopathological features.The expression of CKS1B at the protein level was verified using the UALCAN database.The relationship between CKS1B expression and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed by Logistic regression.The r program perform enrichment analysis on CKS1B co-expressed genes in the TCGA database.Finally,CKS1B mRNA expression was discovered in the cell lines Ishikawa and HEC-1-A by quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR).CKS1B protein expression was detected in EC tissues and adjacent tissues by Western Bolt(WB).Results CKS1B mRNA and protein were remarkably higher in EC tissues than in normal endometrium,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The level of CKS1B mRNA expression was strongly correlated with FIGO stage(F=42.994),histological grade(F=70.350),histological type(F=87.341)and age(F=40.097)(all P<0.05).The results of the Kaplan-Meier method showed that patients with high CKS1B mRNA expression had a lower overall survival rate(Log-rank x2=1.175,P<0.01).Multifactorial COX analysis showed that FIGO stage(HR=3.065,95%CI:1.906～4.926)and CKS1B expression(HR=1.856,95%CI:1.154～2.985)were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with EC(P<0.05).GO analysis showed that CKS1B was mainly involved in nuclear division and chromosome separation.KEGG analysis showed it was mainly enriched in the cell cycle,spliceosome and DNA replication.Further verification showed that CKS1B mRNA was highly expressed in Ishikawa and HEC-1-A cell lines(F=44.560,P<0.001),CKS1B protein was highly expressed in EC tissues(t=14.900,P<0.001).Conclusion CKS1B is upregulated in EC and is linked to clinicopathological variables in the patients.It may play a role in the development of EC by regulating the cell cycle,and it is expected to be a new marker for the diagnosis and prognosis of EC.
