This study was aimed at investigating differentially expressed genes(DEGs)in Clonorchis sinensis(C.sinensis)meta-cercariae and newly excysted juveniles(NEJs)cultured in vitro for 1 hour or 3 hours,through transcriptomic analysis.Our objective was to explore the mechanisms underlying host invasion.Metacercariae were digested and isolated from Pseudorasbora parva infected with C.sinensis.The metacercariae excysted and developed into NEJs in vitro.Subsequently,the mRNA of metacercariae and NEJs cultured in vitro for 1 hour or 3 hours was extracted for transcriptomic sequencing analysis to screen for DEGs,and to conduct GO and KEGG analyses.A protein-protein interaction network(PPI)was constructed to identify hub genes.A total of 1 218 DEGs were de-tected.The main enriched GO terms of DEGs included transcription regulator activity and gated channel activity(primarily K+).The KEGG pathways significantly enriched in DEGs included cholesterol metabolism,lysosome,synthesis,secretion,and action of para-thyroid hormone.ZFAND4-2,BIRC6,and other genes were screened and identified as hub genes through PPI network analysis.Addi-tionally,abundant differential expression of cathepsin-related genes,including Cathepsin L and Cathepsin F,were observed before and after excystment in C.sinensis.Therefore,significant transcriptional level changes occurred in the metacercariae of C.sinensis be-fore and after excystation,and enrichment was observed primarily in signaling pathways,such as activation of growth and material me-tabolism,that regulate parasite growth and development.Meanwhile,biological events conducive to parasite invasion,migration,and adhesion were triggered.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of an obstetric artificial intelligence (AI) assistant combined with a family-centered health education model on maternal self-care ability, comfort status, and spousal caregiving ability.Methods:This prospective, single-center, parallel randomized controlled trial used 1∶1 randomization and was conducted as a superiority trial. Postpartum mothers and their spouses admitted to family-style single rooms at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between October 2024 and April 2025 were enrolled and randomly assigned to control or intervention groups using a random number table. The control group received conventional health education, while the intervention group received conventional health education plus the AI-assisted family-centered model. Interventions were administered at 2 hours, 6 hours, and 24 hours postpartum, and before discharge. Outcomes included maternal self-care ability, comfort status, and spousal caregiving ability, which were assessed at 2 hours postpartum and before discharge. Data were analyzed using independent and paired t-tests and Chi square tests. Results:Of the 88 mother-spouse dyads initially recruited, four were excluded due to mother-infant separation (e.g., neonatal jaundice), leaving 84 dyads (42 per group). After the intervention, the intervention group showed significantly higher maternal self-care ability scores [(192.81±13.80) vs. (181.00±21.41) scores, t=3.00], higher maternal comfort scores [(104.43±7.52) vs. (96.00±14.29) scores, t=3.38], and better spousal caregiving ability [(6.07±3.13) vs. (9.50±5.02) scores, t=-3.76] compared to the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The obstetric AI assistant combined with a family-centered health education model significantly improved maternal self-care ability and comfort status, as well as spousal caregiving ability.

Background Gastric carcinogenesis is a multifactorial and complex process, in which long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles as oncogenes or antioncogenes. Research has found that the expression of lncRNA LINC02859 is down-regulated in gastric cancer tissues and correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation and TNM stage, and also plays an important role in the development of malignant transformation of cells induced by environmental carcinogen N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), but its mechanism of action is still unclear. Objective To explore the role and potential regulatory mechanism of gastric cancer-associated lncRNA LINC02859 in MNNG-induced malignant transformation of human normal gastric mucosal cells (GES-1). Methods A total of 110 gastric cancer patients from a high incidence area of gastric cancer in Gansu Province were selected, and their cancer tissues and normal gastric mucosa tissues adjacent to the cancer were collected to detect the expression level of LINC02859 by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). High-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis of the tissues were used to identify the potential signaling pathways regulated by the genes co-expressed with LINC02859. GES-1 cells at 70%-80% cell fusion with low cell passage number and normal morphology were incubated with 0, 0.25 and 0.5 μmol·L−1 MNNG solution for 48 h and the LINC02859 expression level was detected. Cell proliferation activity was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), clone formation was detected by plate clone formation assay, and cell migration ability was detected by scratch assay to evaluate the effects of MNNG on cell morphology and function. The expression levels of key proteins of Wnt signaling pathway were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blotting. Results The RT-qPCR results showed that LINC02859 was lowly expressed in the gastric cancer tissues compared with the paracancerous tissues, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The pathway enrichment analysis showed that LINC02859 potentially regulated the Wnt pathway. The in vitro malignant transformation assay suggested that after the MNNG exposure, the malignant cells of passage 5 (MC-5) had altered morphology, increased number of colony formation, and higher proliferation and migration ability than the control cells; compared with the normal GES-1 cells, LINC02859 gene expression levels were reduced in the 0.25 μmol·L−1 and the 0.5 μmol·L−1 MNNG-exposed GES-1 cells; the expression levels of key proteins of the Wnt pathway, transcription factor 7 (TCF7), Axis inhibitor (Axin1), phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (p-GSK-3β), casein kinase 1 (CK1), and β-catenin, were elevated in the cells after 0.5 μmol·L−1 MNNG exposure (P < 0.05); whereas, overexpression of LINC02859 suppressed the activating effect of MNNG on the Wnt pathway. Conclusion LINC02859 is lowly expressed in the cancer tissues of gastric cancer patients. MNNG exposure induces morphological and functional changes in GES-1 cells, down-regulated expression of LINC02859, and activation of the Wnt signaling pathway; overexpression of LINC02859 inhibits the activation of the Wnt signaling pathway in the gastric carcinogenesis induced by MNNG exposure.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of ovarian torsion in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles and identify factors that may affect the outcome. Methods:Patients who underwent surgery for ovarian torsion during IVF treatment in the Center of Reproductive Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking University Third Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were included. The general information, IVF cycle characteristics, and intraoperative findings of patients were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnosis and treatment process were summarized. The pregnancy outcomes were followed up, and the possible influencing factors were analyzed.Results:There were 141 539 cycles of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and 75 585 cycles of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) during the study period. A total of 50 patients were diagnosed with ovarian torsion and treated surgically, 90.0% of them occurred in the COS cycles (39 cases in fresh embryo transfer cycles and 6 cases in embryo freezing cycles), and 10.0% (5/50) occurred in the FET cycles (endometrial preparation in natural cycles or ovulation induction cycles). About 86.0% (43/50) of the patients occurred during pregnancy assisted with IVF-ET and 81.4% (35/43) occurred in the first trimester of pregnancy. All patients except one had abdominal pain as the first symptom, only 34.0% (17/50) of the patients had definite inducements, and all patients had signs of tenderness in the lower abdomen and adnexal area. Preoperative ultrasound examination showed that the average diameter of the torsional ovaries was (78.17±15.98) mm, compared with (48.69±15.96) mm in the controls, with an average difference of (30.13±19.69) mm (-3.5-80.0 mm). About 76.2% (32/42) of the torsional ovaries showed blood flow signals by color doppler ultrasound. All patients underwent surgery, and the coincidence rate between the preoperative diagnosis and the surgical diagnosis was 96%. Totally 22 torsional ovaries (44%) were found to be purplish-black, of which 16 cases underwent adnexectomy by laparoscopy or laparotomy. Totally 34 cases (68%) underwent ovarian detorsion. The average torsional degree of ovaries in the adnexectomy group was higher than that in the ovarian detorsion group [(727.50±206.54)° vs. (477.35±262.92)°, P=0.002]. There were no statistical differences between the two groups in the duration from onset to operation and the ratio of ovarian blood signal deficiency (all P>0.05). Among 44 patients with the embryo transfer, 84.1% (37/44) of patients obtained live birth, 1 case had implantation failure, and 6 cases had a spontaneous abortion. Patients with an adverse pregnancy outcome and patients with a live birth did not have significantly different ovarian torsion time, surgical methods, the duration from onset to operation, and other factors. Conclusion:Ovarian torsion in patients with IVF-ET treatment mostly occurs in the first trimester of pregnancy after fresh embryo transfer. Abdominal pain accompanied by differential enlargement of bilateral ovaries may suggest the possibility of ovarian torsion. We are unable to rule out ovarian torsion by observation of ovarian blood flow with color Doppler ultrasound. Active surgery was helpful to make a clear diagnosis and protect the fertility of patients. Patients with long torsional durations, purplish-black ovaries, or ovarian blood deficiency still have the opportunity to retain the torsional ovary. The pregnancy outcome of patients with ovarian torsion was satisfactory after surgical treatment.
