ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) microinjection into the median preoptic nucleus (MnPO) on core body temperature in female mice, and to clarify its underlying mechanism. MethodsMicroinjection cannula were implanted into the MnPO of female mice using stereotaxic surgery.Subsequently, a multi-channel temperature acquisition system was used to simultaneously monitor rectal and brown adipose tissue (BAT) temperatures before and after intra-MnPO injections of different reagents.To investigate the thermoregulatory effects of the microinjection of PGE2 into the MnPO, 12 female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a saline group (n=6) and a PGE2 group (n=6), which were injected with 0.1 μL saline and PGE2 (2.8 mmol/L), respectively.To determine whether E-series prostaglandin receptor (EP)1, EP3, and EP4 receptors mediate the thermoregulatory effects of PGE2, 15 female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=5 per group).Mice in each group first received an injection of 0.1 μL PGE2 (2.8 mmol/L) into the MnPO. After their body temperature returned to baseline levels, they were subsequently injected with a mixture of either EP1, EP3 or EP4 antagonist (ant) (20 mmol/L) + PGE2 (2.8 mmol/L). ResultsCompared with baseline level, the rectal temperature (P<0.01) and BAT temperature (P<0.001) of female mice both increased significantly after microinjection of PGE2 into the MnPO.Compared with the saline group, the increases in rectal temperature (P<0.001) and BAT temperature (P<0.000 1) were significantly greater in the PGE2 group of mice.Furthermore, following the injection of PGE2 into MnPO, the increase in BAT temperature was found to be significantly greater than that in rectal temperature in mice (P<0.001).Compared to the administration of PGE2 alone, co-injection of an EP3 ant + PGE2 into the MnPO of mice resulted in a significantly smaller increase in both rectal temperature (P<0.001) and BAT temperature (P<0.001).In contrast, the increases in rectal and BAT temperatures following MnPO injection of either EP1 ant + PGE2 or EP4 ant + PGE2 were not statistically significant (P>0.05). ConclusionInjection of PGE2 into the MnPO elevates BAT and core body temperature in female mice via the EP3 receptor.

Patients with lung cancer experience a heavy symptom burden during the perioperative period, which seriously affects their recovery and quality of life. Traditional symptom management models rely mainly on scheduled ward rounds during hospitalization and outpatient follow-up after discharge. However, they have limitations such as delayed symptom recognition, lack of post-discharge monitoring, and non-quantitative symptom assessment, which often lead to delayed interventions and low patient satisfaction. In recent years, the symptom management model based on electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) has been increasingly valued in clinical practice. Existing high-level evidence from both domestic and international studies indicates that, through proactive monitoring, real-time alerts, and remote interventions, this model enables dynamic and continuous symptom management and helps improve patient recovery and healthcare experience. As a supplement to routine medical care, the ePRO-based symptom management model aims to enhance the quality of care rather than replace existing medical processes. To promote the standardized application of this model in perioperative lung cancer care, this consensus integrates domestic and international evidence. After multiple rounds of voting by more than 50 experts, it formulates 12 consensus statements covering the three core components, symptom monitoring, alerting, and intervention, to provide scientific and practical recommendations for clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of pre-infarction angina(PIA)combined with serum lipo-protein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2)for no-reflow during primary percutaneous coronary interven-tion(PCI)in elderly patients with new-onset acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Meth-ods:A total of 189 patients who hospitalized because of acute STEMI and underwent primary PCI within 12h in De-partment of Cardiology,Cangzhou People's Hospital between January 2018 and December 2022 were enrolled.Ac-cording to their TIMI blood flow during PCI,the patients were divided into no reflow group(n=42)and normal re-flow group(n=147).The baseline data were compared between two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression analy-sis was used to analyze the risk factors of no-reflow during PCI.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to evaluate the predictive value of PIA and Lp-PLA2 for no-reflow.Results:PI A occurred in 73 cases(38.6%),and no reflow occurred in 42 cases(22.2%)during primary PCI.Compared with patients in normal re-flow group,those in no reflow group had significant higher Lp-PLA2[(341.33±98.32)ng/ml vs.(261.95±75.21)ng/ml]and onset to reperfusion time[(7.02±1.28)h vs.(5.14±1.48)h],and significant lower incidence of PIA(23.8% vs.42.9%)(P<0.05 or<0.01).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that Lp-PLA2(OR=1.528,95%CI 1.028~2.030,P<0.001),onset to reperfusion time(OR=2.602,95%CI 1.848~3.665,P<0.001)were independent risk factors for no reflow during PCI in elderly STEMI patients,while PIA was an inde-pendent protective factor(OR=0.261,95%CI 0.101~0.671,P=0.005).The area under ROC curve of Lp-PLA2 combined PIA was 0.863(95%CI 0.806~0.909),which was significantly higher than those of Lp-PLA2[0.733(95%CI 0.664~0.794),Z=2.690,P=0.007]and PIA alone[0.609(95%CI 0.535~0.679),Z=5.657,P<0.001].Conclusion:Pre-infarction angina has an important protective effect on no-reflow in STEMI patients.High Lp-PLA2 and absence of pre-infarction angina at admission may be good predictors of no-reflow during primary PCI in elderly patients with newly-onset acute STEMI,and it contributes to risk stratification of high risk patients.

Objective:To analyze the predictive role of WT1 expression levels pre-and early post-transplantation on relapse and overall survival(OS)in patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML)undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)during their first complete remission(CR1).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 107 adult AML patients who underwent allo-HSCT during their CR1 at our center between May 2012 and December 2021.The predictive role of bone marrow WT1 expression levels before transplantation and at 3 and 6 months post-transplantation on relapse and OS was explored in combination with relevant clinical factors.Results:The median follow-up time for the 107 patients was 70(range:11-117)months.Among the patients,15 cases died.Kaplan-Meier survial analysis showed that the 3-year overall survival(OS)rate was 85.0%.20 patients experienced relapse,with a median time to relapse of 8(range:0.5-44)months and a l-year cumulative relapse rate of 13.1%.The overall median value of WT1 before transplantation,3 months after transplantation,and 6 months after transplantation was 0.26%(range:0%-23.64%),with an upper quartile value of 0.74%.No statistically significant differences in WT1 expression levels were observed among the pre-transplantation,3-month post-transplantation,and 6-month post-transplantation time points(P=0.227).Univariate analysis showed that patients with WT1 levels>0.74%at 3 months post-transplantation had a higher 1-year relapse rate(P=0.029)and lower 3-year OS rate(P<0.001)compared to patients with WT1 levels ≤0.74%.Other significant factors affecting 1-year relapse included stem cell source(P=0.041)and chronic graft-versus-host disease(cGVHD)(P=0.013).For 3-year OS,additional influencing factors were genetic high risk(P=0.048)and stem cell source(P=0.016).Multivariate analysis revealed that WT1 level>0.74%at 3 months post-transplantation had a trend to affect 1-year relapse rate(HR=3.309,95%CI:0.958-11.431,P=0.058),while the absence of cGVHD was an independent risk factor for 1-year relapse(HR=3.473,95%CI:0.749-16.100,P=0.037).Only WT1 level>0.74%at 3 months post-transplantation was an independent risk factor for 3-year OS(HR=6.886,95%CI:2.402-19.738,P<0.001).Conclusion:High WT1 expression level at 3 months post-transplantation in AML patients undergoing allo-HSCT during CR1 affects the 1-year relapse rate and 3-year OS,and is an independent risk factor affecting 3-year OS.These findings suggest that dynamic monitoring of WT1 expression levels has certain value in prognostic assessment of AML patients who received allo-HSCT during CR1.

Objective:To provide a scoping review of domestic and international studies on the influencing factors of frailty in stroke inpatients, and to provide guidance for interventional studies on debility in stroke inpatients in China.Methods:A systematic search of domestic and international literature databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang, VIP, China Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL was conducted about the status and its influencing factors of frailty in stroke inpatients. The retrieval time limit was from database establishment to November 23, 2023. The included literature was extracted, analyzed, and summarized according to the reporting specifications of the scope review guidelines.Results:Thirty-six articles were included, all of the 36 papers reported the prevalence of frailty in patients with stroke. The top three countries with the highest prevalence were China (15.3%-86.9%), the United Kingdom (28%-78%), and Italy (31.37%). The risk factors of stroke frailty were categorized mainly into 4 themes: social demographic factors, physical health factors, disease-related factors, and psychological and social background factors.Conclusions:The confidence of frailty in stroke patients of a higher level at home and abroad, and the risk factors involved are complex and diverse. It is suggested that future studies need to conduct large-sample, multicenter longitudinal studies to clarify the causal relationship, strengthen the exploration of controversial factors of stroke debility, and carry out more targeted intervention studies, so as to reduce the incidence of frailty and improve the recovery process of patients.

Objective:To discuss the effect of prostaglandin E2(PGE2),a pyrogenic mediator,on the discharge activity of warm-sensitive neurons(WSNs)in median preoptic nucleus(MnPO)of hypothalamus in the female mice,and to clarify its mechanism.Methods:Coronal brain slices of MnPO were prepared from the female mice.The slices were then perfused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid(ACSF)containing synaptic transmission blockers(STBs).The discharge frequency was monitored using the patch clamp technique while changing the temperature of the perfusate to identify the WSNs.A total of 32 MnPO WSNs were divided into base line group(n=32)and PEG2(n=32).The patch clamp technique was employed to monitor the discharge frequencies of MnPO WSNs following the perfusion of ACSF and 1 μmol·L-1 PGE2,respectively.The MnPO WSNs with good activity and significant change in discharge frequency after PGE2 perfusion were divided into PGE2 receptor E-series prostaglandin receptrol(EP)1 antagonist(EP1 ant)+PGE2 group(n=7),EP3 ant+PGE2 group(n=7),and EP4 ant+PGE2 group(n=7).The patch clamp technique was used to monitor the discharge frequencies of MnPO WSNs following the perfusion of 3 μmol·L-1 EP1 ant and 1 μmol·L-1 PGE2 mixture,10 μmol·L-1 EP3 ant and 1 μmol·L-1 PGE2mixture,and 10 μmol·L-1 EP4 ant and 1 μmol·L-1 PGE2 mixture,respectively.Resluts:After perfuson of the ACSF containing STBs,a total of 188 MnPO neurons from the female mice with an intrinsic temperature sensitivity coefficient(m value)were identified;out of these,32 neurons had an m value of ≥0.8 and were identified as MnPO WSNs,accounting for approximately 17%of all recorded neurons.Compared with baseline discharge frequency,the discharge frequency of MnPO WSNs after addition of PGE2 was decreased(P<0.05).Compared with PGE2 group,the percentage change in discharge frequency of MnPO WSNs in EP3 ant+PGE2 group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with PGE2 group,the percentage change in discharge frequency of MnPO WSNs in EP1 ant+PGE2 group had no significant difference(P>0.05).Compared with PGE2 group,the percentage change in discharge frequency of MnPO WSNs in EP4 ant+PGE2 group had no significant difference(P>0.05).Conclusion:In the female mice,WSNs make up approximately 17%of the total neurons in MnPO.PGE2 can directly inhibit the discharge activity of MnPO WSNs in the female mice through postsynaptic mechanism involving EP3 receptors.
